Dear MoveOn member,Yadda, yadda
In the wake of revelations of torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners, John Kerry has launched an important petition calling for President Bush to fire Donald Rumsfeld. Getting rid of Secretary Rumsfeld would be a huge step forward for all of us who oppose the Bush war policy, and Kerry needs to hear our support. To sign on to the petition, go to:

Message from Mary Beth Cahill, Kerry Campaign Manager:
Dear Friend,
Help us show that America supports John Kerry in calling for Rumsfeld to resign. If 50,000 people sign this petition, that is a strong statement that will be recognized in the media -- and by the Bush-Cheney campaign.Further bloviations from ole Mary Beth elided. Can we see the list of signers online? I know the folks in Kerry's campaign wouldn't throw other people's email addresses over the fence, but I'm a tad curious as to how many times Screw You and Bite Me signed up.
And tell us again how MoveOn is a purely independent organization that isn't covered by the swell new campaign finance restrictions.
