Good evening to my fellow friends and supporters all over the world, 

I first would like to begin my letter with these two simple words to you all, they are from my heart, and they speak strong: Merry Christmas! I hope that your Christmas sincerely was true to form and that you and the families who got together had got together with hope in your heart and in safety by all ways because of the ongoing Covid-19 and omicron variant threats that are still going on. 

As I write this tonight, I cannot thank you enough first of all for the AMAZING growth in the petition, because of you, we are close to be at 6,200 signatures for the first time since this petition began, more than 11 years ago! I cannot believe it myself and I cannot say enough how much I praise you all. But as I write this tonight also, I think about another group of people who are having a very trying time with Christmas and the holiday season, and those are the families of the loved ones whose lives were lost by bullying and bully-cide. I think about the families of Tyler Clementi, Phoebe Prince, Jamey Rodemeyer and so on and so, so many names that are engraved in my heart and soul sincerely. I think about them truly and pray for their families today on this Christmas Day eve. 

The story of Christmas, as most of us know it in the ancient scriptures of the Bible in the catholic faith talks about that miraculous night in a city called Bethlehem, Joseph and his wife gave birth to a precious child who would change the course of human history by giving his life with the greatest gift of all-love. And as a result, we are taught to pray for those who persecute against us and to love those who do not love us. 

This holiday, I am calling upon you, one and all, to help bring the greatest and most sincere gift of all, the gift of love and justice for those who still feel they do not have a voice in the world because they are bullied because of the preference of gender, etc. I encourage you to still spread the message of this petition to each and every person who have not yet heard about out campaign. We must never forget what happened that night and be as precious as the child that was born, who was destined to teach us that most precious gift. BE THAT LIGHT my friends and share this petition with those who must know what is going on. 

Let us bring forth that gift to families of those who have youth who are still suffering the effects of bullying and give them the light of justice, grace, compassion and more, by making sure that bullying and bully-cide is punishable and deemed a hate crime with the strictest of laws worldwide and especially in America. WE CANNOT ALLOW 2022 to be another year of darkness and more. LET'S GIVE OUR YOUTH THE GREATEST PRESENT OF ALL....JUSTICE!

Have the merriest of Christmas and a happy and dynamically hope-filled 2022!

Very sincerely yours, 

Christopher C. Gagliardi
