Kerry asks for supporters to sign Rumsfeld recall petition

BOSTON -- U.S. Sen. John Kerry has begun circulating an e-mail letter calling for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to be replaced, and includes a link to an online petition asking President Bush to remove him.

ADVERTISEMENT Kerry, who recently returned from a Middle East trip that included a visit to Iraq, wrote in the letter "please join me in my call for President Bush to fire Donald Rumsfeld."

"He's the man responsible for the well-being of our troops. He's neglected his duty. He's made excuses. It's time for him to go," Kerry wrote.

The letter, which was paid for by Friends of John Kerry, linked to the petition posted on Kerry's campaign Web site. Kerry, a Democrat, lost to Bush in November's presidential election.

The letter chastised President Bush for recent comments about Iraq, and said that "If you care about restoring our credibility around the world and our credibility with our troops on the ground in Iraq, you've got to start by removing Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense."

It was not immediately how many people, if any, had signed the petition on Tuesday night. A call to a campaign spokesman for Kerry was not immediately returned.

How about a public effort to raise (again) the fact that he has not signed a SF 180 and that he is continuing to withhold his records from public scrutiny?

Why not, it should be a Public accessable record, if he's holding a public office! What's he hiding, or are they in the process of scrubbing it clean now?!

I wouldn't be surprised to see JFK travel a good halfway down the Al Gore road, if not more than halfway.
