This is my Petition to God asking for Mr. Mustards post to please be on the cover of Open Salon! I got this idea from Cartouche, and of course, Elizabeth Gilbert who wrote, "Eat, Pray, Love."
I hear by let my feelings be known that many of us believe "Suicide's Auditions" by Mr. Mustard should be on the Cover of Open Salon and also make the Editor's Pick list!! I know you are busy, God, and there are many more important things going on in this Universe that you must tend to, but I implore you to step in and help the editors to recognize great writing when they see it. In my most humble request, I beseech you to let them see their way clear and send a little kindness his way, for he is most deserving. I thank you for your kind attention.
Readers, please sign my Petition to The Universe, e-mail the editors and leave a comment!!!
Thank you, all, in advance!!

Jack Nicholson just signed this petition!!!
Your comments and support validates my work.
Lois... I'll sign 'cause God told you I could. : )
Sylvia Plath just signed this petition!!! (thank you, Sylvia!!)
However, as much I think this piece deserves recognition, I want to go on record as saying: Mr. Mustard, I hope you know the writing itself needs no help from us. It stands on its own merit.
Wonderful writing is wonderful writing.
I don't fully understand either site. Is it listed in the right category/categories?
Freakin' John Lennon just signed this petition!! (all you need is love, love, love)
I have to say that between all the ratings and comments Mr. Mustard received, Cartouches's post and the excellent response to my petition.... I feel he knows we all thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated his post. Kudos to Mr. Mustard for inspiring us into action!!! And, this may lead to a change. For posts that do not make the cover, but are totally reader worthy... maybe we can have OS membership awards of some type. Of course, we do not want it to become a popularity contest. No hurt feelings!
Mr. Mustard, your piece was exquisite!

Ralph Nader just signed too!! (thanks, Ralph!)
Hey, if the President can sign this petition, anyone can sign!!
signed,sealed,and delivered.
A head's up that there's a lot of brilliance being tossed about on OS today. (I suspect Mercury no longer being in retrograde.) But I also really liked this Gwool's post:

Beth Mann, I read GWOOL today too, commented and rated! Love it!
Thank you all for stopping by and letting everyone on OS know we truly appreciate great writing when we see it. If it doesn't make the cover or EP, so be it, but the Great OS has spoken!!
Mr. Mustard, you have lifted our hearts with your sad, yet so real, post. Thank you for being here!

It seems that 90% of OS cover material is political crap. I stress the word crap - because with the world in the state that it's in and many lives turned upside down, WHO NEEDS MORE SHIT TO READ??? Not me! If it's political I avoid it like the Bubonic Plague! The other favorite for front page placement seems to be TV shows. Who the hell cares? If I wanted to see what was on tv, I'd watch freaking tv! Then there are few regulars of exceptionally long winded posts I suspect are supposed to be funny but the humor escapes me. Hmmmmm with these front page picks, doesn't make OS look too enticing to a newcomer or someone interested in reading something artfully written and meaningful, such as our dear Mr. Mustard's post. It's a crying shame. It truly is.
