Petition asking Hillary to stop her divisive campaign
http://www.petitiononline.com/hrcstop/petition.html

To: Honorable Senator Hillary Clinton

We, the undersigned, ask the Honorable Senator Hillary Clinton to suspend campaign activities in this Democratic Primary. The People have spoken, and continue to do so. The message is clear, and for you to continue to campaign can only lead to divisiveness within the party.

We therefore, ask for you to think about the greater good of the party, as well as your own future aspirations, and suspend campaigning at this time.


If Hillary was running an honorable and positive campaign, I probably wouldn't be supporting something like this. But the fact is that she's decided to run a scorched earth campaign in order to bring down Barack Obama at the expense of our party's chances in November. When she held a press conference to angrily tell Obama "Shame on you" after failing to show the same anger towards Bush and the Republicans for Iraq, Katrina, and everything else, I knew she had lost perspective. Even if she succeeds in taking out Obama, we'll end up with a party so fractured that we will be unable to win in November, which should the final goal of everyone in the party regardless of who they support. It's time for her to bow out while she still has some dignity left.

3. MSM picked it up from Mark Penn and Bill Kristol,
with Kristol recommending a campaign of fear, to boot.

4. LMFAO. Online petitions are SOOOO effective.
No one pays attention to these silly things, but go right ahead and waste your time on it.

Why don't you take REAL petitions out in your neighborhoods and get some real signatures....

Oh yeah, I know why you don't...because you'd be laughed off the doorsteps of 99% of your neighbors.
