Mr. President I think that our country has far more things to worry about during a time of war a aggression. Please let than man who seems to be doing our country good service stay here and continue to instill decent moral, value and smarts to our children. REMEMBER NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND! Its time we started acting on that.
Please don't take this teacher for his small mistake of showing up on the wrong day. As a another fellow Christian I beg you Mr. President to not send him back to his country of extreme persecution.
Thank you!
Teachers of this caliber should not be deported because of administrative errors. You have bigger fish to catch. Set your nets in the right place not the goldfish bowl.
This is apalling. This country picks and chooses who can stay in this country based on Bush's whims and his own agenda [i.e. legalization of solely mexican immigrants]. Shame on you, Bush.
America was and continues to be built by immigrants. Here is a man making a positive contribution to our society. We should be recruiting more like him, not deporting him on a technicality.
It doesn't make our country safer to victimize immigrants who are making a contribution to our society.
Please grant Mr. Obain Auttouoman asylum and let him continue teaching the children who love him.
please do not deport this great teacher!!!! he is a great contribution to our children's futures.. let him stay in this country and redirect your attention to the misfits of our country--not upstanding, hard-working, TAX-PAYING individuals..
This is America, and President Bush is a great President. Mr. President, our most vulnerable population, urban children, and I implore you to do the right thing and help Mr. Auttouoman to continue to make a huge difference in this great country of ours. Do not punish him and us for such a small error. Please
Please allow Obain Auttouoman an immigration hearing! Please do not deport him into a possibly dangerous situation. He is a dedicated teacher and our kids need him--Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
MOnica Raymond
Why deport a man that so many love? Its hard with todays educational systems for a teacher to be able to reach out to their students. This one has. Lets put eduation back into the hands of the people- and not politics.
What has the U.S. come to that a respected, beloved teacher cannot find sanctuary here. Over a bureaucratic error?!! Please give this honorable man a hearing & restore faith to his students.
Please keep Mr. Auttouoman in our public schools, good teachers are hard to find. In this country of opportunity, all people should have the opportunity fight for their right to pursue the American dream. If deportation must be considered, the appropriate governemnt office should have access to a computer on which a typed letter stating date and time can be written. People should further be given all opportunities to ammend simple mistakes in understanding pertaining to their court appointments.
Thank you
Mr. Auttouoman has been a positive contributing member of our country over the last past 13 years. Give him them opportunity to fill out the appropriate paperwork to stay in the US and continue the excellent work he has done in Boston.
I vote.
This guy didn;t do anything worth deporting him over. Please don't strip our community of another dedicated teacher. We lose so many just becasue of a lack of reasonable funding. This procedure is a moral offence.
I've lived through the Boston Public School system and I understand how you guys must feel. I just wan to let you guys know that I'm rooting for you and don't give up hope. GOD BLESS
It is great the Obain have an opportunity to stay in the greatest country in the world. Now, our focus is to help him through the process of staying permanently. I wish all works out for him and his family.
What a shame that some work harder to follow procedure than to understand cultural differences and minor mistakes (like mixing up a month and a day in a date). May Mr. Auttouoman have as happy an outcome as a Rwandan friend of mine asking for asylum did in Seattle: a judge's lack of compassion was over-ruled and they ran an article in the newspaper. Don't reject your best, America!
