Hello All, :)
We are a group of Michael Jackson fans who for over two years have been working on a project which is to get Michael Jackson nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. We have sent letters to highly ranked people such as Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan and the United Nations. The letters contained a formal request asking them if they would consider nominating Michael Jackson for the Nobel Peace Prize, and of course, we provided information as to why we thought he deserved to be nominated. We mentioned Michael's charity work and humanitarian efforts, and asked them if they were interested in nominating Mr. Jackson for a life time achievement as a great humanitarian.
Unfortunately we haven't succeeded in getting Michael nominated so far, but Kofi Annan and the United Nations have been kind enough to send a very nice and encouraging reply back. This year we're trying a little harder. We're now in the researching phase of the project. We will use last years letters as a template for the new letter and add new information. This time we've decided to put up a petition, which means we will also include your signatures along with any comments you wish to make. Please show your support by signing this petition to ensure Michael Jackson receives the recognition he deserves and is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. We have so far received over 1400 signatures, and recently we decided to put up a new petition as the old one was hijacked more and more by spam. So that is why I'm reposting this in case anyone of you have heard about this project before. And just for the record -- if you already have signed the old petition, do not worry, your signature and comment will still be included. Every one of them has been collected and kept safe.
While reading all of the messages that have been posted along with the signatures, we've also decided that all of them will be forwarded to Mr. Michael Jackson himself. And before you say anything; yes, I can assure you they will be delivered to him.
Note: We would like this letter to be taken seriously, so it is very important that you sign your real name and the country you reside in. Thank you for your support. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/mjfornobelpeaceprize
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. We'll be happy to answer them. :)
