We are asking you to make a donation to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, George Bush's future presidential library.

One book.

From the National Archives:

"Presidential Libraries promote understanding of the presidency and the American experience. We preserve and provide access to historical materials, support research, and create interactive programs and exhibits that educate and inspire."

What historical material better exemplifies the presidency of George W. Bush more than the children's story "My Pet Goat" – the story he was reading when he was notified of the tragedy on 9/11.

Contrary to popular belief, however, the title of the story is not "My Pet Goat", but rather "The Pet Goat". It is also not a book unto itself, but a story contained in a book titled "Reading Mastery - Level 2 Storybook 1".

We are initiating a project to encourage everyone to donate a copy of "Reading Mastery - Level 2 Storybook 1" to the George W. Bush Presidential Center on, or shortly after, it’s opening.

Maybe a few copies, or maybe even thousands, or tens of thousands of copies.

Now, the library may not want a few copies, or maybe even thousands, or tens of thousands of copies of the book "Reading Mastery - Level 2 Storybook 1" in the George W. Bush Presidential Center. They would probably have to dispose of the excess.

The only logical thing to do with that many books would be to donate them to school libraries around the country. The media would probably be more than happy to assist in publicizing such a generous gesture:

"The George W. Bush Presidential Center Donates Thousands of Copies of "The Pet Goat" to Public Schools Across the Country"

The purpose of this project is to exercise our civic responsibility that future generations understand the presidency of George W. Bush. It is important that his legacy is accurately preserved in a manner that truly reflects his mindest and capacity to lead.

On February 22, 2008, Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas announced that they had been chosen as the site of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which will contain a library, museum and institute.

Groundbreaking for the George W. Bush Presidential Center is scheduled for 2010, with the opening scheduled for 2013, so there is a fair amount of time for proper organization. Stop back here peiodically for updates and progress reports.
