Hallo, freunden!
First of all, I apologize for not speaking in German. Ich kann nur ein bissien sprechen, ach so, I will speak English for now on.
With the support of some A-ha's Orkut community members, I created a petition, which in be explained in the message below I wrote to be sent to all A-ha fans. Hope you understand the reasons, the cause and join us. Let's engage to this cause and show how we feel to our favorite band. Please, feel free to forward the message and give publicity to it. Danke schön!!

Dear worldwide A-ha fans,
We, Brazilian fans, decided to create a petition against the end of A-ha.
It is just a spontaneous letter which shall be signed at petitionline.com to be sent to them in a personal way. It has neither legal, nor obligatory intention or aspect of any kind. It is just a very personal gesture of love from fans all over the world that can not imagine living without new songs, old songs, performed live shows and their very own presence with us, giving back this mutual affection. No matter how many signatures we will get, this letter will be sent with the names under it because each name there matters. What A-ha will do with it, it is not of our concern. We already FULLY respect their decision of ending the band. We are just having a hard time to accept it and, therefore, we decided to manifest ourselves and ask them to rethink their decision. No matter what, we will follow them in their personal careers and will accept whichever decisions made.
We know they are on the road, on their Farewell Tour, but because of our love, affection and admiration for them and their work, we believe we have the right to ask them to rethink their decision. After 25 years of an outstanding and amazing career, we feel that they know they can go for another 25. It is hard to believe and understand that a band, that launched a beautiful and extraordinary CD – Foot of the Mountain –practically a year ago, decides to end its activities now.
We count on you to give voice to our pleading. We count on you to help us make them know how we feel. We count on you to support and respect whichever decision that will definitely be made by them. We count on you for doing something and engaging as well.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned in the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/19852010/petition.html
