My Dearest Friends, 1,412 AND COUNTING..... That is the amount of signatures that I have received in the past 5 years with my petition to end the vicious and devastating nightmare that is affecting our youth across the country and around the world, the catastrophic nightmare of bullying and bullycide. For this reason, I cannot thank you enough for all the tireless support you have shown me in the 5 years since this petition began, but it is I who THANK YOU for being the voices so far in this mission. Now, more than ever we have a lot of work to do, and it is UP TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US to stand up and fight! As i stated in my previous letter last time, As you know, 2O16 is a year that will be very significant and very important, not only because it is the 240th anniversary of our nation’s independence, but this is a year in which the future of our country, the planet we live upon, and the future of our youth. And so, today, in one of the most important letters in history, I announce one of the largest historic campaigns in history, before I give you the name of it, I want to explain why NOW is the time to stand up and fight harder and more SERIOUS than ever before in history: First, many youth will be heading to school in September of this year again after summer recess and they will be absolutely enduring now more than ever before even more aggressive and even more frightening tactics the bullies will do to intimidate, harass, even cause serious harm physically and emotionally to our youth when they bully because of the religion they practice, the gender they prefer, etc. Every time I hear about something like this, I get very mad and I wonder: “When are our leaders going to do something about this?!” And sadly, the answer is…they have NOT. All they care about is being re-elected and ignoring the facts and the issues that are out there for them to see. I think our leaders ABSOLUTELY NEED TO KNOW that our youth out there are suffering and are NOT going to school because of this great tragedy that is playing out in our country and planet. And so, it is in this background, that I take this time today to announce the largest, unprecedented and most critical campaign in the history of humanity, it is called: "2016: The year of the Dynamic Heart of courage!" I chose this campaign theme because if we take the time to have a total Dynamic Heart of Courage to stand up for our youth not just here in America but the world and to tell our leaders: "Bullying isn't just a fad or a thing the youth can grow out of, it will be with them for the rest of their lives and it is a violation of human, civil and universal rights, the time to act upon this crisis is here and now, do not wait!" I am asking from the depths of my heart and my soul for your support and help in any way and any shape you can to spread the word about this petition to your friends, your family, the media, and through any means necessary to say: "This is a urgent matter, our youth's future and their lives are at stake, and this young man, born with a challenge called Infantile Autism, who is also a survivor of Bullying is fighting very hard all by himself to get the leaders in congress, senate, and everywhere to stand up for our youth NOW, this is something we cannot ignore anymore!" My friends, I cannot over and over again stress this enough from my heart and from my soul, WE HAVE ABSOLUTE SERIOUS WORK TO DO! We have to stand up and make our voices so strong and loud, the leaders in congress and yes, even the next president will HAVE TO HEAR us. NOW IS OUR TIME, the fierce urgency of now has come upon us and we need to form our ranks and be strong leaders in our community against this horrifying nightmare. From the bottom of my heart in advance, I thank you very much for your attention, and for your total, sincere, heartfelt, Dynamic help and your determination to see that we all win this year, the year of a Dynamic Heart of Courage! Very sincerely yours, Christopher C. Gagliardi Petition Creator, Give the Youth The Rights For Justice Against Bullies!
