I honestly had to read the email three times before it clicked that Southwest actually agreed to broadcast the parade nationally. It feels wild to think about people from Germany and Japan finally getting to see the whole spectacle on their own screens after all this chaos. Thanks for sticking …

We are creeping up on that thousand signature mark and I really need you all to grab someone else who appreciates the suits and the music because having that four digit number makes such a huge difference when I finally email Southwest. It is wild to see people from so many different countries chiming in here and honestly that momentum is the only thing keeping me going while I stare at this screen waiting for the count to tick over.

I see the tracker climbing toward that first hundred mark and honestly it makes me think about all those people in Germany or even the military base in Cuba who want to watch this stuff on their screens. If everyone who already signed just grabbed one other person to join us today we could blow past this milestone and really show the sponsors we mean business.

The Mummers should be televised in New England. I grew up in Philadelphia and went to all the parades. Who cares about Macy's parade in NYC with their air filled balloons when you have the Mummers!!!

The parade is not just a Philadelphia tradition its a national pride tradition that should be shown and enjoyed everywhere.

Lyme mummers should be seen on the international scale and see the families and the Philadelphia tradition dating all the way back to the birth of this nation in 1776 and going back further this should be shared with all nations
