Even with much of the town now on vacation, the feverish battle over the SAG strike authorization vote will continue through the holidays.

Over the weekend, opponents added John and Ann Cusack, Jeff Garlin, George Lopez, Virginia Madsen, Susan Sarandon and Charlie Sheen to the roster of stars urging a no vote. As of Sunday afternoon, 1,373 members had endorsed the No SAG Strike petition, written three weeks ago by Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.

Ballots go out to SAG’s 110,000 dues-current members on Jan. 2 and will be tallied Jan. 23. If the authorization’s affirmed by 75 percent of those voting, SAG could then go on strike if its national board — set to meet Jan. 24 — approves. SAG has attracted public support for the authorization via a solidarity statement on its website from 2,300 members including Laura Dern, Mel Gibson, Hal Holbrook, Holly Hunter, Matthew Madine, Sandra Oh and Charlie Sheen’s father, Martin Sheen.
