my name is ileana harrison of arlington texas. i am in the seventh grade. the reason i even came upon this case is because my speech teacher gave us this topic for a debate. every since then i have been following this case to find out more information on what happend to this poor man.i give all my support out to you all for believing in your beliefs. stay strong.

If this case needs independent investigation and decision, give it! This man is an asset to our country--we need more like him.

Mr. Auttouoman is an asset to society...it is hard to believe that you would even consider deporting him when there are so many others that do not get deported and do nothing to help American society. When you find someone willing to work hard, help others, and pay taxes...you should keep him!

I support this petition.

don't take him...

Keeping Obain in America will provide not only a great teracher but also a great civics lesson for the students.

I am very proud of all the hard work these teens have done to keep their beloved teacher here with them. He deserves to get to stay here.

I support this petition.

Obain is not only a wonderful person but he is an excellent teacher. He is not only competent but also highly dedicated to his work. He cares a lot for his students and I know he makes a difference in their lives. Please let Obain stay. Let him stay and be a role model to so many young men who don't have anyone to look up to. Let him stay and do what he does best: TEACH FROM THE HEART!

I'm editor of the website www.congoboston.com and i support the passage of the bil on the behalf of my fellow refugees, especially those from Africa who are being neglected, and face deportation measures.

Please don not take an excellent teacher away from his students!

I am signing a petition because through experience, it is obvious that our country has a serious issue with obtaining and keeping teachers that go beyond their "official" duties. It is a disgrace that a country in which the majority of it's citizens started out as immigrants are so quick to use the very term in recent times in order to single out and discriminate against others. I strongly urge those with the powers to do so to reexamine what it means to be in a position that can have an affect on not just one, but many lives (including future students).

In this country where exceptionally GREAT teachers are few and far between we should not deport them...he is making a difference in his school and he should continue to stay there...i feel that once the African American community experiences something great it gets taken away...deport the people who bring drugs into our country, deport the people who bring weapons in our country...but you cant deport greatness...he is an inspiration to all around the world now... the students of Fenway High School have the right to have a great teacher...As an American I dont want to send him back to a land that doesnt want him and take him away from the children who truly need him here and we should keep him here...he has helped educate the students of this country and he cant be aloud to stay here for life...its OUTRAGEOUS

Mr. Obain, is a work working man who really cares for his students. He has demonstrated it in so many ways. I as a Fenway alumni, can truthfully say that without Mr. Obain, Fenway will never be at peace!

Deport a good teacher? We should IMPORT as many as we can find! We need them!

I support this petition.

He seems to be better equipped for success than most of the refugees brought to the US. Allow him to stay, I don't seen any reason for deportation.

Operation Iraq Freedom Veteran out of Ft. Hood, TX. There has been no illegal action on Mr. Auttouoman's behalf since he's been here. He's been a dedicated teacher and and has made an impact in numerous young students' lives. Deporting him for the sake of "good moral value of the law" will be a huge mistake that will surley place a negative outlook on our country. Please reconsider your decision. -SPC Shannon
