If you are a United Methodist, or know one, please help protect SMU from Bush's Library
THE PETITION

We the undersigned express our objection to the prospect of the George W. Bush library, museum, and think tank being established at Southern Methodist University. As United Methodists, we believe that the linking of his presidency with a university bearing the Methodist name is utterly inappropriate. We urge the Board of Trustees of Southern Methodist University and the South Central Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church to reject this project.

We surely aren't!

7. While you're at it, you can have a little fun and join the 148 people
who have signed the "Protect SMU From The "Leftist Bush-Hate Kooks" Opposing The Bush Presidental Library Being @ SMU!". Sometime after signature 134 the people who started it must have stopped monitoring it as carefully as they did at first. :)
