Let’s Say “Thank You Mrs. Obama!”

The petition began as a non-partisan request to either Mr. Obama or Mr. McCain. After the election, website like this we focused our petition on Mr. and Mrs. Obama.

The petition text follows:

We, clinic the people, respectfully request that an organic farm be planted on the grounds of The White House, at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC.

The White House Organic Farm (aka TheWhoFarm) will be a model for healthy, economical and sustainable living everywhere. It will serve as an educational tool and economic aid, and as a means to provide food security in the Nation’s Capitol. It will reconnect the Office of the Presidency to the self-sufficient agricultural roots of America’s Founding Fathers.
