Show the world respect and dignity is alive. Obama/Our Inauguration deserves dignity and elegance.

Stop the ENTIRE Beyonce at Inauguration Campaign

Target:

Presidential Inaguration

THE YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWING WHY BEYONCE IS ALL WRONG FOR THE INAUGURATION IS BACK! Circulate this video to everyone you know and anyone you think can make a difference in the campaign to fight vulgarity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-eu9BFsxpc. Thank you to the video producer and supporter who brought this back to the site.

Even after it has been announced that Aretha Franklin will perform at the Inauguration Ceremony (what an honor - from King's funeral to Obama's Inauguration!), someone in the hyper-Sasha Fierce Spin Zone is still pushing for her to be included (Dec. 25 "Showbiz Tonight"). There are many official Balls and events that celebs want to be included in for the publicity. These events will be just as high-profile (playing over and over on the news) as the Ceremony. We've seen evidence of her people trying to erase this petition but none that she's cleaned up her image. The Inauguration Committee heard our voices before planning the Big Show, now show them that we mean an ENTIRELY CLEAN Inauguration!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her hypersexual image and aid to the negative images of women is in itself enough to exclude her. We don't want young girls OR boys to see this behavior validated at the most public display of the world moving in a positive direction.

For those in the B.K camp monitoring this petition. Please read the more than 900 signature without prejudice. The majority of people are saying they view your artist as an entertainer and not a proper role model. Many artists have been seen as sexy but not raunchy- meaning, 20 yrs from now, where will you be and what will be your mark in history? The late Eartha Kitt had a legacy as a sexy women but left this world as someone who stood for something and 60 yrs of respect. How will you be seen 60 yrs from now? As you and your base matures you will see that you have to rely on substance over grinding in order to "make" a legand.

We would welcome supporting Ms. Knowles and her career if she would aggressively work to improve her image and send positive messages and images to our children.

This is a new day. In the tradition of Barack Obama's historic win, we want only positive images and role models for children around the world who will be watching the Presidential Inaguration. You must help put an end to female degradation by putting a stop to performers like Beyonce. I'm sure Malia and Sasha aren't allowed to immulate people like this and this person shouldn't be put before other children as a symbol worthy of such a wonderful event.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO STOOD UP FOR DIGNITY AND POSITIVE IMAGES!

We won the most important battle, and when the entire world will be watching Jan. 20, the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States will be a dignified and memorable event.

We went up against a big machine with more money and manpower, but the peoples' voices where heard and Jan. 20 will be a day we can all remember as the start of our nation moving in a positive direction.

We can only hope Sunday's concert will have the same level of self respect we expect to see on Tue.

PLEASE continue to speak out on the demand for positive images and why we MUST turn our backs on negativity, and work hard for a tomorrow that will rid our children of degrading images and performers with low or no self-respect.

Congratualtions on your victory.

Peace!

At the time Obama was to be elected, Beyonce took more of her clothes off, jiggled 6x harder and more sexually provacative while singing less. It was like a young teenager saying "hey look at me Obama". I am the farthest thing from conservative as possible and I have been totally appalled watching her vie for attention. It is so obvious that she is doing everything she can to get his attention and she should stay away from our new President and his Family as her recent actions are totally disgusting, immature and embarrassing. Maybe her last name is Lewinsky. Beyonce Lewinsky?

No Beyonce at the inaugaration. All that shaking and skimpy clothes are great for MTV and the BET awards. But not for the Inauguration. We need class not sass. We need dignified not bootylicious. No matter what suit you put on her-we will still see the "put a ring on it video". This is a historical moment--lets not mare it. There are plenty of other singers that won't create so much negative buzz. The focus should be on the president elect.

I'M NOT AMERICAN BUT I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD B PERFORMING AT THE INNAUGURATION. SHE COMES OFF CHEAP. I DON'T LIKE IT AND I AIN'T A HATER BUT I DON'T THINK SHE HAS THE CLASS. J-HUD SHOULD PERFORM BUT I FEEL FOR HER IT'S TO EARLY MAYBE ALICIA KEYS OR SOME ONE OF THAT CALIBUR.

I've read everyone's comment and I agree and don't agree with some of you; however, I will sign this petition because I love Mr. President Elect Obama, First Lady Elect,Mrs. Obama,First Lady, First Daughter Malieh, and First Daughter Sasha - I also love Beyonce, but I don't want her performing at the inaguration. Beyonce this is to you...You were no where in sight to campaign for President Elect Obama, you could of help him by campaingning at all the universities in the United States to get all of the young people to vote for free. You didn't do anything, but you want to come out on this BIG day for your own publicity. Beyonce you know the entire world will be watching...5 million people at D.C and who knows how many people will be home watching; not to talk about the internet. This is not for you...it is not your time of day Beyonce. This is for President Elect Obama not you. It's time for a new face and fresh start. President Obama is all about hope for people like me and my family and your all about making money and looking pretty. Beyonce, you don't care about poor people or people who lost their job. Beyonce, you only care about how many C.D. you sell and how much air play you get, so please do all of us a favor step back and let artist like Alisha Keys, Will I AM, John Legend, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder perform real artist who cares, real artist who stood by President Elect Obama from DAY 1...People who cares, not for publicity or money or promotion but for CHANGE. Beyonce you are not about CHANGE...You are more of the same.

I remember when they matched Beyonce with Josh Grobin at the Oscars - They put her in a fancy gown and long gloves, and had her sing classy songs, but all you noticed was that she has no class. It ruined the beautiful sounds of Grobin, probably akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

I think that Beyonce is talented BUT she is not a good fit for performing at such an event. We need more than talent. We need the brightest and best to represent us with class and grace. Hood, thug, hustling etc.. does not fit into that.

I feel she will conduct herself as an professional and she knows when to perform provocative and how to perform for certain audeince. If the President Elect Obama ask her know problem, however I'm routing for Jennifer Hudson. Very excellent talent I've been waiting for, not just the performance. However when role model is spoke upon, I can agree with some of the comments about the girls even knowing about the performance much less viewing. It's whatever. Michelle will most will have the last say so anyway. KayPhilly

Honest people should perform at the event, not greedy skum like Beyonce, copicat, backstabing whore. people who stole songs dont deserve it. Please we want to see someone truly original and worldwide successful like Shakira.

This is not only a historical event for African American, but it is a historical event for "all" Americans. It will be talked about and read about for years to come. Beyonce is not a positive image for women, particularly black women. Michelle Obama is the first black lady. She is intelligent, classy, respectable, and dignified, everything Beyonce is not. Having her perform will send mixed messages about what the Obamas stand for. Leave Beyonce home watching her degrading videos.

We are coming together to celebrate our nation's 1st black president. This is not the Grammy's, the VMA's, the AMA's, the Billboard awards, the Source awards, the BETs, none of that. Beyonce is not fit to sing st such an event. I don't mind if she attends, hey, its a free country, but they cannot subject the rest of us to endure her performance while we wait for the man of the hour (Obama) to be sworn in. Please, please rethink this choice. It's not too late to rethink this decision and go with someone classic and graceful, like Alicia Keys or Heather Headley. But not Beyonce. Not Beyonce. (It's not too late!!!)

There's more disgusting artists worth targeting. However, as I proudly voted for Obama, I would be ashamed if the choice was made for her to be in any of his limelight whatsoever. He is regal and esteemed. She's anything but classy.

I think she is completely wrong for the ceremony. She has shown recently her true character and lack of respect for those people who came before her. What she represents is not right for this event. If you want her to perform, watch BET or MTV, not during the swearing in of our new President who represents dignity and grace. Beyonce does no such thing.

I've already accepted Jennifer Hudson not performing for the inauguration (though it took time), but Beyonce??? The individual performing for that ceremony needs to have something behind their voice Beyonce does not possess...POWER. Don't get it twisted, I respect her career in the music game, but inauguration??? Hell, let's at least make this a little more fair but holding an audition. We know the truth, whenever she over-indulges a part for a project, she gets it. She has way too much on her plate anyways. Destiny boo...it's time to sit down and take a little break.

Beyonce is a poor example to young girls of how to carry themselves as women. With the negative impact she has on the overall view of black women, she honestly does not deserve the honor of performing at this inauguration. President Obama deserves a much better representative from our generation.

No way. I'm not American like most people here but I have to say my 2 cents here. Her videos are vulgar with the dancing she does, the clothing she wears and I'm really tired of Black women in this day and age to have -that- parading on the media and it being acceptable. I don't want my kids whenever I get them to have that as a role model of what a woman in general and what a black woman is only good for. Sex appeal. This presidential inauguration is history changing and even the thought of her going to sing there is just ugh...what the hell is she even going to sing? Her songs aren't giving the right image and if it involves dancing...please no. This isn't a "Beyonce" concert this is so much bigger than just her.

Beyonce, this is payback for not offering your condolences to Jennifer Hudson after her family was murdered. That is why she was selected to sing the National Anthem during the Inauguration ceremonies. Plus she has more class and WAY more talent than you (as evidenced by her Oscar and your LACK of one). You're overexposed and you need to be more humble. Insulting the Jackson family won't get you anywhere either, just getting more haters. And just because you voiced that you want to win both an Oscar and Tony award doesn't mean you'll ever actually earn one. Please work on being more humble first.

Beyonce should not be there! I mean have to heard her song Diva? OMG and she says it's not her it's Sasha Fierce. There is no damn Sasha Fierce. That is Beyonce. Sasha does not have any money, Sasha does not recieve checks. Her image is strictly sexual, I know there are other singers who have a sexy image like Christina Aguilera but she knows when and when not to turn that sexiness on. She actually has grown throughout the years. Beyonce is too grown to be acting like a child. I never heard of a female singer of her status to make a song about boasting. She just belittles herself on her own. I hope and pray to god she won't be there.

Her style and image is not appropriate for such an upscale affair. She was initially a Hillary supporter, which is fine. But she strikes me as fake., and the inaguration is just another notch on her belt, not something that is repectable , honorable, and sacred. I feel that Beyonce and Jayzee would cheapen and lessen the respect of such an important gala.

# 1,016:

This is the prime example of what happens when you're born without brains. You can't compose lyrics extending beyond, "my body's too bootylicious." Who wants to hear this garbarge at such an upscale event? If this were Jay-Z or 50 Cent being crowned "Thug Pimp Of The Year," then her presence would be welcomed, because thugs and being pimped is something that she's educated in. Polictics are a no-no for her.

I definetely think that Beyonce will not be a good representation for the inauguration. I'd rather see someone like Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, or Erykah Badu. Women who are the true representations of class and elegance...

Beyonce is a great performer, truth be told. But this is not the kind of images we need to show to the world about African American women. "Shaking what your mama gave you" and dancing around half naked is not the image we want to show the world of us African Americans. This is a new beginning for our image with Obama and Beyonce does not fit that.

I said the same thing when I heard the comment she made about the Jacksons. Janet Jackson has earned her right as a legend by dancing and singing and not by shaking her behind. Maybe as she matures she will realize it.

Dear Mr President elect, Beyonce is too sexual to perform at the inauguration ceremony, she only volunteered to perform just so she could be part of history and brag about it later on. Where was she when others were campaigning for Obama and working hard for the election? Why all of a sudden she wants to volunteer and make herself available? AND PLEASE SHE SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN ANY PART OF THE INAUGURAL FESTIVITIES.

Beyonce is an ungrateful, opportunistic selfish one-dimensional artist. Her great claim to fame is shaking her ASSets. Her quivering vocals are annoying and erupt into an all yodeling fest! Who needs to watch women exploited as Beyonce has been exploited by her own father. Barack is a man of his family, and instills values in his girls to cherish and support family and friends. Beyonce is a poor girl caught up in this upper middle class fantasy world. What? Does she think she's an elitist so that should automatically qualify her for participation! NO, no, no. Beyonce needs a lesson in humility and respect for her peers. She acts like she's an innovator and she is nothing but a gimmick looking yet again to capitalize on someone else's accolades. There is nothing remotely interesting or appealing about Beyonce. Nothing at all. She is strictly strip-ly and not worthy of such an honor.
