A Call to Replace Convicted Senator Ted Stevens

WHEREAS Senator Theodore Fulton Stevens has, during his 40 years in the U.S. Senate, established a notorious reputation for using Senate rules to benefit his friends and patrons at the expense of the taxpayers at large;

WHEREAS Senator Stevens was found GUILTY on October 27, 2008 on ALL SEVEN FELONY COUNTS;

WHEREAS Senator Stevens has refused to resign from his Senate seat despite the guilty verdict; and

THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY REQUEST that the leadership and members of the United States Senate remove Theodore Fulton Stevens from the Senate and that Governor Palin appoint a suitable replacement for Senator Stevens.

Sincerely,
