Urge the U.S. government to accept more Syrian refugees. Obama's current acceptance of just 10,000 people is far too low for a nation with the wealth of resources that the U.S. has.
Why is this important?
My reason for starting this petition is entirely personal: if the roles were reversed, and I was forced by civil war to flee my country with my children, I would want other nations to help me. One of the things I love about the U.S. is that we are, as individuals, extremely generous. I cannot stand by silently while our government acts in such a miserly, halfhearted way. We can afford to take in more than 10,000 refugees, and we should.
