Save Jorja Help CBS Pay her a resectful wage
It would seem that Sources in a article from at this Site that Ms. Fox has been unable to get a raise from the CSI franchise for 3 years. I think this is quite sad and think we should all help CBS and CSI pay the woman a wage that is respectable and in accordance with the talent and ratings she has delivered for this show. It is a real shame that for the final year CSI can't keep the stars together. Obviously the Denali puchase I made has made no difference so perhaps dollars will. In the next year I should maybe go for a Toyota.

One thing seems obvious. Don't get on the wrong side of Les Moonves when it comes to money. He's paying Jorja Fox back for having the nerve to ask for more money three years ago.
The guy is a loon.
Think about Brad Garrett of "Everybody Loves Raymond." He was all set to star on a spinoff CBS show after "Raymond", but that was scotched after he requested a raise. Now Garrett's on Fox.
Moonves has never been as generous to actors as ABC or NBC, and he tends to be kinder to the leads than he is to the supporting cast.

Jorja Fox is a talented actress who has helped create one o my most favorite tv characters ever. 25 million viewers turned in to learn about her characters fate, but our elation was quickly killed by Ausiello's blog!
CSI and Jorja Fox fans have decided to take matters into our own hands. If CBS is unable and unwilling to give Jorja Fox the raise she deserves, then her fans are more than willing to "Save Sara One Dollar at a Time."
CSI won't be the same without her, and we'll do anything to keep her!!!

They offered her a raise! She declined. So don't act like poor Jorja Fox so disrespected by them mean old producers. Could it be, that Jorja Fox may want to move on now? She doesn't seem to be upset about her time as Sara is coming to an end.
As for the poster who posted the link for the Dollars for Sara Campaign. Best case the money will be given to a charity. Worst case, pocketed by a postal worker or CBS employee not named Jorja. Either way it won't be enough to pay for a raise, and will probably never work its way to Jorja Herself. I know most will think its only a dollar, but there are some out there that have already said they were going to send multiples, and are deluded enough to think this particular campaign is going to make a difference

I am sorry to say that I disagree with you. I dislike the character of Sara Sidle and I dislike Jorja also. She has caused nothing but discord with the other actors and i believe she thinks shes a prima donna. I almost quit watching CSI when Sara and Gil hooked up. She'll break his heart when he discovers she was just sleeping with him to insure her job and perhaps to get a promotion. Its already started evidenced by the teaser that has Gil admitting to a 9 year relationship and Sara only a two year relationship. I think the show would gain in popularity if she were gone.

Why don't they all get paid the same? Jorja doesn't carry the show. And, well, sorry Jorja, but I've seen Marge in some A list movies. I love the show, but lose my passion for a good series when some people on the "team" suddenly think its all about them. It looks like there is going to be a very unfortunate accident in your future on CSI

Here's the deal: Jorja makes way less than other cast members, Peterson and Helgenberger especially. She is absolutely not getting paid the amount someone on one of the highest rated shows in the world should get. And to the person who is worried that all the money from the "Dollars for Sense Campaign" won't go to Jorja--it's not necessarily supposed to. It's more about support. That's why most people are only putting a single dollar in each letter. More letters=more support.

This is my opinion CBS and CSI are being very greedy they have made so much money off this franchise it is not even funny. They should have given them all raises without them even asking for it. Spread the wealth around. They have always treated Jorja Fox unfairly and she has to fight for everything over the year which is not right. If NBC could pay the whole cast of friend each a million dollars and episode why can’t CSI or CBS pay there cast there fair share. Jorja Fox is a wonderful actress and she plays one of my favorite TV characters on CSI please gives her what she deserves to get paid. CSI will not be the same without her.

Wow. I had no idea she was going to be leaving much less because she didn't get a raise. Hit the bricks lady. Remember how that red headed guy was on NYPD Blue and he thought he was the show? Left and the show kept running for several years. Heard he got another gig on a CSI spinoff....uh Miami, I think. I don't like the character Sara anyway. Now I don't like the actress. Not only are most of them overpaid but they think that because they are on tv that their opinions are more important that other peoples. Hey, it is just a job and there are plenty of other talented actors out there that would jump at the chance to replace her. I don't like blackmail or threats "to leave if I don't get more money". So leave and shut up.

I want you to know I am sick and tired of you Fox fans pushing your stupid little plan to keep Jorja on the rest of us. Do you really think what you all have planned will work? Well it won't, if anything the money will go to charity or be pocket by someone opening the mail, it won't get to Jorja. She was offered a raise and turned it down due to her greed, she does not deserve anymore money than George, Gary, or Eric, if they had to pay her more they would have to pay them more too. It's not going to happen, so pass this on to your stupid friends, she's leaving so stop living in denial and deal with it!!

I think CSI wouldn't be the same if they let Sarah go. I think they should give her an increase in wages as I think her character has made this show the hit that it is. I think her and Grissom would make a great couple and they would make great CSI offspring. A new generation to the CSI team. Sounds like a good idea.

Help Jorja Fox!? Are you crazy? She is lucky to be making her over $100,000 per episode! She doesn't deserve any more! She does not carry that show like her ego thinks she does. It would take most people, inculding myself, almost 10 years to make what she makes in ONE EPISODE! All I have to say is Jorja who? She and her egotistical attitude will not be missed.
