Hi and thank you for this reminder ! By the way, would you like to write a kind of "summary" of what fans have done since one year (1st anniversary of the cancellation today) to save the show... I will be very pleased to publish it in savethe4400.blogspot.com !

Hey Pablo this is what I have so far. If I missed anything let me know?
Today's Dec. 18, 2008. One year ago today we received
the official word from Scott Peters that "The 4400" had
been canceled.
Then several of us on the board started posting about
starting a campaign to get USA to renew for a 5th
season. We really needed closure. Ideas were kick
around and sending sunflower seeds and letters really
appealled to everyone due to the success of the Jericho
Nuts Campaign. Our original plan I believe was for
January 2nd, 2008 but many considered it to soon to set
everything in place so the official date was set as
Febuary 2nd, 2008. I contacted some bulk seed seller to
ask if they would help us in our campaign, including
NutOnline, who helped the Jericho campaign. They
couldn't help because they were still recovering from
that. Then I stumbled across Giant Seed headquartered
in Minnesota. You see we wanted a way international
fans could participate and miracle of miracles Tom
Schuler of Giant agree to help. He originally thought
we were loonies but something moved him to help. I
think close to 2000 bags of seeds were sent.
Also thanks to Tom Schuler, Dave Kolpack of Associated
Press did an article on our Campaign in which 4400
Board Members Sandy Williams, 60, of Dardanelle, Ark,
Dee Henke, 57, of Santa Cruz, Calif. and me, June
Terrell,45, of Memphis, Tenn. were interviewed. The
Article, `4400' fans hope to save show with seeds,
posted on Feb. 1st.
On Feb. 12th, 2008 another article, Taste this:
Campaigning to save '4400'
Fans of the axed USA show send in sunflower seeds by
Lisa Snedeker of Media Life came out in which I was
also interviewed. My biggest fear was let me sound
reasonably sane. I wanted people to see us as your
everyday person not a bunch of crazies. There were several more
articles about our campaign also.
We made several more seed/letter mailings and I'm sure
there are still some going on.
We didn't seem to be getting anywhere with Bonnie
Hammer of USA Network so focus was shifted to Jeff
Zucker.
The next big creative effort came from Pablo with his
"Marked" Operation launched 08.08.08.
On June 15th, 2008 while corresponding with Greg Cox,
author of "The Vesuvius Prophecy", I found out that 2
of the 4 books slated to be 4400 tie-in books were
change to be Season 5 books, tentatively titled,
"Promise City" and "Promises Broken", due to the
cancellation. Suffice it to say I wasted no time posting
it for all to see. My personal cause lately is to
convince all the 4400 fans to buy these books. You can
find information about these books in my post pinned at
the top of 4400 forum board. So everyone stay tuned.
