Anthem was composed by Tolga Kashif to welcome the Olympic flame to Essex. Sang by 2000 voices from local choirs the event demonstrated the community spirit that the Olympics represents. Arguably the most impressive welcome for the flame, we believe that this performance would enhance the Olympic Opening Ceremony and should be considered to become a part of it.
The Olympic Committee is ignoring the talent of these two thousand voices because they think we will just go away. We need to hit this milestone right now to prove that our demand for Kashif's Anthem cannot be brushed aside. Get this link to everyone you know before the organizers decide the lineup without us.

The Olympic Committee is still ignoring our outreach while they waste time on corporate nonsense. We need to keep pushing because the people behind these decisions thrive on our silence. This anthem belongs on that stage and we will not let them bury it.

The Olympic organizers are ignoring the brilliance of Kashif's anthem while they settle for mediocrity. Drive this petition to 100 signatures right now so they are forced to acknowledge the community spirit they are currently insulting. Post this link on your social media feeds immediately to get us over the hump.

Absolutely beautiful piece of music. It would be a crime not to include it in the ceremony. Put it in!
