Hear Ye, Hear Ye

The Center for American Progress has a Declaration calling for the resignation or removal of John Ashcroft (R-Choad). It's patterned on the Declaration of Independence, and it's pretty good:

We cannot defeat fanatics by becoming fanatics ourselves, giving them the victory they seek by remaking our society in their image.

An Attorney General whose character is thus marked by acts which define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the chief law enforcement officer of a free people. We, therefore, as free men and women devoted to the security and well-being of these United States, solemnly publish and declare, That Attorney General John Ashcroft should be removed from office and a successor named who will restore the honor, integrity, and good name of the Department of Justice.

I'd prefer to see a warrant for his arrest, but you've gotta start somewhere, I suppose.
