Dear MoveOn member,

Since yesterday afternoon, when we launched the petition, over 200,000 of us signed up to support Senator Russ Feingold's call to censure President Bush for his illegal wiretapping. Now, Republicans are on the attack—Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) even accused Feingold of "siding with the terrorists,"1 and the Republican National Committee is mounting a petition against him.

We've got to work quickly to show other senators and the media that hundreds of thousands of us support Senator Feingold and the rule of law. So, we're increasing our goal: we want to get 350,000 signers by the end of the week. Can you sign our petition asking Congress to censure President Bush for his illegal wiretapping?

And can you pass this on to friends and family and ask them to sign, too? If we reach our goal, we'll personally deliver your comments to your senators to show them how much this issue matters to their constituents. And we'll send all 350,000 signatures and comments to Senator Feingold to show our support for his leadership.

UPDATE: Neat! Look what they just sent me now:

Subject: Thanks for signing our petition!

Dear friend,

Thank you. Your name has been added to the petition and your comments will be delivered to your senators and representative.

Your senators need to hear from you right away. It's unclear how many of Senator Feingold's colleagues will stand with him in this important fight. Can you call Sens. Feinstein and Boxer and ask them to join Senator Feingold in defending our Constitution and the rule of law? Your call will show Sens. Feinstein and Boxer how much this matters to people in their state.

Only I did no such thing.

How many people are really signing their petition? Or are they just adding random signatures for people? You know, just to help out? Because they know their subscribers are busy people and all?
