Save Star Trek Campaign

To:  Sumner Redstone, CEO of Viacom, Sherry Lansing, CEO of Paramount

TO: SUMNER REDSTONE (CEO OF VIACOM) & SHERRY LANSING (CEO OF PARAMOUNT)

We, the undersigned, do hereby issue this petition as a formal request to take immediate action with regards to the Star Trek franchise.

The Star Trek franchise has been a profitable asset of both Viacom and Paramount. Recent facts reveal the current failing trend in this once great legacy. After reviewing all possible sources, the only logical conclusion is that the legacy of Star Trek and its creator, Gene Roddenberry, is failing due to its current leadership.

What was once a billion dollar industry in Star Trek is now a waning interest field which the fan base may no longer wish to support because of the apparent direction (or lack of) of the franchise under its current leadership of Rick Berman and Brannon Braga.

As the collective fan base who has supported Viacom and Paramount over the many years through their stewardship of the Star Trek franchise, and who wish to continue our support of both entities, we do hereby make the following demands:

1) Remove the current leadership of the franchise from their
positions, including Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, and their entire
staff. We are not asking that these individuals have their
employment terminated from the company, merely that they are
removed from control of the Star Trek franchise.

2) Place a Board of Star Trek Trustees in their place: a group of 5
individuals who can properly run the franchise in accordance with
the ideals and vision of its creator, Gene Roddenberry. The
identity of these 5 individuals will be determined at a later
date and will be subject to the approval of both entities.

If the above stated demands are not met, the fan base will continue to grow unhappy with the productions of the Star Trek franchise, and could begin tuning it out. Products created and marketed by both Paramount and Viacom could be devalued, and millions of people could discontinue their support of both entities.

If the above stated demands are met, the Star Trek franchise will live on, and continue to make the entities of Viacom and Paramount money while at the same time keeping millions of fans happy.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
