We call upon all of you around the world to support us by calling and keep calling your local television stations (This concert will not be televised in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Washington D.C area) requesting them to carry our live television satellite signal feed so you and your friends and family can see and enjoy this "once in a lifetime" spectacular music event of the century. Think about it this could be the Greek Woodstock concert just at the end of the millenium to help our children to survive cancer. Please give us the TV stations phone numbers so we could call them also and make them carry the satellite feed so the whole hellenismos would participate.
