We need your help! Paralympics Letter Writing Campaign

[Guest guest]

On September 7, the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing will begin.

There are hundreds of athletes competing in different events from

countries around the globe. Like the Olympians, the Paralympians

have trained for years. This is their chance to see their dreams

come true. It is also our chance to watch fellow members of the

disabled community as they realize their dreams.

Unlike the Olympics, however, there is currently not any United

States Television coverage planned for the Paralympic Games. In

Australia, over 100 hours of the Paralympic Games will be covered on

ABC1 and ABC2 (Australian Broadcast Company)

We would like to ask the members of this group to please write

letters to the different US television networks, asking them to

provide at least a few hours of Paralympic television coverage.

Below is the contact information for different television networks.

We would also like to ask you to please pass this message along to

any and all groups, whether disability-oriented or not, that might

be interested in participating in this letter writing campaign.

Thank you for your participation. If enough of us speak up, our

voices may be heard. This is our chance to cheer on fellow members

of our community. Let's not let it pass us by!

Thank you

Nikki
