Help Stop Bush Library....please!

avatar

Hope this isn't a pain, and I know many of you probably already signed this, but there is one last, serious effort underway to stop the Bush Library and Think Tank from coming to fruition.  We really could stop it.  There is a plan.

I went to SMU, and it's a great school.  But it's run by people eager to railroad this horrible idea into reality.  So, do it out of spite if you must, or whatever, but please sign the petition and help us stop this.

For those who don't know, this isn't any regular Presidential Library.  Rove and Co. have attached a right-wing think tank to the facility that will work to actively rewrite the history of the Iraq War and the Bush Presidency.  It will push for and build a neo-con agenda for generations to come, under the guise of a respectability.  These are its objectives.  And yes, it's that bad.

So, sorry to bug ya with a petition.  I know it's a drag to dwell on Bush when there's so much to look forward to.

Thanks...

I understand. It's embarrassing as it is for Texans.

Thing is. They're not even from here. He didn't go to school here or anything. They just have some failed businesses here.

Thanks. Signed and e-mailed link to others.

I too am a graduate of SMU and it makes me sick to think that it will now house that kind of trash. I would send the link out on Facebook, Myspace and even classmates.com. There are lots of people who are disgusted by this. I will forward the info on as well.

What year did you graduate?

Hey folks. Better to have a reminder of this 8 year debacle than to let it fade into obscurity.

Me, I'd rather we have something to continue the debate even after he's out of office. It'll keep the sour taste in our mouths and encourage us to never forget this dark chapter in our nation's history.

There's a sewage treatment plant in San Francisco for that purpose. A library? A Think Tank? George Bush has probably never entered any of the former, and the latter should only exist if it has nothing but "Bushisms" all over its walls to show what a moron the guy is.

They're going to build a library to the bum anyway.

On the upside, if you can't stop it, it'll be a handy venue for protests.

Yeah, that was lame. Sorry. The silver linings on this black cloud over your alma mater are looking kinda thin.

I would be glad to sign, but - when I read the petition, it appears that one must be a Methodist to legitimately participate.

Same here. I'm not even a believer, so I didn't feel right about signing up as a Methodist. Besides, it won't stop it. Hell, Congress hasn't been able to stop them from pre-emptive wars, shredding the Constitution, torturing people, stacking Justice with illegally appointed suck-ups, etc; why should a petition?
