At Debate Edwards Will Call on Bush to Fire Rove


At tonight's Democratic presidential debate, John Edwards will call on Bush to fire Karl Rove, according to email alerts from the Edwards campaign.

Edwards asks that you sign his petition so that it is clear that he is speaking for thousands, if not millions.

An excerpt from the campaign email follows:

There is a trail of rot making its way through our government—and it leads straight to Karl Rove.

New evidence shows that Rove has been methodically working to twist even the most impartial branches of the federal government—including the Justice Department—to serve the Republican Party at the expense of the American people.

Enough is enough. Impartial justice must be protected. Integrity in government must be defended. Karl Rove must be fired.

Tomorrow, John Edwards is going on national television to take part in the first presidential debate. And that night, he's going to call on George Bush to fire Karl Rove.

. . . John will speak out to the national media gathered to cover the presidential debate and call on President Bush to fire Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales. That means we have 24 hours to gather enough support to ensure that when John steps forward, he's not stepping forward alone.
