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

DU has a link to the petition on their site.

They say we're "carrying their water" for them but I'm not sure why they want this investigation. From another thread over there I gathered that they seem to think the R's did something wrong (stole it) and it will backfire.

Even with the media (except Fox) covering for the D's by mostly ignoring the memo I don't see it backfiring. Maybe just going away, but not backfiring.

Uh oh, I think the DU'ers might have caught on to the fact their signatures were working against them and helping us. There hasn't been a DU'er signature in over 20 signatures. LOL!!

[dixie sass]

248 Signatures. Have let the SC FReepers and others know and am sending link by email.

[my right]

I was amazed a the number of anti Bush comments on this petition. Evidently Du is organizing against us unorganized conservatives.

I wouldn't doubt that someone wasn't paying for this opposition like someone pays for the professional liberal protestors.

[Sindarian]

Signed and bumped.

[RGVTx]

Now that's hilarious. I love the way the DU'ers fool themselves with their own propaganda.

If they really thought this petition helps their cause, then it is curious why they've stopped signing it themselves.

(think they'll take my bait? hehe)

[areafiftyone]

I just got my confirm in my e-mail confirming I signed the petition. I said the Democrats must be investigated and Rockefeller must resign.

[RGVTx]

I found my confirmation in my spamblocker file..lol. Had to retrieve it.

I notice the DU'ers have completely stopped signing the petition. Darn! They didn't take my bait.

[areafiftyone]

They did for a while and another DUer might just repost it you never know with those guys.

[RGVTx]

They took the bait!! DU'ers are once again signing the petition and helping OUR cause. Way to go, DU'ers! LOL!!!

They don't realize that, when I get the petition, it is in a spreadsheet format, and I can toss the comments I don't like.

[Geezerette]

Done! Thanks!

[RGVTx]

Oh how sweet it is!

One thing I'm noticing about the signers of the petition are couples signing it. Hubby and I signed up individually. I figure if you sign up together it records as one signature instead of two. Signing up individually will get the numbers up faster, folks.

"...check out the web page I designed last night that has the text of the memo, Senator Miller's response and links to email representatives, etc."

Thanks, arasina!!

"...when I get the petition, it is in a spreadsheet format, and I can toss the comments I don't like.

Thanks, that's good info to know.
