I support this petition because Samantha and Nellie are clearly the best known American Girl dolls, they have been around the longest, the old Pleasent Company icon was a girl playing with a Samantha doll, and after Mattel took over American Girl, LOTS OF HORRIBLE THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING...... THE NEW MATTEL GIRLS like Julie ( no offense ) DONT HELP ANYONE LIKE THE ONLD ORIGINAL ONES! The new girls only help themselves, not girls in need! Sam helped the orphan girl nellie, Addy and her mother went on a mission and were in need, but they chose to help other people, etc. SAMANTHA AND NELLIE ARE GONE, BUT LET THEM COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
