The idea with this petition is to build signatures continually throughout the election cycle and present the written version at each debate (or other political venue) as needed in order to let the mainstream media know that the American people are keeping close tabs on their treatment of Dr. Paul's campaign. If we have enough signatures to make an impression by the next debate (CNN in NH) we will present the first version at that time.
Please take the time to read and sign the petition. Here is the link:

Here is what the petition says:
WHEREAS MSNBC's own website contains proof via their own post-debate polling that Dr. Paul won the first debate in San Diego on 5-3-07 handily, and WHEREAS Fox News's own call-in polls during and after their sponsored 5-15-07 debate showed that Ron Paul came in a close second at this debate in South Carolina, and WHEREAS an ABC poll showed Dr. Paul as the Republican favorite of over 80% of those participating, and...
WHEREAS this type of performance for someone who was considered a "dark horse" or "third tier" candidate by the major media prior to those achievements would normally merit extraordinary positive coverage by the major media of all types (print, etlectronic, television, radio, etc.) including talk of a "phenomenal breakthrough" in the Congressman's campaign, and...
The undersigned hereby demand that from this point forward Dr. Paul be given the status that he has earned of being referred to as a "first-tier candidate" in the reporting done by all named television news agencies, that he be issued a public apology for the aggregious acts of slander, disrespect and false reporting to which he has thus far been submitted, and that he be given equal time and equal treatment in all future Republican debates with the candidates that were previously annointed as the "Republican frontrunners" by the same named news agencies.
Finally, should the named news agencies continue to slander, mischaracterize, and denigrate Dr. Paul and to continue to under-report or hide the true results of their own polling data to this point and from this point, the undersigned will call upon their Congressional representatives for Special Joint Hearings to be done well before the Republican primiray season begins with regard to these matters, such hearings to take place within the United States Congress and to be of sufficient scope and duration to ascertain proper remedies to the damage that has already been done as a result of the actions of the named news agencies to the democratic process.
Given under our hand on this day,
The undersigned....
