<DIV><BR>Hello there<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am just contacting you with regards to a petition that
concerns dancers in the UK</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Traditional folklore dances in England since as far back as 1700s have been
known to use props such as sticks and sword as part of their dances. Currently,
the government does not recognize dance as either a Historical re-enactment
or sporting activity and therefore dancers are not included within the
exemption for the purchase & use of swords with regards to
the VCR (Vilolent Crime reduction) bill. These dances are forms of art that are
of great historical & cultural relevance, Banning the use of these
swords will inevitably cause them to die out. It is crucial that they are
preserved & allowed to continue. I have written a petition which is up on
the home office website<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please show your support and sign my petition to get dance included
so that we can continue preserving the beautiful art of sword
dance.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Whether you are a dancer or not, we need your support!<BR></DIV>
<DIV>We desperately need more signatures!<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here is the link:</DIV>

FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!<BR></DIV>
