Action alert: Rove must go!

I signed the petition, I added my own two cents. Take just a minute to sign the petition yourself. The URL is above, and it's sponsored by John Kerry. Like him or not, this is a chance to make your voice heard. Following is the text of my letter:

During the 2000 campaign, Bush and Cheney made much of "restoring honesty and integrity to the White House."

Speaking on behalf of the White House, Scott McClellan has stated (on Sept. 9, 2003) that Karl Rove played no role whatsoever in leaking Valerie Plame's name to the press.

This week, that has been shown to be an unequivocal lie.

George W. Bush once stated that disclosing the identity of a CIA agent was an act of treason. Given his background, he ought to know.

I'm prepared to see the White House choose-- once again-- secrecy, dishonesty, and obfuscation. But this is the exact opposite of what they promised the American people, and it's time for them to take reponsibility for their own actions.
