Why this petition matters
These changes are detrimental to the memory and legacy of one of the greatest musical artists of all time, Elvis Presley. Millions of Elvis fans the world over have enjoyed the airplane exhibit, which have become a fixture on Elvis Presley Boulevard. The demolition of Graceland Crossing and subsequent construction of an amusement park across from Graceland Mansion will forever ruin the charm, peacefulness and serenity of Elvis' beloved home and final resting place. It is not the appropriate location for such an attraction, and the property should remain as it is with no inappropriate changes. The current trend of the removal of Elvis' name from merchandise, advertisements. buildings. and programs and replacing it with the more generic “Graceland” is not something Elvis fans want to see. We respect and admire the man himself - and he deserved to be recognized. These changes will forever tarnish his image and standing in the passage of time, and revenue for EPE will decrease instead of increase. We as worldwide fans do not and will not support these changes. We WILL support EPE again if these changes are stopped, and Elvis Presley's legacy goes forward in what we feel are these positive ways.
