SEND KARL ROVE TO JAIL - PETITION HERE
http://sendkarlrovetojail.com/?utm_source=rgemail
This sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, it's not. We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action.
All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration.

UPDATE 2:40PM ET: 20k+ signatures, and Don Siegelman just challenged McCain to compel Rove to testify.

29. Well, Bill Gates sent me $15,986 cuz I forwarded on an email.
Lady Justice Butler-Sloss got all of 1000+ "signatures" from around the world and reversed her decision in the sentencing/leniency allowed to the 2 teenage boys who murdered little Jamie Bulger.

And the distribution of Shark Fins has stopped.

39. And I think the founders were shoved in jars as retribution.
There was an internet poll used to determine sentencing.

19. Meanwhile, Rove jetted to an "exotic getaway"
to hold a paid speech. Read it and fume, then sign the petition: http://www.newsweek.com/id/147776

From the article -

Democrats on the judiciary panel were outraged when they heard about Rove's overseas jaunt on the day he'd been ordered to testify. "That's just extremely contemptuous—it shows the disdain that he has for Congress and which he has encouraged in the Bush White House," said Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee. But Robert Luskin, Rove's lawyer, said the criticism was "fatuous" because, before he took off, Rove had been directed by White House counsel Fred Fielding not to show up. The reason: as a former presidential adviser, the White House views anything he might say to the panel as covered by executive privilege. "What was he supposed to do, sit at home with his lights off?" said Luskin.

20. DId you guys say it was okay to publish your name on the website?
Edited on Sun Jul-20-08 11:11 AM by gateley
This is what this administration has done to me. I'm thinking maybe they'll take these names and put them on a 'list' - maybe even just hassle you more (like Naomi Wolf) when you go through airport security.

What do you think?

Fascism.

24. We're small fish. Probably too small to catch
at this point, when 75 % of Americans are outspokenly fed up with the Booshmen.

That's just a hunch, though.

25. Yeah, but they can just grab the names off a petition
to get Rove indicted -- anti-American activity, you know.

75% of Americans aren't putting their names on the petition.

See? I've become afraid of my own government. You know, the government that is BY the people FOR the people? :grr:

26. I'm afraid of these sociopathic MIHOPers too, but
that doesn't stop me from sticking my neck out left and right to spit in their faces.

The truth is, I've reached a point where I'm willing to die, actually, rather than crouch before the beasts.

But everyone has to know their own threshold of tolerance. These are individual decisions.

Fuck you, George Bush and all those who enable your crime sprees as we speak! :patriot:

27. I'd be willing to die if it would make a difference.
Oddly, I'm not sure if I'd be willing to be inconvenienced at the airport or thrown in jail.. Don't know what that says about me. Maybe just that I don't think my inconvenience or incarceration would make a difference.

But yeah, Fuck you, George Bush and all those who enable your crime sprees as we speak! :patriot:

33. My (our) calls, letters, emails and threats directly to our representatives don't do
any good - why would an on-line petition?

We have no voice.

23. General population, no special priveleges, no country club white-collar prison.




It would prove to be a very humbling experience, I'm sure.
