6. Action Alerts: For All Battlestar Galactica Fans

NEW! Major Announcement from the Colonial Fan Force!

"WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY - In the CFF's ongoing negotiations with Daily Variety (which offers its heartiest congratulations on our success), a representative of the magazine has made an offer that is impossible for the management of the CFF to ignore. That offer is as follows: 'Normally a full page 4 Color is over $11,000... but since I know you are on a budget I would be willing to give you a full page, 4 Color rate of $7,000!!!' Since Daily Variety is a 'daily,' we have much more flexibility, and the magazine has given us up to one week prior to the artwork deadline (14 September 2004) to upgrade from a black and white ad to a full color ad. No other fan organization has ever taken out a full color ad in support of their cause. This feat is, however, now within our grasp. Therefore, the Colonial Fan Force Campaign has been relaunched, effective immediately, with the goal of raising an additional $2,000 over the next 60 days. We raised $10,000 in 3 months, I firmly believe we can raise another $2,000 in 2 months. If you missed out on making a contribution the first time, you can now make a difference! Spread the word far and wide! We have already made Battlestar Galactica history, now let's make fan history! We can do this. Click on the Paypal link, and make a contribution today! Or, if you prefer, you can mail your check or money order to one of the addresses listed to the left. The Variety offer is an unexpected gift, but a gift nonetheless... now let's take the Battlestar Galactica revival effort where no revival effort has gone before... full color!" The Colonial Fan Force is Endorsed by: Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, Jane Seymour, Stu Phillips, Jack Stauffer, Laurette Spang, Ronald D. Moore, Aaron Douglas, and the Hollywood North Report. Be sure to visit ColonialFanForce.org to contribute and make a difference, and help spread the word!

UPDATED! Sign the Battlestar Galactica Continuation Petitions

UPDATED! Sign the Battlestar Galactica Continuation Petitions and show your support for a continuation of the Battlestar Galactica original series! The first petition is the Battlestar Galactica Original Revival Petition for Tom DeSanto, Bryan Singer, Dan Angel, Billy Brown, Glen A. Larson, Dan Pasternack, David Kissinger, Studios USA, Vivendi Universal, Sci-Fi Channel, and the Fox Network and states that We, the fans of the original 1978 sci-fi television series "Battlestar Galactica" are signaling our sincere hopes that original cast members (and their characters) are considered for regular roles in the new "Battlestar Galactica" pilot/ongoing series from Studios USA/Fox Network/Sci-Fi Channel in 2002. This is the Battlestar Galactica Original Revival Petition and currently has 17,400+ signatures. We still support this petition, so be sure to sign your name! The second petition is the Battlestar Galactica Richard Hatch Petition and respectfully requests that Richard Hatch make his trailer, "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" available to be shown on the Internet. Richard Hatch -IS- listening! If you agree with the petition, then sign the petition to make your voice heard. The third petition is the Battlestar Galactica We The Fans Petition and states that We the fans of the mighty Battlestar Galactica would like to see the combined work of Tom DeSanto and Glen Larson in a major motion picture. As fans we also hope and pray that these two men can bring about a possible continuation with both the characters and actors that made the show a worth while venture. We don't ask for much but hope for a show that will make those who passed proud (Lorne Greene, Lloyd Bridges, Jonathan Harris, and John Colicos). Finally we believe that actions can speak louder then the printed words and hope that both men will take this request to heart. The fourth petition is the Battlestar Galactica: The Continuation Petition and states that The word has been given at Galacticon. The fans want above all else a continuation of the beloved series with Richard Hatch (Apollo), Dirk Benedict (Starbuck), and as many of the other stars of the show who want to participate. I don't believe we are asking for to much as evidenced by the huge DVD sales for the original product. The fifth petition is the Battlestar Galactica Larson/DeSanto Petition for Mr. Glen A. Larson, Mr. Tom DeSanto, Mr. Bob Wright CEO of NBC, Universal Studios and states that We the fans have signed this petition to show support for a Continuation of Battlestar Galactica with the original themes/characters/cast intact, as was announced at Glen A. Larson and Tom DeSanto at Galacticon. We support a united Larson/DeSanto effort. This petition begins December 10th 2003, which is one day after the final installment of the Ronald D. Moore Psuedo-Galactica mini series which aired on the Sci Fi Channel, to show that even after it's airing, there is still support and interest in a faithful Continuation of the original Battlestar Galactica series. Make a difference, be sure to sign the five Battlestar Galactica Continuation Petitions, and help spread the word!

Audio Clips and Music

Fourth Week of July, 2004

Added the Battlestar Galactica Audio Continuation from T. Shawn Hardy, "The Return of a Hero", to the Audio Clips and Music section. Shawn describes the Audio Continuation as: "Twenty yahrens ago, Captain Apollo introduced the great Celestial Chamber to a few of his closest friends in the last episode that was titled 'The Hand of God'. Now, as the Commander, he is sitting high up in the same chair he once occupied. He reminisces back to that time and all that took place thereafter. Now twenty yahrens after The Hand of God, with one distress signal coming from a portal that has mysteriously opened up in space, Commander Apollo is forced to chose between losing his best friend and losing his only son. The Return of a Hero reunites the original cast along with new characters that are voiced by some of the original Battlestar Galactica fan base. With elements from the original Battlestar Galactica along with The Return of Starbuck and Richard Hatch's Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming, The Return of a Hero is a must for any Battlestar Galactica fan to hear." For the complete Audio Continuation, be sure to visit the following link in the Audio Clips and Music section at BattlestarGalacticaClub.com! Many thanks to T. Shawn Hardy as well as those that participated in the project.
