Hey All -
Here is some info I got from the E2 mailing list. Here is information on a current campaign that we are trying to get started. Here is a press release for
participants in the "$2 for Earth2" campaign, which apparently is
supposed to begin today May 24th. Feel free to modify it however you like to
fit the needs of your local media.
PRESS RELEASE

(address, city, state, zip)
FROM: EARTH 2 FOUNDATIONS, c/o (your name)

RE: $2 for Earth 2 Campaign
Between May 23, 1995, and June 1, 1995, members of Earth 2 Foundations
will be mailing $2 for Earth 2 to Mike Sullivan, President of
Entertainment at UPN Broadcasting, along with notes requesting that
UPN pick up "Earth 2" for the UPN spring schedule of programs.
"Earth 2" is an Amblin Entertainment production, formerly televized on
NBC (Sunday, 7 PM E.T.). The science fiction/drama series takes place
almost 200 years in the future on a planet 22 light years from Earth.
The series focuses on the odyssey of a small band of humans who are
attempting to colonize an alien world and discovering more about their
own humanity in the process.
"Earth 2", starring Debrah Farentino ("Devon Adair") and Clancy Brown
("John Danzinger"), is an intelligent, entertaining human drama that
explores the issues facing humanity today on Earth 1: diplomatic
solutions instead of violence, unity among diverse cultures, respect
and understanding for nature, environmental awareness, and cooperation
within the group. "Earth 2" consistently extends the limits of quality
television through superb writing, excellent acting and oustanding
production.
Despite a marked lack of support and a show-killing timeslot on NBC,
"Earth 2" has managed to amass a loyal, large following of viewers who
have united behind the series under the banner "Earth 2 Foundations".
Earth 2 Foundations members range in age from school children to
60-plus years in age; the majority of E2 Foundation members are
between the ages 18 and 49. Young professionals, male and female,
have united to find a new network for the series. Using the Internet
and personal computers, the Earth 2 Foundations is seeking to impress
upon UPN Broadcasting, home of the latest Star Trek spin-off
"Voyager", that "Earth 2" is right for the network.
To this end, E2 Foundations members are sending $2 each to UPN:
$2 for Earth 2. The money is merely a gesture, a token to indicate
that this show is, actually, priceless and deserves to become part of
the young, bold line-up of programs airing on UPN.
$2 for Earth 2 is an attempt to impress upon UPN executives the
strong following that Earth 2 has among the 18-49 year old demographic
group, and encourage the network to add Earth 2 to the UPN stable by
showing UPN that Earth 2's fans are willing to put their money on the
line to support the series.
If you would like more information about the series or the $2 for
Earth 2 campaign, feel free to contact me at pfaff@ppsa.com
Thank you.
