White House Petitions

[thyme4change]

Anyone can create a petition to the white house. Granted most of them are poltical - you can sign one asking Obamacare to be repealed, or Obama to be impeached, or Legalize Marijuana. But there are a couple out there I thought were fun. Here is the link - you can waste a few minutes there if you like.

we petition the obama administration to:

Peacefully grant the University of Illinois Chief Illiniwek back as the school mascot.

Chief Illiniwek was a symbol of the University of Illinois, and gave recognition to the Native American tribes of Illinois. Getting rid of this mascot is erasing a heroic and symbolic figure of utmost importance to Illinois history.

we petition the obama administration to:

Make Election Day a Federal Holiday in an effort to increase voter accessibility and promote democratic culture

we petition the obama administration to:

endorse Johnny Manziel, also known as "Johnny Football," for the 2012 Heisman Memorial Trophy Award.

WHEREAS Johnny Manziel, also known as "Johnny Football" has ushered in an age of collegiate football in America the likes of which we have never seen; and

WHEREAS Johnny Football has overseen the meteoric rise of Texas A&M in its first year in the SEC, in the first year of the Kevin Sumlin era; and

WHEREAS Johnny Football has statistically dominated all collegiate competition with his play on the field; and

WHERAS the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award is to be granted to the "most outstanding player in collegiate football" and makes no qualifications regarding classification;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

The Office of the President of the United States, and indeed the whole of the free world, endorses Johnny Manziel for the 2012 Heisman Trophy. Gig'em Aggies.

we petition the obama administration to:

Send the President to Meet a Dying 8 Year Old in St. Louis

Kyra Root, an 8 year old with Osteosarcoma, is dying. She has a Bucket List. On that list is "Meet the President".

Please help us get signatures to send the president a message that this child wants to meet him.

And - my personal favorite:

we petition the obama administration to:

have the President to attend a Fark.com party. If scheduling does not permit, at least have a beer with Drew Curtis

Too many serious petitions on this site asking the President to work his butt off. We believe that he should have a chance to have a good time.
