I'd say that it is a hoax and would delete it. Almost all email petitions are.

Yes, I did get that. Also the one about the movie Passions of Christ.
I did nothing with it. This is not a reflection on my relgious conviction, but I don't put a lot of stock in email chain letters.
I am not sure once the 1500 or 15,000 etc. signatures via the internet will bare any weight upon any decisions made.
Plus, is that really the reason why that show is no longer on?
I thought it was just ratings. I never watched that, so I don't know. What about the other show, Joan of Acradia? That seems to still be on.

Guess its just another E-rumor. Did a little more digging around and came up with a body.
Just more drama....this is only an e-rumor. You can check it out at truthorfiction.**om. Here is what they have to say about this particular piece of drama ... "This is a false eRumor and an interesting twist is that Madalyn Murray O'Hair has been out of the picture since she disappeared in August, 1995. In January, 2001, authorities in Texas found her remains in a shallow grave and the question then became what would happen to the Madalyn Murray O'Hair eRumors? We got our answer less than a month later when we started receiving versions of the rumors that began with, "THOUGH SHE'S DEAD AND HAS JUST BEEN LOCATED AFTER 5 YEARS, THIS LADY CONTINUES TO HAUNT US FROM HER SHALLOW GRAVE. - GET THIS:" So, it looks like the Madalyn Murray O'Hair eRumors will survive for a while."
Oh well thanks for the imput fellow reefers.

2. need a lot of attention
3. do they really have all of facts when starting these
