Good evening and a blessed and enlightened Christmas to all of you: I write this tonight with a heart full of prayer and full of humbleness, This year has been a year full of unprecedented transition not just in my life, but the lives of so many people in NYC and across america. Dynamic world events also have caused us to step back and totally reflect on what we have and what we should take to heart what we have been given this year. 2014 was in my opinion: "The year of the people" in which people stood up and took action on issues that affect us all, whenever a injustice was done to someone, people stood up and are calling for a correction and action to be done. We have made major strides in science when it came to the world of medicine. We even witnessed history with a youth winning the Nobel Peace Prize for the first time in the history of planet earth. But we still face great challenges in the new year, which I am still battling on a scale so huge. Bullying and bullycide against our youth has grown to unprecedented tragic scales that we cannot avert our eyes as far as reading out it, hearing about it, or more. And now more than ever, the cries of our youth grow louder, and louder, and more louder, begging our leaders to make a law to protect our youth from bullying and making bullycide a hate crime. I was so fortunate this year to have my story published in a book which I deeply recommend to all of you to read called: Rae of Hope: Stories from Survivors And it has received very high praise. The petition has gotten 1,324 signatures and I encourage all of you to sincerely tell others to come and sign this petition, my goal is to get before the next year 2016 ONE BILLION SIGNATURES and I cannot do this campaign alone. That would be one of my biggest Christmas wishes to see come true. As i stated earlier: Every single life sincerely matters to me!!!! It is my hope that 2015 will continue to see great changes positively as the youth of our country and our planet step up and fight for change not just in our country, but in the world we live in. I sincerely hope that you and your families will not just have a blessed Christmas, but a prosperous new year. A year of triumphant new breakthroughs and a new age of happiness and HOPE! With love, Christopher C. Gagliardi Petition Creator Give the Youth The Rights For Justice Against Bullies
