Do Something for Windsurfing in Rio 2016 Olympics
Annul the May ISAF Council Vote against Windsurfing. Do not let US Sailing and their 3 votes in May for kiting off the hook! Do not let the 16 other ISAF Council voters against windsurfing off the hook. US Sailing is having AGM meeting next week to discuss the issue. Please do something now, prior to ISAF Annual Meeting 1-11 November 2012 to support windsurfing, even if one design course windsurfing is not for you.
Why?

How?
Let US Sailing know how you feel about voting out windsurfing by writing a simple statement encouraging redress! Here are 4 emails readily available from the US Sailing website:
jakefish@ussailing.org Communications Director
jackgierhart@ussailing.org Executive Director
garyjobson1@verizon.net President
Vote:
Vote on petition below and email your ISAF MNA (Member National Authority) going to the ISAF Annual Meeting. Did you vote for world-wide Olympic windsurfing? Please vote , windsurfers need to get the petition over 35,000! It's 32,000 about now.

This is about windsurfing's future in the USA and internationally on a fair playing surface vs. prejudiced sailing politics. Do what is right for worldwide sailing, not US potential kiting medals in 2016 Rios.
