grant political asylum to 100 Syrian refugees and cover their expenses until it is safe to return to their home.

Created by M.K. on September 24, 2014

This petition is not for military involvement or condemnation of political leaders. It is simply a cry to start somewhere and do what is right. It is not the responsibility of Turkey alone to bear the influx of Syrian refugees. If the inscription on the bottom of the Statue of Liberty is true, then let this petition be its action.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
