The petition says;
As a voter in the 2008 Presidential election, I'm asking you to pledge to visit Africa during your first term in office. It is my hope that your trip will increase U.S.-African cooperation, save lives and help build a better, more secure future for millions of the world's poorest people.
USA - African cooperation is good, but as an African I really don't feel flattered by people who come to visit us just because we are poor exetra. And I am sure I am not the only one. Let's find a more agreeable reason for both sides.
