Bring Pluto Back!

Is Pluto a planet after all? " In 2015 we will finally see the disputed icy ball up close, when NASA's New Horizons mission reaches Pluto. Thus, revealing a landscape and an active atmosphere. Pluto's atmosphere expands and contracts over the seasons and is stirred by large-scale electromagnetic waves. This has been revealed by observing how Pluto's atmosphere bends light when it passes in front of stars." Just because we do not understand Pluto now, does not mean we should have the rights to eliminate it altogether. Pluto has and will always remain a part of the solar system. Is there a ruled timing as to how long it takes to clear debris within its gravitational orbit? I believe that Pluto clears the debris but within its' time-frame not ours considering the distance of the solar system. Any researched information about the planet Pluto will be useful when comparing it to other objects in the solar system or universe. That is why it should remain a named planet for such references. If you believe we should bring the planet back send an email to iau@iap.fr and tell them how important Pluto is to you!
