#	Name	Church Affiliation & Comments
151	John Heaner	Hollywood UMC Board of Trustees
152	Stephanie Seery-Murphy	MAR, Yale Divinity School (1992) MATS, Claremont School of Theology (1996) ABD, School of Religion, Claremont Graduate University
153	Ellen Wilson	St. Andrews United Methodist Church, Arlington, Texas PLEASE do not put the Bush Library at SMU. He has not shown himself to be the "Christian" leader he claims to be, by starting a war, increasing the war, ignoring the underprivileged. I could go on and on; let's just say he does not represent the same ideologies that the United Methodist Church does..
154	Jeffrey Zabe	Readington Reford Church Readington NJ
155	Prem Panchal	None
156	Chapin C. Brooks	Friendship United Methodist Church, Friendship, Scioto County, Ohio. There is an excellent chance that George W. Bush will become one of our most despised presidents! Does SMU want that affiliation?
157	Jamila Benkato	High Park United Methodist church-goer and current SMU undergraduate
158	Paul Tigue	Former Dallas resident. Disgraceful that a religious-affliiated organization would even consider hosting a Bush presidential library.
159	Barry Davis	presbyterian
160	Jack D Ripper	None. Since you appear to be on a morality kick what will you do with the SMU coeds who finance their education while working in the Dallas area strip clubs? What will you do about the crooked sports teams that SMU has fielded? What about dishonesty in the scholastic arena?
161	Samantha Hoekstra	Member, First United Methodist Church, Houma, LA. Daughter of United Methodist Pastor
162	Jim Dietz	Wesley United Methodist Church, Charleston, IL Academic institutions (private or public) are about open research and asking tough questions. This is the antithesis of the President's presidency.
163	Manfred Haldenwang	Special Adviser
164	Dave Rennie	I renounced Methodism after seeing Methodist "ministers" throwing blood on the fence of Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, while I was stationed there during the Vietnam war. It is disheartening, although not surprising, to see that Methodism is still putting politics above Christianity.
165	Jim Ramoz	Catholic. I'm hoping to send my daughter to school there one day. I will re-consider if Bush has any affiliation with SMU.
166	Anonymous	Travis Park UMC
167	James BENSON	Believer
168	David Hicks	Trinity United Methodist Church Plant City, Fl
169	Peter Pan	Methodist. I agree that the presidential library has no place going up to the school that brought us the most corrupt and dishonerable football program ever in sports. As completely blind people that refuse to see the picture in any aspect in life, we should instead be building a Saddam Huessein Presidential Library instead as a protest to GWB.
170	John A. Mock	Episcopal Allowing the Bush Library to be built on the Campus of SMU would subject your fine institution to decades of association with the worst example of political corruption in the history of the Executive Branch.

172	Wiliam Jefferson Clinton	Patron Saint of the Hooters of Little Rock
173	Anonymous	President Bush may think that he is acting in the name of God but his actions, I believe, are anything but what God would have wanted.
174	Tonya L. Huls	Sacred Heart Catholic Church Grundy Center, IA 50638
175	Anonymous	McFarland United Methodist Church, Noman, OK
176	amy salzer	First United Methodist Church of Jacksonville , FL
177	Paul Mead Taggart	As a life-long United Methodist (United Methodist Temple, Lakeland, FL) and graduate of Florida Southern College, I find this petition to be appalling. You Quislings and Benedict Arnold's should go back under the rocks you came from. You are undoubtedly doing Satan's work for him.
178	Jhames Hamlin	Catholic
179	Jhames Hamlin	Catholic
180	LeeAnne Crisp	former United Methodist.... now, Non denominational The Methodist church today is a disgrace to the John Wesley and all of our founding members. I'm embarrassed for your ignorance and godlessness.
181	Thomas Persinger	United Methodist
182	Anonymous	Roman Catholic. I was born and baptized in the Methodist Church, converted to Anglo Catholic. i.e. Episcopal Church, after marriage and raised my family in this faith. Later in life took instructions and converted to Roman Catholicism. From my reading of the scriptures I cannot in good conscience believe this President has followed in the footsteps in which he cites consistently. My mother's favorite saying was "The bad use God, God uses the good." We have to judge this for ourselves. Even though our churches, according to God's laws, accept all sinners in our midst we do not accept sins, much less allow them to be memorialized publicly, Also, we remember our forefathers constitutionally wanted separation between church and state - no national religion. .
183	Michael L. Walker	St. Andrew's Methodist Church
184	Anthony Vescio	Don't go down with a sinking ship. Bush has no morals or values and it will only make you look like fools.
185	Jim Davidson	First United Methodist Church Roswell, GA
186	Anonymous	St. Patrick's Catholic Church
187	Erika Hirsch	New York Annual Conference
188	Herman van Dinther	Roman Catholic
189	Kathy Anderegg	Member Princeton United Methodist Church Princeton, NJ 08540
190	Anonymous	Roman Catholic Church
191	Billy Burke	United Methodist
192	steve lindsay	St.anns quincy mr bush should not have this honor
193	Anonymous	Baptist
194	Judith Edwards	United Methodist George Bush does not represent what the United Methodist Church represents. I thank those who have given us the opportunity to object to this affiliation.
195	Gloria Andolina	Catholic And I can only commend the Methodists for taking such a righteous stand against such a delusionally self-righteous and dishonorable man. It seems odd that no one has commented on how naming a library , by definition housing logic, free speech and artistic expression, after George Bush would be the ultimate insult to literacy.
196	Glint Breightly	Unlike many non-members of the church who have littered this site with comments blathering forth from their hateful hearts, I am a methodist since birth, voted for George Bush in both 2000 and 2004, and remain supportive of his presidency and am honored that he would choose to build his library at his dear wife's alma mater.
197	Anonymous	Catholic
198	Kevin Weaver	No affiliation - concerned citizen.
199	Hillary Clinton	Athiest, I wish that all people could see that George H W Bush is the Devil, so logicly George W is the Anti-Christ. Dont forget to vote for Me, I want to be your president again!
200	Charlene Russell	Even if I had not been born and raised as a Methodist, I would still abhor George W. Bush because of his corrupt actions. It would be a truly horrible thing to have SMU linked to his name.
