I hate sport

This is opposing the reallocation of resources to the Olympics of which the
35% reduction of grants for the arts is a part. To submit your name to this

It has already passed the minimum requirement of 200 signatures to get an
official response from Number 10 when the petition closes on 16 September
2007. If it gets to 40,000 signatures it would make it into the top 5 most
popular petitions on the site! Currently, the petition in the number 4 spot
is 'Continue funding for the Royal Air Force Aerobatics Team'. Surely in
the
arts world we are able to gather a similar if, not larger number, of
supporters.

Very popular petitions seem to generate responses from the Prime Minister
prior to the petition closing, so this really is a great way to draw the
attention to our widespread concern and opposition to the proposed 35%
reduction in Grants for the Arts funding.

Do forward this email on to colleagues, friends, and collaborators
encouraging them to add their name to the petition.

And do please sign the petition. You must be a
UK citizen, UK resident, ex-patriate or serving
in HM Forces abroad to sign.There are currently 5,739 signatures.
