Petition created by: ilyes WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s aides say he is considering making a major foreign policy speech from an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office. Here is why It should be Morocco * What do you call an Arab, Muslim and African country who was the first to recognize the United States constitution? Kingdom of Morocco * What do you call a moderate, tolerating, peaceful country who is the strongest ally to the United States in the region? Kingdom Of Morocco. * What do you call Obama's first speech in Morocco after his inauguration? A historical moment. Over 200,000 strong, one of the fastest growing communities in the USA, Moroccan Americans dominantly Democrats are inviting President Elect Omaba to Make Morocco the home for his first speech. Morocco is the ideal country to launch a message of home to the Muslim world. A peace loving country with a respected voice in the region, Morocco is a long time friend of the United States and would be proud to host President Elect Barack Obama in this historical event. Mr. President elect Obama, please accept our invitation. Not only we support your vision for change, but we are ready to help you make it happen. Let this speech in Morocco be the start of a new day for Muslims around the world. Let us reject terrorism and send a strong message to all Muslims in this day when Barack will speak to the world from the nation of peace and tolerance; Morocco. Hassan Samrhouni Founder of Obama to Speak in Morocco 89 have signed so far - help us get to 1,000.  We have achieved 8.9% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress When America launched its most improbable journey, Morocco was the first to trust in it, when a colonizer wanted to oppress a newly born American Dream; Morocco was the first to believe in it. When America knocked on the world's door, Morocco was the first to say "Welcome America, We Recognize You" when the Arab World sided with Moscow, Morocco refused to be bullied and claimed its loyalty to its long time friends in Washington. The US-Moroccan relations are a true testament of mutual respect, friendship and loyalty. Today Morocco remains the OLDEST and one of the closets allies in the region. U.S. relations with Morocco date from 1777, when the two nations negotiated a Treaty of Peace and Friendship. Renegotiated in 1836, the treaty is still in force, constituting the longest unbroken treaty relationship in U.S. history. As a tribute to the special nature of the U.S.-Moroccan relationship, Tangier is home to the oldest U.S. diplomatic property in the world, and the only building on foreign soil that is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the American Legation in Tangier (now a museum). His Majesty King Hassan II was a close friend and the source of tremendous wisdom that was sought by the all Americans Presidents during his reign. President Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton have seen the US-Moroccan relationship thrive today his Majesty King Mohammed VI has continued his father's tradition. In no other place in the Arab world will a speech from President Obama have the symbolic meaning that Morocco offers, a land of tolerance and democracy where all ethnics and all religions live in perpetual harmony; making Morocco a remarkable model of peace and coexistence. As a Moroccan Contributor to Senator Obama's Presidential Campaign I call upon all Moroccans to join this historical effort initiated by Mr. Hassan Samrhouni. With determination, close collaboration and uniform message we can bring the leader of the free world to speak to the whole world from our homeland…Morocco. YES WE CAN MOROCCANS!
