Alaska Hockey Moms are fed up and calling on Alaskans and US citizens to sign a petition compelling the GOP and Alaskan Legislature to continue with the investigation as scheduled.
This is not a diary, but a request for all to go to their site, read and then consider signing the petition.
I did not want this request to get lost in open threads, so if there are requests that I delete, because in fact it is not a diary, then I will.
Here's a link to the petition:
They have over 1600 signatures in 72 hours, I would like to get their numbers up!!!

Sign The Troopergate Petition: Over 1600 in 72 hours!

As GOP lawmakers sue to impede the Troopergate investigation, I call on all Alaskans, and every US citizen to stand up and sign this petition to require lawmakers to continue the Troopergate investigation, without delays or conditions of any kind.
Sorry McCain and Palin, we’re not waiting until after the election to find out if you are guilty of abusing your power. We have a right to know the facts before you ask Americans to cast our trust in you at the ballots. We have suffered enough the last 8 years and we are drawing the line here. You can’t "reform" Washington by killing a bipartisan investigation - claiming the Democrats have tainted it - because it inconveniences you and your campaign.
What are you hiding?
If you are the true "reformers" you claim to be, stand up and face this investigation with honor and dignity. It’s what a reformer would do. That is, unless, you are admitting to abuse of power and misleading millions of Americans into believing you are the anti-establishment change agent you convinced your base that you were at the Convention.
Athletes practice their entire lives for a single opportunity at the Olympics. If they get caught using a drug or an unapproved performance enhancer, they don’t get to finish the Olympics. And their use of performance enhancers has no influence on National Security, public policy, the economy or human rights.
So if you really are innocent of theses charges and you want to convince Americans you have what it takes to turn Washington politics around... Here’s your first real chance to lead reform by example and face this investigation honestly and transparently.
