Live long and...vote for Hillary Clinton?

A bevy of "Star Trek" cast and crew members from multiple generations signed an open letter Thursday by the Facebook group "Trekkies Against Trump," blasting GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and arguing against a third-party "protest vote" in the November election...

Being a career bureaucrat in the Gatling administration probably was an influence.

No, Nana Visitor is not on the list, nor is her ex-husband Alexander Siddiq.

Seems Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) didn't sign...

She didn't have to.

She already gave us Obama.

If the Emperor Mudd signs, this could be serious ...

Glad to see both Nichelle Nichols and Shatner told the liberal scumbag Abrams to piss off

No Nichelle Nichols (Uhuru). Shatner is Canadian, No Marina Siritis (British). Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) announced against elsewhere.

Shatner has dual citizenship.

I’m not sure if Kiwi Karl Urban, who did sign the petition, does have dual citizenship.

Thanks for the name (7/9.) I always thought she was 38 of double-D.

This makes me very sad, that so many Star Trek alumni incl. the Roddenberry kids signed this manifesto. I will remember this when I plan my TV and film viewing. I certainly hope Mr. Shatner and Mr. Stewart stay out of this. BTW, I did NOT go to the cineplex to see the newest Star Trek film because even then, some of the actors and the director were talking politics. I will not reward them for shoving their politics in my face.

Their silence on the matter may not equate to "piss off"; we'll know soon enough with Shatner (he's likely to chime in via Facebook or Twitter if he feels left out).

I think Nichelle Nichols suffered a mild stroke last year and may still be recuperating from that.

Jeri Ryan didn't give us 0bama.

Her divorce records were unsealed AGAINST her will, and the will of her husband, by a progtard judge, in order to benefit the Zerobama Senate campaign.

Stewart may not have signed it, but he’s a UK Trade Unionist (hardcore Communist).

You won’t miss much. Faux Trek is garbage.

So?

Never stopped a Democrat from signing a petition before.

[Thanks for playing my straight man...]
