for the Film-Petition

King Richard Armitage

Your support made this possible!

Not everything in life is about numbers, but everything is about quality.

And so I especially want to thank you for the high quality of discussions, feedback and your ongoing and encouraging support !

Thank You !

It would not be me, if I would not take this opportunity to give the about 200 signers who did not confirm their signature via the confirmation e-mail a further chance to do so.
So please watch out for confirmation mails, if you did not confirm already.

You will have recognized the little break in posts and news-updates.
Work intervened and prevented faster updates and better feedback to your request.
If you are waiting for mails or feedback, please keep patient and give me a bit more time to answer.
Right now, I am working hard to get through to see the surface of my desk again. As there is a picture of Richard Armitage there, it is really a pity to be completely covered up with work.
