[Fmpro] California Dreamin

Building on what you wrote,

1.  It should enlist the A list guys.  Without their support it'd be  
doomed before leaving the starting gate.
2.  It should have PR with good contacts to spread the word about our  
issues, much as WGA and SAG do.
3.  It should try to enlist the cooperation of the big studios to  
give them incentives to use union people.
