Save the Star Trek Cast was a fan-organization run by Carole Brownell out of Texas. It's purpose was to influence TPTB about the yet-to-be filmed Star Trek movie and the decision to bring back the entire original cast from the television show.
"We are afraid that if Paramount brings back the show without the original cast, the show will fail, and we will lose it forever. Help us to show that Star Trek is not just an adventure about a spaceship, but that the crew of the Enterprise and the actors who made them live are an inseparable part of the magic that is Star Trek." [1]
The STSTC's main activities included running a series of polls in A Piece of the Action, sending those results to Gene Roddenberry and Paramount, and in encouraging and instructing fans how to do a letter campaign.
One example of a poll is the 1974 Star Trek Movie Cast Poll.
