We, the undersigned, petition the Country Music Hall of Fame to induct the legendary Stanley Brothers (Carter and Ralph) in the 2009 induction. Along with bluegrass forefathers Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs (who are already inducted), The Stanley Brothers are early pioneers of bluegrass and country music and have helped lay the very foundation for what we know as bluegrass and country music today. Carter and Ralph Stanley are well-deserving of this distinguished honor and we would very much like to see it happen with the 2009 induction.
