4:06PM - CSI fans campaign to keep Jorja Fox...

A user known as Committed wrote Oct. 8: "I'm shamelessly getting two of my kids involved in this campaign. . . . My 5-year-old picked up a cell phone and pretended to make a call; she said, 'Hello, I don't want Sara to go.' . . . Should I worry that I'm dragging my young children down into my obsession?"

"You become wrapped up in the characters . . . (and) it wouldn't be the same if you couldn't talk about it," said Andrea Dawkins, a 25-year-old computer programmer who helped Pierce build the Web site from her Raleigh, N.C., home. "Pretty much everyone knows Jorja Fox is leaving the show. But it makes people feel better that they're speaking out . . . letting CBS know this isn't going by unnoticed."
