(English) The Freaking Big September/October Push
Welcome to the Resistance. Today, we fight back.
The Freaking Big Push is a massive campaign directed at Warner Brothers to demonstrate our love for the show and convince the WB to bring it back. According to a loyal, anonymous source, there is talk of a DVD movie. It’s our objective to convince the WB to make sure this happens. The campaign is broken down into various missions which will each launch on a specific date throughout the month. We can’t stress enough how important it is that everyone do these things on the same day. The only way to make a real impact is with strong numbers, pushing each avenue together on a daily basis, together.
Check out the calendar for the dates and scroll down for summaries of each mission.

Note Regarding Weekends: We’re going to change things up for the Push and make viewing parties back to back on the weekends; that’s one viewing party each day for the weekend. See calendar for viewing schedule.

Craigslist Day!
We all know what Craigslist is (and if you don’t, go here to find out.) People in cities all around the world use it every day to post and view classifieds, personal ads and more. Make today The Sarah Connor Chronicles Day at Craigslist and spread the word. Post personal ads for your favourite characters, offer your cyborg termination services, put artifacts from the future on sale…whatever you can think of! Just be sure to make it clear that each post is an ad for T:SCC and won’t be mistaken for a legitimate offer.
Check out our examples for how to do it!

“Taking The Streetsâ€
It’s just what it sounds like. We’re taking the streets for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, in more ways than one. Take pictures of everything you do and upload them to our Flickr group so we can see what’s going on around the world!
Dates: Begins September 14th
Tearaway Flyers
You’ve probably seen these all over the place, for all sorts of things, from piano lessons to babysitters to job postings. Those flyers with the little strips you tear off at the bottom with the poster’s information? Now think Sarah Connor. As part of our efforts to promote the Season 2 DVD/Blu-Ray Release and the related savethescc.com Giveaway, we’re providing you with kickass flyers designed to promote our cause and catch attention. Tape them around streetlights, tack them to bulletin boards, put them anywhere you can think of.
Mini-Flyers and Bookmarks
Same idea. Print ‘em off, and put them everywhere. In front of pancake mix at your local grocery store, in the pages of every single novel in the Science Fiction section of your bookstore or library, leave stacks at checkout counters, in retail stores, anywhere and everywhere. Get the word OUT there: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is freakin’ big and we aren’t going away.
You guys are probably all very familiar with this one, since we’ve been doing it for months, but don’t forget to sticker it up! They’re bright, they’re easy and they’re cheap, so stock up and get ready to stick, stick, stick.
Order them here.
Special Date: September 21st
Twitter Day!
This one is SUPER easy. Just get on twitter.com – or whatever Twitter widget or software you use – and add #savesarah to all of your tweets. Let’s get T:SCC trending on Twitter! If you don’t have a twitter account but want to participate, just sign up! It’s a free service.
Try to start SCC conversations on twitter and respond to them, always adding #savesarah to all your tweets. Warning: Please only use the hashtag ONCE per tweet. If it is used multiple times Twitter considers it spam and will ban it.
Post your favourite tweets here.
Date: September 7th
Press Kits!
It’s important to let the media know about what we’re doing and how we’re not giving up in our battle to save The Sarah Connor Chronicles. We’ll be sending out press kits and press releases to major media sources on behalf of the site, but you can help out too! Just download our pre-written press release, personalize it a bit, and then send it off to your local media!
Who are YOU sending them to? Tell us here.
Date: September 15th
Letter Writing Day!
This one shouldn’t be too hard, since we’ve all been doing it for months now. Just take a sheet of paper, and write a letter to the WB, explaining why you think the show deserves to live on. Pop it in an envelope, stick a stamp on it, and drop it in the mailbox. See? Simple. If you need help, we have a sample letter here that you can use to jump start you.
Send one, ten, a hundred…whatever you’re up to. Let’s flood that WB mailroom!
Wrote an awesome letter? Share it with everyone here.

Date: September 8th
Postcard Day!
Even simpler. Just print out one of our pre-made postcards – or make your own if you’re so inclined – write a message supporting the show on the back, stick a stamp on and drop it in the mailbox. Or, if you want to make it even easier, use an online mailing service like Click2Mail or Premium Postcard, where all you have to do it upload the postcard image you want, provide addresses, and they’ll handle the printing and mailing for you. It’s fairly cheap and an easy way to participate.

Take Out Those Classifieds!
This one works very much like the Craigslist campaign, except instead of posting online, take out a small classifieds ad in your local paper. We’ve provided condensed examples to save space (and money!) for you to use. When the ad prints, cut out that page, highlight your ad, and mail it in to The WB!
Share your classifieds ads here.
Date: September 10th
thewb.com Feedback Day!
Today is the Day to let thewb.com know what we think. That we want our show back. That we want Season 2 episodes online. That having to use a IP blocker to access the site is a pain. Don’t tell us. Tell them.
Give your feedback here. And then share your message with your fellow fans!
Date: September 17th
Mobile Billboard Goes Live!
You’ve all been waiting for it and now it’s finally hitting the streets of Los Angeles. We’re going to do our best to post pictures and video of it so you can all see what you, the fans, have accomplished. The SEASON TWO DVD AND BLU-RAY also launch during the mobile billboard run. Mark your calendars (or just take a look at the one up there, since we’ve marked it for you) and get ready…we’re going to be pushing the Season Two DVD/Blu-Rays hard that day!
Date: September 21 – 23
Warner Bros. Feedback Day!
Time to let the WB know what you think of your completely awesome Season Two DVDs and Blu-Rays. And that as amazing as they are…we want more!
Do it here. And then share your message with your fellow fans!
Date: September 23rd
“Is Sarah Connor There?â€
It’s simple. Call The WB (818.954.6000) and ask for Sarah Connor. Call as many times as you want, even change it up by asking for John Connor or Cameron Phillips or whoever your favourite character is. With enough people calling, The WB should get the hint, because really…where is Sarah Connor?
Date: September 24th
Email Day!
Email fast and email hard. Hit up the WB (and any networks of your choosing) with emails expressing your support for the continuation of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Date: September 25th
Give Back for Sarah Connor
Sarah Connor gave up everything when she met Kyle Reese, for the sake of her son and the future of humanity. Now it’s your turn to give up a little something for Sarah Connor. Donate to the American Cancer Society in the name of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. A little or a lot, every bit helps in making a difference and enacting change. If you’re really motivated, get a bunch of friends or fellow fans together and register as a T:SCC team at the next charity marathon or run in your area. Get creative. Saving The Sarah Connor Chronicles doesn’t mean we can’t help make a difference elsewhere too.
We’ve set up a team with the American Cancer Society to make it easier for you. Donate here.

Date: September 28th
Global Resistance Rally!
This one is similar to the Twitter day, but we use WB and SYFY forums for our posts instead and start at the same time for all Resistance Fighters all over the world. When the Rally starts, just go to the web pages given and write as many posts as you can. Tell them, why you love the show so much, post your favourite TSCC quotes, pics and arts, demand the continuation of the story. Let’s make the Terminator: TSCC topics the most active topics on their forums!
The Rally is held on Sunday 1 PM Eastern Time.
