The USA is hoping to host the World Cup in 2018 or 2022. San Diego is one of 27 cities being considered to host games. The USA bid committee has started electronic petitions to help garner support for each city. Even if you are not a soccer fan, having games here with 60,000+ fans over several weeks will be good for our city. Please show your support by signing the petition on our homepage at obrienspub.net.  All you need to do is type in an email address and a zip code. If you have multiple emails, you can enter them all. Please get your friends and family to help support this effort to bring one of the world’s greatest sporting events to our home town.
If you want to really help the effort along, please forward this text to as many people as you can – and ask them to forward it on:
The San Diego World Cup Bid Committee needs your help to gather signatures for an online petition. The city is trying to become a host city for either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup soccer tournament – the USA is bidding for both tournaments at the same time. We need to show our city’s support to be a host city by signing the petition. San Diego is one of 27 cities vying for only 18 final spots that will be decided by the end of the year – the petition signing ends on November 30th. Could you please visit the city’s website at: www.sandiego.gov and click on the World Cup link to sign the petition? All that is needed is an email address and a zip code. If you have multiple email addresses, please enter all of them. If you have friends, relatives and colleagues that you can forward this to, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much for your help in trying to bring the planet’s largest sporting event to San Diego.
