MoveOn PAC: Restore the Rule of Law (Petition)

MoveOn PAC: Restore the Rule of Law
-----------------------------------
>From MoveOn Political Action
(link:http://political.moveon.org/ruleoflaw/)

On Monday, former Vice President Al Gore gave a speech about President
Bush's recent admission that he's wiretapping American citizens without
the warrants required by law. In the speech—which was sponsored by a
coalition of progressive and conservative groups—Gore said it plainly:
"What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compells the
conclusion that the president of the United States has been breaking the
law, repeatedly and persistently."

Breaking the law to spy on American citizens is a very serious abuse of
power, but many members of Congress think people will let it slide. So
we're launching a petition today to make it clear that we expect action.
The petition asks the Attorney General to appoint a special
prosecutor—like Patrick Fitzgerald—to find out the facts, and asks
Congress to hold a real investigation into what happened.

Can you help us reach 250,000 signers before we deliver it at the
Congressional hearings on Bush's wiretaps in early February? Just go to:

2. i have been interested to note the many times this
statement has been mis-quoted. gore said 'repeatedly and insistently' not persistently. why do you suppose it is so often mis-stated?

that said (asked?), i will sign the petition.
