We are currently in the darkest of times in our nation's history. I find myself down and out, jobless due to economic layoffs. In moments like these, a spark of joy, a symbol of unity, and a touch of magic are things we desperately need. It is in this spirit of bringing a smile back to our faces and hope to our hearts that I propose changing the name of our beloved city from Prairie Du Chien to Prairie Pusheen.

Pusheen, the adorable, chubby cartoon cat who has captured the hearts of millions globally, embodies the warmth, cuteness, and whimsy we need right now. Her whimsical nature, especially as the majestic Pusheenicorn, serves as the perfect emblem of happiness and creativity—a mascot our city can rally behind. Imagine the tourism and newfound interest this name could attract, breathing new life into our local economy and community spirit.

Changing the city's name to Prairie Pusheen isn't just an act of frivolity. It signifies resilience, our ability to adapt even in the toughest of times, and our drive to find comfort and cheer when we need it most. Join me in supporting this change to not only enhance the identity of our city but to also inspire joy and positivity.

Please sign this petition to lend your voice to this lighthearted yet impactful change. Together, let's make Prairie Pusheen a beacon of optimism and unity in our challenging times.
