In June 2009, President Obama gave his "A New Beginning" speech in Cairo, Egypt, calling for a reboot of America's relationship with the Arab and Muslim regions of the world.
Now is our chance to put Obama's words into action.
The U.S. can't afford to stand by another dictator until the very end hoping for "reform" - we need an American president that clearly and forcefully speaks out against authoritarianism and in favor of true democracy.
America stood by the Shah of Iran until his last days in 1979, sending the wrong message to a popular uprising that has resulted in 30 years of animosity. We can't afford the same in Egypt.
Ask Obama to call for Egyptian President Mubarak to resign immediately and hand over power to a transitional government.
Let America be the first and truest friend to the Egyptian people and show the rest of the world that freedom is our first priority.
Petition Obama and your U.S. legislative representatives to call for Mubarak's immediate resignation and help us take a step toward "A New Beginning."
We the undersigned, remembering your June 2009 speech "A New Beginning", given in Cairo, Egypt, look to you to stay true to your words and support a renewed relationship between America and the Arab and Muslim regions of the world.
Now is your chance to put these words into action.
The U.S. can't afford to stand by another dictator until the very end hoping for "reform" - we need an American president that clearly and forcefully speaks out against authoritarianism and in favor of true democracy.
America stood by the Shah of Iran until his last days in 1979, sending the wrong message to a popular uprising that has resulted in 30 years of animosity. We can't afford the same in Egypt.
Let America be the first and truest friend to the Egyptian people and show the rest of the world that freedom is our first priority.
President Obama, we ask you to call for Egyptian President Mubarak to resign immediately and hand over power to a transitional government.
Help us all take a step toward "A New Beginning."
Thank you for your kind attention,
