Neither Senators nor Congressmen hear us! I think they will hear this - if you also hear it and act!

PETITION TO: MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE

PETITION TITLE: ARM OUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS AND SEND THEM TO IRAQ TO FIGHT THE WAR FOR WHICH THEY VOTED!

I Demand, by signing this Petition, that my U.S. representatives and senator(s) who voted for the war in Iraq each serve as a noncommissioned officer in a front line infantry division for 30 days on a rotation basis whereby when one member of the House or Senate completes his 30-day tour, another member shall begin a 10-day Basic Training Session to be followed immediately by his 30-day tour in Iraq - until all members of both the House and the Senate have served their 30 days in combat.

If after one complete rotation of all members of both the House and Senate the war is still in progress, this schedule will repeat and repeat, ad infinitum, until the war ends.

This opportunity for our U.S. Representatives and Senators to serve their country, to risk their lives fighting in Iraq as they have asked others Americans, many of them not yet 21 years old, to risk their lives fighting in Iraq should make our Congressmen and Senators proud! They will be richer for knowing first hand what the privileged rarely have the opportunity to know: how it feels to kill men, women, and children whom they have labeled our enemies and how it feels to know that these so-labeled enemies are trying to kill them!

This time they spend fighting a war they have voted for and supported by their and our taxes, to the point of bankrupting our country, should be regarded by them as a privilege from which they will not be excused under any circumstances short of a stroke or heart attack or other seriously critical health condition which can be independently verified by examination by a physician of the people’s choosing. A schedule of 30-day rotations of tours in Iraq is to be prepared so that the business of the House and Senate will not be interrupted.

Our leaders shall be given 10 days of basic training in the use of weaponry that they will be using in Iraq, which ten days will immediately precede their 30-day tours of duty in Iraq.

By signing this Petition you, an American citizen 17 years of age or older, are communicating that this rule shall, upon the collection of 1,000,000 signatures, become a law which shall govern all present and future wars (or any hostilities which require that our soldiers use weapons) in which our U.S. Representatives and Senators involve our country.

This Petition will be presented to all members of the House and Senate upon the collection of the 1,000,000 signatures and scheduling of the 30-day tours of duty in Iraq for all members of the House and Senate who voted for the war shall immediately commence at that time.

Failure by any member of the House or Senate to abide by this demand on behalf of the American citizenry shall result in the loss of the elective office held by the guilty party.

Any guilty party shall thus, upon refusal to serve in Iraq, immediately retire from his or her position in the House/Senate upon the collection of 25,000 signatures on a separate Petition signed by 25,000 constituents of their state, 17 years of age or older, irrespective of petitioners’ political party.
