Read and sign: "The Declaration of New Orleans" petition

[undeterred]

To: The President of The United States of America, the United States Congress, and The American People.

In the name of the People of the United States of America, we declare:

That for the last four and a half years President Bush and his administration have served the interests of a few influential citizens rather than the interests of the American People.

That he has acted with contempt for the People and for the Constitution and the laws of the United States.

That an edict of the Supreme Court made him President in 2000 and fraud made him President again in 2004.

That he has pursued an unprecedented expansion of Executive powers that are a grave threat to the rights and liberties of the American People.

That he has made war on sovereign nations that are no threat to the American People.

That his "War on Terror" has cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives without bringing those responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 to justice.

That the failure of his leadership and administration in the present crisis in the City of New Orleans has resulted in the deaths of thousands more.

That he is derelict in every duty of his office.

Therefore, we resolve:

That President George W. Bush and his administration are illegitimate.

That he should resign from office and new elections should be held immediately.

That if he does not resign, the Congress of the United States should act to remove him from office.

That if the Congress should fail to act, the People will exercise their right to abolish this state and will establish a new government that will better secure their rights and liberties.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

1. Can't sign it. Sorry.

I wish I could since there is so much in there that I agree with. But there's no such thing as "new elections."

2. doesn't

The constitution says congress decides when to hold an election? If there was a removal of the administration they'd have the power to hold special elections.

3. I signed it. The People are sovereign, according to the

Constitution. So "new elections" can be called whenever the People demand them. The People can require that the government comply with their demands, or the people have the right and obligation to dissolve that government. It very well may have come to this...

5. this thing is getting freeped badly--now only 21 signatures?

I thought I saw this circulating a few days ago, but I admit I postponed signing it because so much else was going on and didn't want to take the time then. Is this the only place this petition appears? Does anybody know?
