Signatures #2000 through #2100 for the Mr. Bush, Don't Take Our Teacher petition
Pamela Anchnag said 03/06/05, 5:36 am (verified)
As the publisher of a magazine catering to the needs of immigrants in this country I join all the students and wellwishewrs of Mr Obain to support a fair opportunity given to a fellow immigrant as myself. Immigrants in this country need as much fairness as any citizen in this country as they contribute to the economy of this nation.It is a nation built from the sweat of immigrants and continues to thrive on that.It will be a shame to destroy those that give so much to our children. Plese let me know how The Immigrant Magazine can be useful to this cause.

The one thing this country needs is good teachers. When we get one it seems a shame that we do not do our best to keep him. Just to much red tape.

Jerelle Reverack said 03/06/05, 1:55 am (verified)
As Fenway High continues the fight to keep Obain here,the word "COMMUNTIY" carries on a whole new meaning at our school.Obain has inspired alot of students as well as staff. It would be wrong to take away a gift you gave someone, why take away ours?

Ignorance and apathy are the two biggest problems in this country. The effects of those are things like hate crimes, racism, drugs even terrorism. To end these issues, you must go to the source and educate people. Deporting this man would not only damage this ideal, but it would also be going against everything that is basically American. This man has done nothing wrong, therefore his private right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness outweigh any reason for deportation.

As a public high school teacher in Massachusetts, I offer my support to Obain Auttouoman. The Boston Public School system simply cannot afford to lose such a dedicated and beloved teacher especially in the area of mathematics where there is a dearth of qualified professionals.

I guess this is just a host of nonsensical nonsense. Those who adjudicate the law should not behave as though they are robots, rather they should be street bureaucrats who can amend situations as circumstances necessitate. In some countries, one may even be given the privelege to acquire a countries nationality by virtue of his good work to that country. Thatz the situation in France with talented footballers who are convinced and atimes coersed to accept the French nationality. Take Action0

Fernanda Pires-Spicer said 03/05/05, 1:21 am (verified)
I know Obain real well. He taught me at an after school program when I was a teenager and gained tremendous cross-cultural knowledge from him. He is a very sincere man with a great admiration for his teaching profession. I am completely in support for his stay in the United States and appreciate all the support that he has been blessed with from his peers and students. I only hope that those in power in the decision making could realize the importance of not deporting Obain. Keep in mind that he has and will continue to be a productive member in our society. Please allow Obain to obtain permanent residency in this country that he now regards as his home.
