The White House has a formal process by which one can petition. It is my belief that the Flemish have long gone unrecognized for their contribution to the discovery and settlement of America. If you share this belief please kindly click on the below hyperlink. If we reach 150 signatures it will allow us to keep the petition live. If we reach 25,000 electronic signatures the White House will formally review our petition. Please spread the word if you believe in this. http://wh.gov/2uD
I absolutely agree that Flemish payed a very important and constructive role in the history of the united states. But i think that it should be recognized in the belgian context. Wallonians and Brusseleers played also a very big role and their achievements are still clearly noticeable in the american society. Don’t you agree that a belgian context will give your petition a stronger effect, and also unite belgians on a common great history ?
