The Second Chance Campaign:
Result:
Well, in the end, Ty Pennington has proven himself by clearing up all the problems himself. In the end, he plead "no contest" to his charges for driving under the influence, one of which was dropped and he recieved 3 years probation, 90 days suspended driver's license, 90 days in an alcohol treatment program, and for community service, he will be attending a meeting with the "Mothers against Drunk Drivers" support group.
On top of this, he has made amends with ABC and they have since let him back on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as host. They have already filmed the season premire in Hawaii for the fall and we can look forward to seeing more of Ty in the future.
As for the 450 signatures this petition has gathered, they will be seeking another purpose. Instead of sending them to ABC, I have sent them directly to Ty himself, to show that we were all supportive of him and we wish him the best in the future. To everyone who signed this petition, thanks for supporting Ty during this incident.

Ty Pennington's hard work and endless determination to change the lives of needy families has changed the lives of not only those he helped in person on the show, but the millions and millions of people from all over the planet that he's inspired. It takes a great man like him to make such a massive impact on the world.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is more than just a TV show: its a miracle. Ty Pennington, the guy with the megaphone and the solid-gold ticker, is the miracle worker. He and Michael, Tracy, Paul, Paige, Preston, Ed, Eduardo, Tanya, and Johnny have given up their free time from their personal lives and time from their families to help people they've never even met, and it is for that reason it has become so popular not only in the United States, but all over the world. It may just be a sixty-minute program in the primetime lineup, but it's also one short hour that could change so much, again and again and again.
In his interview from his visit to London last year, he stated that he wishes to be able to do what he does for a long time to come, just like we all do. It's practically his dream. Because he has given so many families a second chance at the American Dream, now I think he deserves a second chance at his dream.
I think it's important to stand up for what you believe in. That's something I learned from Ty. He's still considered by many to be a True American Hero, and it's going to take more than a DUI to change that.
Finally, here's a message to Ty.
Ty, you've really proven yourself to be a true hero and a great role model. Despite your mistake, you took the bull by the horns and took responsibility for your actions. I can't imagine what you went through as you tried to get through this, but I'm sure it must not have been easy. We're all still rooting for you and hoping you get a second chance at staying on the show. Ty, you're one heck of a fighter, and because of you a lot of people have the confidence to face their problems the same way.
Thank You and God Bless
