Here is the petition text:

 

To:  Senate Ethics Committee

The Democrat senators on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee are putting American lives at risk.

The Democrat memo that surfaced last week uncovered a detailed “plan” by Democrats on the Select Intelligence Committee to use the resources of that committee as a political tool against the White House. Under the guise of a non-partisan “investigation” the Democrats plan, as revealed by the memo, is to find something, anything, to “castigate the majority” and make it appear that “senior administration officials who made the case for. . . war [used]. . . dubious motives and methods.” They have already concluded that BEFORE conducting an investigation!

The memo admits that “[the Democrats] don't know what [they] will find,” yet they have already arrived at their conclusion! All they know is that they have an opportunity to use the power of the Select Intelligence Committee against the President, for political gain, and they “intend to take full advantage of it.”

Senator Zell Miller, a Democrat himself, had this to say about the memo:

“I have often said that the process in Washington is so politicized and polarized that it can’t even be put aside when we’re at war. Never has that been proved more true than the highly partisan and perhaps treasonous memo prepared for the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee.

“Of all the committees, this is the one single committee that should unquestionably be above partisan politics. The information it deals with should never, never be distorted, compromised or politicized in any shape, form or fashion. For it involves the lives of our soldiers and our citizens. Its actions should always be above reproach; its words never politicized.

“If what has happened here is not treason, it is its first cousin. The ones responsible - be they staff or elected or both should be dealt with quickly and severely sending a lesson to all that this kind of action will not be tolerated, ignored or excused.

“Heads should roll!”

We agree with Senator Miller. The Democrats are taking a very dangerous path. They are fostering distrust that will prevent the committee from getting information integral to saving American lives – such as the locations of terrorists with RPG launchers that can be used to down American helicopters. The Democrats have gone too far this time – they are forsaking American lives for political gain.

Under the principle of respondeat superior, the Democrat senators must be held responsible for the actions of their staff.

For all the above reasons, inter alia, we, the undersigned implore you to:

Conduct an exhaustive ethics investigation into the source of the memo and those associated with it.

Expel any members of the Senate found to be associated with the memo.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

After reading the signatures, I think my time would have been better spent firing some emails off to my senators--and I will do so.

I signed. So did a bunch of DUs.

Poor DU, they can't control themselves, can they? All that filthy language. It's because they don't have the brains and language skills to express an idea.

What is interesting is that the DU's are mimicing black ghetto talk. Sounds kind of racist to me. Aren't they supposed to want to protect blacks from us nasty racist Republicans? Ah, they show their true colors. They are the true racists.

What idea is there to express? It's okay to risk the lives of American military personnel, intelligence operatives, and the safety of Americans everywhere if ONLY to unseat the "selected not elected" President?

There's really nothing for them to say, so they talk about butt this and butt that.

Better than half of those signatures are DUer types doing their profanity-laced twist on FReeping the poll.

I just read some of the comments. I didn't read them when I signed. What a bunch of dopes those people are. It really shows their lack of intelligence and their lack of class. I guess this immature stupidity should be expected from them.

I've been following this petition since the beginning and yes, there are many DU signatures along with their garbage, but not half. It's actually much, much less than half. The good news is their signatures help get the petition bumped to the front page of the website for even more folks to see and sign.

In the mean time, with their vulgar potty mouths the DU'ers are showing their @$$e$ for all the world to see .

Yesterday the DU'ers were claiming they liked this petition. They were claiming it will lead to an investigation of the "watergate" type theft of the memo by Republicans. Now if they really believed that would they be entering obviously false signatures? Nope, they'd be rounding up as many legitimate DU'er signatures as possible.
Obviously, even DU'ers don't believe their own propaganda on this one.

973 signatures and climbing.
