Another faith-based group has launched a campaign to stop the George W. Bush Presidential Library from being built at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Hope for Peace & Justice, a faith-based social justice organization based in Dallas, says it is concerned about the reputation of Dallas and the safety of local residents if the library and proposed think tank are built at SMU, as the "Bush Library will no doubt be a terrorist target,"said the Rev. Michael Piazza, president of Hope for Peace & Justice.

The group has launched an online petition and Web site at http://www.stopthelibrary.com.

In their petition, the group also cites increased traffic along U.S. 75 and the Mockingbird Lane area, where SMU is located, and concerns about the infrastructure needed to support the extra traffic, as well as security concerns stemming from the increased number of visitors.

7. Aw C'mon it's one shelf of childrens books.....

if you include the Winnie-the-Pooh bookends. Can't you put them in a service tunnel or something. Cheney is so comfortable underground it wouldn't be a problem and Rumsfield could come and visit them when the sun was out.
