AVAAZ petition for the Parthenon Marbles to be reunited in Athens – Help us get 1000 signatures
Two weeks ago, I posted a poll on the AVAAZ website, calling for a a commitment to be made by the start of the 2012 Olympics for the Parthenon Marbles to be reunified in Athens.
Thank you to those of you who have added your names so far. Already, we have had 318 signatures, but we need more – the aim is to get at least 1000, but the more support that we can show, the stronger our case will appear when the results of the petition are handed to those who are in a position to make a decision on this issue (i.e. the British Government & the British Museum).
So – if you have not yet signed the petition, then please go to the AVAAZ website & add your name to the list.
If you have already signed, then remember to post about the petition on Facebook and / or Twitter, to let as many of your friends know as possible. Email your friends too, if you think they support the campaign & ask them to forward it on to their friends too.
You can read the original information that I posted about the petition & the reasons behind it here.
The actual petition itself is on the AVAAZ website – you can visit the page here to sign it.
