"Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis." (All things are subject to change, and we change with them.) (Anonymous)

A great many things have changed during the six months. Television viewers went from people contented to watch whatever the networks offered offered, becoming discontented consumers willing to stand up and say "No!" The "Nuts Campaign" forced networks to re-think how they count viewers, and to take them seriously when they speak up in protest. JERICHO fans have also changed since the campaign to save JERICHO began. Some of us find this evolutionary change a good thing, because a culture cannot stand still. If people stay the same, society stagnates. There must be an exchange of ideas and thoughts, otherwise the culture will die. For example, no living creature can survive in stagnate water. With the exception of organisms that feed on one another, stagnate water is an unhealthy environment. When there is no oxygen, healthy organisms smother. Their growth is stifled; all living things need stimulation and change in order to survive.

For many years, people have referred to network television as a vast wasteland. The myriad of reality shows, half-baked sit-coms, and crime show clones can be compared to a pond of stagnating culture. Yet, every so often, a change occurs. A program comes along that stimulates the thoughts of its viewers, and injects a well-needed breath of fresh air into an otherwise stale schedule. JERICHO is such a program, and it has given birth to a fannish multitude who aren't afraid to question, to speculate, to research the web for answers -- and they have no compuntion about sharing their discoveries with others.

When CBS canceled JERICHO, we stood up and were counted. We spoke with one voice, and acted with one heart. Now that JERICHO is coming back for those seven new episodes, it'a more important than ever for us to stand together, to speak with one voice, to act with one heart. It doesn't matter if we do this from one message board or a thousand. It's simple truth that we're speaking up and telling others about JERICHO that's important. Share your thoughts with friends. Tell them about JERICHO. Invite them to watch the DvDs with you. Take them on an exploration of JERICHO fandom, and show them the spririt which drives us.

Together we are a powerful voice. We make millions listen via the Internet, the radio waves, the user groups. There are endless ways to spread the word; it just takes a bit of imagination and a strong will. We've proven we have both, and so let's make these changes we've wrought visible. We made history. We forced an international corporation to stop and listen. If we can do that, there's nothing else in the world we cannot do.

Write to CBS and remind them we're still out here. Urge them to put promote and spotlight the new JERICHO episodes, to let them shine of their own accord. Tell CBS we've done our part, and now they need to do theirs. They have the means by which to make JERICHO's numbers increase where we do not; they have the million dollar advertising budgets and loyal viewing audience. Let CBS know we're still watching, and we're not afraid to stand up again, if need be. CBS needs to be told the changes they've seen in the past six months are good, and that they will help help television breathe new life into the stagnant airwaves.

"This world of ours is a new world, in which the unit of knowledge, the nature of human communities, the order of society, the order of ideas, the very notions of society and culture have changed, and will not return to what they have been in the past. What is new is new, not because it has never been there before, but because it has changed in quality." (J. Robert Oppenheimer)
