Why you should join: One thing I hate to hear most is people saying that fans can't do anything. In reality, WE are the ones who buy the game. WE are the ones who give Sega our cash. Think about it. The Sega Saturn was a total fing flop in America. It damaged them even into their Dreamcast days. That wasn't even an intentional flop and they got totally screwed. Imagine what could have happened if that thing was intentionally boycotted! Think about it. Sonic Riders, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic-Next are coming out. $50x2+$60 $160+. That's how much they could potentially lose for every fan who boycotts them. And that's not all. In a few months, when Sonic permanently enters the next gen world, the game prices will go up, and they may lose even more. Do you know why people say we can't do anything? For a few reasons. For one, they don't think we have it in us to do a real boycott. Second, and most important, they do want to try to help, but they don't think anyone else does, and this will just fall into the water, creating a domino effect. That is the biggest obsacle in a project like this. If everyone scraps the "Oh I'd like to help, but no one else will and it will be a lost cause", thought, this can be a very successful boycott. We are pulling all the stops here. We may even try to get in tune with the non internet Sonic community, with flyers and such. What if you want to help, but don't want to miss out on the new Sonic games? Think about it. Ryan Drummond, in many a fan's opinion, is the best and perfect Sonic voice actor. Before the Dreamcast days, Sonic kept changing his voice. These voices all had their own unique sound, and presented Sonic in different ways each time. It was almost like Sonic's character changed each time the voice changed. Finally when the Dreamcast days came along, Sega had finally settled on a voice actor. Ryan Drummond was their man, and he was the perfect choice. He then appeared again in Sonic Shuffle, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance 3, and even did some Mcdonald's promos. It was clear that no other voice actor anywhere could rightfully claim that they were the official Sonic voice... until one thing changed everything. 4Kids acquired Sonic X. Fast forward 2 1/2 years or so and you have Sega replacing Ryan and everyone else, just because 4Kids was too damn lazy to hire the game actors. Our peace of mind, that we would never have to get used to another Sonic voice again was broken. The actor that had grown on us and defined Sonic's character was leaving. Its not only the voice. Its the character he represents. He flawlessly portrayed Sonic's character in the perfect way. Now its almost like we have to get used to another character. So back on the topic. If you are too impatient to wait to buy the new Sonic games, I pity you. Would you rather buy them now and have it change the way you look at Sonic forever, or would you rather wait a little while to buy the new games, and get to see the same old Sonic you've gotten used to for almost 6 years? Think about that. I despise Sega for thinking this would make anything more consistant. If anything, this makes thing a whole lot less consistant! Ryan has been the only voice actor playing the part of Sonic for almost 6 years now! The 4Kids actors have been playing the Sonic roles for only 2 years, and this was only in Sonic X. So after reading all this, tell me. Are you willing to let the Sonic you've known and loved for 6 years turn into a totally different Sonic, or are you strong enough to help fight this wrongfully made descision and get our old voice actors back! This is not just an online petition. This is an alliance. The Save our Sonic Alliance. So if you want the old voice actors back, join. Don't be discouraged because you think no one else will join. If we all help out, we can make a difference.

Also this is a completely civil event. Thank you.
