My Name Is Virgil Libertas And I am a Petition Whore.

My in box has become a repository for petitions spanning every progressive issue in existence:

SAVE THE PINK BREASTED MIAMI VICE LOUNGE LIZARD!
HELP THE CORINTHIAN LEATHER WORKERS!
FORCE SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE/PRESIDENT IMA HACK TO DO THIS!

Yes I read them all, and yes I sign most of them.

While some feel that it is just a baseless expression of non-existent power, I can not accept that interpretation of events. If I did, I would not be posting on this blog. So with no further ado I bring you this:

From Free Press:

Stop Taxpayer-funded Propaganda

On September 30, an official investigation found the White House violated the law when Bush administration officials used taxpayer funds to create "covert propaganda" and force the president's political agenda on an unsuspecting public.

It's time the White House told us what's being done in our name and with our money. Demand full disclosure of all propaganda crimes. Send a letter to Congress and the Justice Department and urge them to follow up the investigation with enforcement of the law.

If you believe in this issue then sign it. Petitions DO work! I have seen it happen. Will you always win, no. Even the Yankees lose, but if you don't play then do not complain when stuff you do not like happens.
