Petition: Senator Inhofe, you don't speak for me...

[RoyGBiv]

This is a petition actually intended for Oklahoma residents, but I figure Inhofe needs as big an earful as can be mustered, especially since he claims to invoke feelings among all Americans.

Senator Inhofe, when you say that you're more "outraged by the outrage" than by the treatment of the prisoners, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, when you say "they have American blood on their hands" while independent reports suggest that 70-90% of the people in those prisons were arrested by mistake, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, when you say that you're "outraged by the press" for reporting these abuses, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, when you say that non-governmental organizations (who discovered and reported these abuses) are "humanitarian do-gooders", YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, when you say that you "can't think of any American today as qualified as Donald Rumsfeld to prosecute this war," YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, when you imply that the stories of prison abuse are "fictitious", YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

Senator Inhofe, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME.

I'm not from Oklahoma, but I do have family in Tulsa and I'm sure they're as repulsed by what that whanker said yesterday as I am.

8. If you will check

his voting record and what he has stood for his whole political career you will find he only and I reiterate only votes way, way right. Being from the great state of Oklahoma I have had the responsibility to pay attention. Just my opinion

Even though he'll ignore it, I simply choose to exercise my right of petitioning the government ... while I still have it.

comment: It is a sad day when an elected representative of the citizens of this country uses "they did it too" as an excuse for violating International Law and common humanity.
