Put a Dedication to My Late Grandfather in the Credits of the Home Video Version of Minions

The Issue

My name is Benjamin Johnson. I am the same autistic 11-year-old who created the petition for Playland to remove Freddy Krueger from the Flying Witch ride earlier this year. On March 20th, 2015, my grandfather Gerald Warren passed away at age 84. He was important to me, but it wasn't until I read his obituaries online that I realized how important he was to the country - he was Deputy Press Secretary to President Richard Nixon.

On June 12th, 2015, I went to go see the animated mega-hit movie Minions, starring Sandra Bullock and set in 1968. Early on in the movie, the Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob, while walking through New York City, pass a presidential campaign ad for Nixon. After reading a petition for the upcoming movie Vacation to honor the writer's father, a late fan who introduced him to the franchise, in the credits, I started thinking about the Nixon ad in Minions, and how my granddad had helped the President in the media at the time.

Universal, I want you to stand with my family and the Nixon Alumni Associaton and put a dedication to Gerald Warren, my grandfather, in the credits of the home entertainment release of Minions to honor his legacy and importance to the country.
