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.

"please reinstate hank williams, from a little bisket eater from way back (card carrying)
lets do this now!" Aug 4th

"come on folks, sign this petition. lets get hank back to his home." Aug 5th

"Reinstate Hank you dogs. You've been banking on his name and style for over 50 years." Aug 5th

"Hank deserves to be in the opry. Taylor Swift needs to be opted out." Aug 3rd

"It is a disgrace that this man who has molded country music into the mecca of all music entertainment hasn't been given the recognition he is due. Listening to this new stuff that is now "country". It amazes me that this man who defined country music, is absent from such a forum." Aug 2nd

Best Kept Secret In Music - Hank Williams Sr.

Did you know that Hank Williams Sr. is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry? A friend recently asked 7 people at random if they were aware of this and all 7 thought that he was already a member. Naturally, who wouldn't think he was? He's promoted relentlessly in and around the Opry, while unsuspecting fans are unaware that he was removed and never reinstated into the Opry he helped build.

Help by spreading the word, forward this story, e-mail it to friends, and most importantly by signing the Petition to Reinstate Hank Williams into the Grand Ole Opry. Sign it Today!
