The People vs. Alberto Gonzales

John Edwards '08
Gonzales must go. Earlier this week, more than 30,000 people added their voices to the call for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign.

Today, we are asking you to add your voice. Congress is about to leave for their August recess—which means that from this day forward, the pressure on Gonzales has to come from you.

Please, stand with 30,000 other Americans today and tell Alberto Gonzales to resign:

Why does Gonzales need to go? He has undermined the integrity of the Department of Justice, and turned it into a political arm of the Bush White House.

Just this week, The Washington Post reported that Gonzales' Justice Department urged a federal prosecutor to "slow down" in his case against the manufacturer of the addictive painkiller OxyContin.

The Justice Department made the request at the behest of an executive for the drugmaker, according to the Post. And when the prosecutor settled the case anyway, his name appeared on a list of U.S. Attorneys to be fired.

Yet despite the mounting evidence of political meddling in the firing of U.S. prosecutors—and the likelihood that Gonzales perjured himself before Congress last week to protect Bush's illegal spying on Americans—Dick Cheney this week called the Congressional investigation of Gonzales a "witch hunt" and told CBS that he's a "big fan" of one of the worst Attorneys General in our nation's history.

We're no fans of Gonzales. We're fans of the Constitution. And to restore the integrity of the U.S. Department of Justice, Gonzales has got to go.

Please, sign your name today—and forward this message on to 5 friends or family members who agree that it's time for Gonzales to resign:

When we reach our new goal of 40,000 signatures, we will deliver our BIG message to Gonzales—a giant Constitution with all 40,000 names on it.

Please, sign the petition today. Help us keep the pressure on—so that even in the dog days of August, Gonzales won't be able to ignore the will of the American people, or the Constitution he has sworn to uphold.

Thank you for taking action.

Sincerely,
Joe Trippi
