Please sign my WH petition to have Michelle Obama ride a unicycle

Please sign my White House petition to have Michelle Obama learn to ride a unicycle:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/have-michelle-obama-learn-ride-unicycle/2HX496qk

She started the “Let’s Move” initiative to get young people into healthier lifestyles. I figured that unicycling could fit into that initiative, and she would make a good unicycling spokesperson.

Now I know that many of you do not support her husband’s politics. And you may include me among that number. But I think her goal of encouraging exercise and healthy living cuts across political lines, and it would be good to have her ride to demonstrate how fun the sport can be.

signed it :slight_smile:

Thank you for signing!

We only need 150 total signatures for the petition to show up on the main page of the petition web site. Then it can really take off. News sites from the around the world will be reporting on this petition.

We can surely get 150 unicyclists here to add their names to the petition!

Better, we could get her to go on a ride with us…secret service and all. They must of course ride giraffes for better visual coverage.

See if you can get UDC to post it on facebook, maybe they can generate a few more.

According to a co-author of the Obamacare legislation, one of its “most significant provisions” is the excise tax on employer-provided insurance. It is estimated that this tax on “Cadillac” health plans will eventually affect 75% of those who get insurance through their jobs. Perhaps we should all consider a switch to preventive unicycling!

Do we really need to register on whitehouse.gov? And is it limite to US citizens?

Yes I think you need to register. It only takes a minute. Just fill in your name, they send you an e-mail, and you click on the e-mail link they send.

I am not sure of the rules for signing, but I’d be glad to see you sign. It’s not like an election. :slight_smile:

Guantánamo, Benghazi, Bagram, Bahrain, Detroit, Pelican Bay…?

Signed :wink: We still miss 146 votes to get to the first page :wink:

Thanks! We have 30 days to get 150 signatures, so that’s 5 people per day. We’re already on track to hit that number for our first day.

BTW, I checked the requirements for signing, and you only have to be 13 years or older – it mentions nothing about US citizenship:

Are we sure she can’t already ride, and what constitutes learning to ride anyway?

As the 5th signatory, I demand automatic U.S. citizenship if this comes to pass.
