sign petition for women's ski jumping in 2010

As you probably know the challenge to get women's ski jumping into the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games has been an uphill battle. There has been much publicity as of late in Canada, since a suit was filed with the Human Rights Commission stating the inequity in not allowing women the opportunity to jump in the 2010 Olympic Games. If you are interested in reading more with regard to these articles, go to google, type in Women's Ski Jumping and click on the "NEWS" link.

I am sending this email to you to let you know a petition has been started with the hope of getting the signature of at least 10,000 people. Please take a moment to log onto
www.wsj2010.com, read the facts, and sign the petition if you are in support of seeing these athletes ski jump in the 2010 Olympic Games.

One last thing. If you would please forward this email to people in your address book.

Yes it is, I am now a former ski jumper from steamboat. I'm trying to recall who Scott G is now? I'm off in Durango pursuing other forms of play... primarily rafting... and very little skiing.

That makes sense now. Hell yeah, I've turned into a raft bum. I can't paddle because of my bad shoulder, but I'm loving rowing right now. How's everything? Thanks for catching me... good to hear from you!

Sign the petition. I am good friends with a ski jumper who this directly effects. She currently holds the hill record in Vancouver and is an awesome chick who deserves the notice.
