The Campaign
The Reinstate Hank campaign calls for the remittal of Opry star, and country music legend, Hank Williams. More than fifty years have passed since the tragic and untimely death of country music's greatest performer, who made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry on June 11, 1949, with the crowd demanding an unheard of six encores.
A few years later, in 1952, Hiram Hank Williams was dismissed from the Opry with the understanding that he would sober up and then return to the stage that he loved so much. Sadly, he passed away in the back seat of his car a few months later and never made that momentous return.
Despite being one of the most powerfully iconic figures in American music, Hank Williams has yet to be reinstated to the Opry. Now, your help is needed to honor and preserve his legacy. Join the campaign and add your signature to the petition to Reinstate Hank Williams to the Grand Ole Opry.

Howdy Folks!
Part of the Reinstate Hank Petition Campaign is getting to see some of the comments left by those signing the Petition. Here's a recently noted comment you might enjoy:
"Hank Williams has had such a great Great Influence musician in all types of music and musician in his life also after his death,singer ,song writers that have were born after his death.
It was my mom and dad that made me aware of his music .i have read that many a musician has been influence by the great music that he gave us.now it time to honer this man who had issues to deal with .Those problem do not negate the great accomplishments hes has done for country music and other types."
Based on these comments and recent blogs found on MySpace, it's clearly evident that Hank Williams Sr. is respected by music lovers from virtually all genres of music. What he gave artists, singers, musicians, and fans will truly live forever. It's always nice to see others continuing to pay their Respect to the King of Country!
