You can petition all you want. It'll be an exercise in futility. John F'n Kerry was granted either amnesty or pardon by Carter and the United States Navy at the direction of the Commander in Chief.

Give up the petition, but demand Kerry sign the form 180 and spread the word of his traitorous acts.

All Vietnam Vets were given amnesty by Newly elected President Jimmy (smells more every day)Carter. However it would take a pardon AFTER conviction, to excuse warcrimes or false testimony to the Congress. I don't know that Bush would give it?
