I gladly sign this petition not because I put all my hope in Kerry, but because I am deeply ashamed to call myself a "democrat" in a time when our "democratic" leaders have conveniently forgotten how to act upon the democratic principles they "say" ground their politics. I say, "stop selling us out," or rather by signing I refuse to any longer be bought and then sold by a party whose lack of integrity and dignity must be held accountable for the atrocities of the day: rather, shame on you.

Absolutely! It is time for those who are accountable to held accountable. Bu "those accountable" I do not mean all American taxpayers. Don't be afraid to sign because you think Bush will reach into your wallet. Too many of us know and can prove whose war this really is. "Crime doesn't pay," but global criminals must and will.
