50,000 sign petition for Olbermann
Make that 55,000+ according to Norman Goldman.

As Danny Shea and others are well documenting, Keith Olbermann's suspension is getting a ton of attention. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is organizing the public to do something about it. In less than three hours, 50,000 MSNBC viewers signed our petition saying:

"Keith Olbermann made your network a success. If you want your viewers to keep tuning in to MSNBC, put Keith back on TV now!" Sign here.

Literally thousands of people have shared the petition on Facebook and Twitter, including Michael Moore who Tweeted, "Sign this emergency petition to @msnbc to put @KeithOlbermann back on the air."

In our email to PCCC members announcing the petition, we pointed out the irony of this move -- given this week's election:
