Hey Stargate fans! I will be taking part in the Tweet storm tomorrow (Tuesday 6/16) at 10:30am PT/ 1:30pm ET) #SaveStargate
I signed the petition! https://t.co/H0FLx4m9Nl
Thanks @rachel_luttrell for the shoutout and alert. I will be here for it! 👍🏼
🚨Texas should be leading the fight against dystopian and tyrannical Digital IDs!
I'm announcing plans to file legislation to REPEAL SB2420, which moves Texas closer to UK-style online surveillance and CCP social credit scores...
And I'm asking Gov @GregAbbott_TX for an immediate special session to pass it, along with other conservative priorities that failed this year.
FULL LETTER BELOW:
Governor Abbott,
Since the 89th session, including the special sessions, was a liberal trainwreck, I sent you a letter dated September 4, 2025 asking you to call the legislature back for a special session for the following purposes:
1)Put Texas on a path to eliminate property taxes, cut taxes significantly and immediately, and make all property tax hikes illegal unless approved by the voters
2)Stop all taxpayer funding of DEI, LGBTQ indoctrination, and liberal Hollywood
3)Ban all taxpayer funded lobbying
4)End corporate welfare
5)Repeal all excessive spending increases from the previous bloated budget
I have not heard back from your office, so I am resending it in the event that the original letter did not make it to your desk.
Also, I am now requesting you add an additional item: LEGISLATION TO REPEAL SB 2420.
Texas should be leading the fight against digital IDs, UK-style online surveillance, and CCP inspired social credit scores. Yet, indefensibly, even as conservative leaders like Donald Trump Jr. and others warned against this specific bill, which takes Texas closer to all these dystopian and tyrannical policies, it was passed by the House and Senate, and you did not veto it.
I will be filing legislation to repeal it as soon as we are back in session, but, unless you call us back, we will not be in session again for a full year after this privacy destroying law goes into effect.
While proponents of this bill say it is only about “protecting children” from obscenity, that is simply not true. Texas already has laws on the book to address that issue, and this bill has no limitations restricting its applicability only to minors or to adult content. Instead, all Texas adults will be subjected to this big government, nanny state legislation.
SB 2420 grows government, takes options away from parents, and opens the door to surveillance, data abuse, and censorship.
Apparently Texas leaders need a reminder that there is no limit to the amount of tyranny that can be justified in the name of “protecting the children,” and that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I missed the tweet storm but I haven’t missed the fight.
This fandom has never stopped showing up. Your passion, your creativity and your refusal to let Stargate fade quietly into the gate room archives is something special.
So let’s keep going.
Post the photos. Tell the stories. Share the memories. Make some noise.
I’ll be doing my part and getting a little extra loud this week.
I’m with you.

A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN at Amazon and why they are their treating STARGATE fans with apathy... #SaveStargate
Nick Cage recently did a Spider-Noir interview where he talked about what he had to go through to get his streaming show green lit be Jen Salke stepped down as head of Amazon MGM studios. He and a bunch of Amazon decision makers went to dinner at her house, and he had to overwhelmingly convince her that younger audiences would watch.
He wanted to do it in Black and White, but offered color as an option as well so the kids could watch it in color then come over to Black and white. I mean. How many multi verse Spiderman fans are there... yes, mostly an older audience. Even Nick Cage had to get on his knees at the alter of the "younger audience."
Star Trek (Paramount), Star Wars (Disney) Stargate (Amazon) ALL TOTALLY OBSESSED with younger audience retention even as a Cash Loss Falicy... meaning they don't care if they lose money if it means in 5 to 10 years they have captured the next generation.
BUT WHY?
Because Netflix and Apple are kicking their asses. Sure Amazon has a ton of money, but they don't have Netflix eyeballs. Netflix dominates 15 to 35 ages. And have you wondered why APPLE doesn't seem to care. They just keep making great television that the older PAYING audiences are drawn to? Because they already OWN the youth through iPhones, and they aren't worried about the future. They can afford to wait for younger audiences who will never leave their devices and Apple IDs to catch up with great streaming.
Amazon and other studios hell bent on chasing the youth at the expense of current paying audiences will lose. See Paramount and Disney for references. The paying fans are here and now @AmazonMGMStudio and we want Stargate with Martin Gero. Make the right decision. Don't sacrifice the now for the future when you can let us lead the youth to you!
Throughout my career, I've been dismayed by the contempt some genre executives have held for fans, routinely underestimating their power to make or break a show. I've watched this repeat too many times, across too many shows, to be talking about any single one of them. Yet despite the mounting evidence over the past few years, they continue to dismiss the data, repeating the same miscalculations time and again.
But technology has rewritten the rules, and the power dynamics are shifting. Today’s fans are organized, strategic, and highly data-literate - effectively turning the platforms' own metrics against them.
As the bets get bigger and the audience grows sharper, it will be fascinating to see how this plays out.

Meet Demario Boone, a school resource officer and Director of School Safety at Peoria Public Schools (PSD150) in Illinois. He went on an unhinged race-based rant online DEFENDING Karmelo Anthony after he was found GUILTY of murdering Austin Metcalf.
This man is in charge of the safety of your children. He is paid with YOUR tax dollars.

I would not watch this at all. We've all been down this road with Star Trek and Star Wars.
Stargate was the last refuge for sci-fi fans of those now dead franchises.
Only @martingero's Stargate will do.
#SaveStargate
A hard reboot will only anger and alienate a fanbase that has been built up over the best part of the last 30 years. It won't create a new one overnight, either!
Just please give us Martin Gero's Stargate @AmazonMGMStudio#SaveStargate
100% this! @AmazonMGMStudio I’ve got several friends that love Star Gate and are even now doing an SG1 rewatch that aren’t on X, but let me know how depressed they were at the cancellation. They want to #SaveStargate as much as I do.
Another thing for @AmazonMGMStudio to consider is how many Stargate fans are NOT saying anything right now. I have 3 brothers, 1 sister, their spouses, 2 parents, and several nieces and nephews that are all huge fans of Stargate.
None of them are on X!
We made #SaveStargate trend globally on X and this is only a fraction of us!
Please bring back Martin Gero’s vision of Stargate!
READ THE ROOM @PrimeVideo ... It's not too late to change your mind PETER FRIEDLANDER and @AmazonMGMStudio - You made a mistake, but you can fix it! Let's Gooooo! #SaveStargate
