| 101 | Anonymous | I'm afraid that this administration, including the newly confirmed head of the Department of Injustice will continue to stonewall, and prevent a meaningful investigation of the facts of this case.
The first action of a Democratic President should be to pardon Governor Seigelman. |
| 102 | Tommy Hodges | Don Siegelman is a political prisoner in America. Of all the Countries to be a political prisioner. But, in the U.S.A. He is probably not the first but he is a political prisioner for sure. The charges against him were trumped up by the Karl Rove and Bush administration. He needs to be freed from all of this Republican power push and cleared of these totally Republican charges. |

| 105 | Helen Moore | The coziness of all the prosecutors and Judges as well as the coziness of the political operatives are all to grueling to me. |
| 106 | Karl Schaffer | This case is a travesty. Don Siegelman was jailed for being an opposition politcian, as often happens - unfortunately - in many countries of the world, and as has often happened to people less prominent than he in the United States. He is a political prisoner, jailed for being a popular Democrat in a southern state. The justice system has been misused by Bush loyalists to jail their opponents on trumped up charges. When are Bush and Cheney and Rove going to jail? |
| 107 | Anonymous | Don Siegleman was a good Governor ans is a good man. We want justice for him. Free Don Seigleman - he did nothing wrong! |
| 108 | Hope Dowd-List | It is absurd that such a petition should have to be launched in the United States. But I'm glad of the opportunity to lend my signature. It's long past time to put the various cogs of the criminal republican machine - so brazenly anti-american, so boldly treasonous, behind bars. I'm very sorry for Governor Siegelman, stunned by these acts, and mindful that, if not for the 2006 elections, none of this filthy business would likely have come to light. Time to prosecute all involved, starting with Karl Rove. There's a jail in that basement, congresspeople, please use it.
P.S. It wasn't a "Democrat Primary," it was a "Democratic Primary." |

| 110 | Clay Coury | I have known Don Siegelman since his marriage to Lori Allen and have never known a finer human being.
His trial and incarceration are the most blatant examples of political chicanery that I have witnessed in my 70 years. |

| 114 | Angela Greben | I sign this petition in agreement that Congress needs to fully investigate this case. I also want Don Siegelman set free and his name cleared by Congress. |

| 116 | Anthony Lyons | If there's a modicum of justice left in Alabama, Karl Rove will finally have his long overdue frogmarch and the corrupt culprits behind this railroading of justice will have their day in court in front of judges who believe in equal justice under the law. |
| 117 | Mickey Purnell | This matter needs to be thoroughly reviewed and Don Siegelman needs to be returned to his family - where he belongs. |
| 118 | jeff danneman | It's very scary as an American citizen to know that Washington is involved in such scandalous persecutions. |
| 119 | jeff danneman | It's very scary as an American citizen to know that Washington is involved in such scandalous persecutions. |
| 120 | Janet DeForest | Please pay attention to this case. His jail sentence is an injustice for all Alabamians and all Americans. |
| 121 | Brandon Weil | Don is innocent. Let him go! |
| 122 | Vernon Purnell | |
| 123 | Sheldon Rosenzweig | |
| 124 | Brian Keith O'Hara | This is what was wrong with The US Attorneys Scadal. Under Bush and Gonzales the DOJ became the department of perverted justice. Shame on you, George W. Bush. |
| 125 | Anonymous | It is an outrage that Don Siegelman remains in prison while more corrupt politicians in D.C. avoid any scrutiny. |
| 126 | Jay Barrell | The wrong person is in jail. Soon he will be replaced with all the neocon traitors, and things like Siegelman's incarceration will be in classroom textbooks under "travesties of justice under the Bush regime"...a VERY long list to be sure. |
| 127 | Dan Hayes | A political prosecution. Justice was not served. |

| 129 | Anonymous | HE IS A GREAT GUY HONEST HOW ANYONE COULD DO THIS TO HIM. SOMETIMES I THINK THERE IS MORE EVIL IN THIS WORLD THAN GOOD I HOPE AND PRAY HE COMES HOME SOON. |
| 130 | sheree read | I am sickened by this treasonous behavior, but not surprised, unfortunately. Anyone who does not stand against this false justice is guilty of condoning it. This is more proof--as if we needed more proof--of the criminality of the present administration. There needs to be a thorough investigation and a just as thorough housecleaning. Is Congress fearful of getting the same kind of treatment? Any Senator or Representative, or any other official, who is too afraid to stand up for what is right and just should not be in office. Self-protection should not come before serving the people. Corruption must be fought, or all is lost. |
| 131 | Brian Keith O'Hara | A criminal judge in a phony trial convicted him, after a phony US Attorney Leura Canary persecuted him on orders of treasonous Carl Rove. God Save America from the evil Emperor, George W. Bush. |
| 132 | Anonymous | As suggested, I just tried to directly contact the Judiciary Committee about this matter through its website. First, little or no information can be gained from the committee's website about this issue even using the "search" feature, and when attempting to contact the only Alabama member of the committee through his website it seems he is only interested in my point of view if I live in the sixth CD. My congressman is a Republican (Aderholt) and I know his staff is already tired of hearing from me on other issues, so what do I do and what do we do? It looks like Canary, Rove, and the Republicans have gotten their way as this tragic issue recedes into the past with little or no attention being focused on it. A petition with a few hundred or even a few thousand names will not do much to help. It sounds like we will have to do it ourselves. What kind of fund has been established to help the Governor and his family with legal and other expenses? Two, the effort needs some sort of organized publicity machine to keep the plight of the Governor and his family before the national and even international media, Don Siegelman certainly could be seen as a political prisoner by many, especially outside the country. (It looks like the Governor's daughter could help with this with her degree). Instead of moving to California to hunt a job why doesn't she stay here, or near her Dad, and make her efforts to get him out of prison asap her job. I bet she could make a living at it for herself as well. So who has any good ideas?

| 133 | David Smith | Don Siegelman would never have been investigated except for the fact that he was a Democrat running against a loyal "Bushie", Bob Riley. Criminal investigations into Karl Rove, et. al., should be brought immediately! |
| 134 | Deborah Weisdepp | |
| 135 | John Beam | The Bush administration is acting like the Nazi Regime. To think that these things are happening today , with the media and the internet when it is getting harder for the secrets to stay secrets, it is more then alarming. Either we rise up together are we all fall to these people who feed on money and greed. |
| 136 | Gary Gordon | Please get to the bottom of the Siegleman case ASAP. |
| 137 | Megan Williams | INVESTIGATE dammit! I am SICK of living in a GULAG while the REAL criminals go free...this is NOT the United States that I grew up in! |
| 138 | Demian Obregon | Free the man |
| 139 | Fern Ponoroff | This is an unbelievable story. Even if he actually did what his enemies say, why would a non-violent man get such a stiff prison sentence. The whole case must be thoroughly investigated because it reeks of corruption |

| 143 | Jude Hart | Keep up the effort to free Don. Finally saw the story on Dan Abrams on MSNBC. |

| 145 | Anonymous | This is a shameful miscarriage of justice; the wrong person is in jail.
I am a life long resident of Alabama and I vote. |

| 148 | Sam & Esther Davis | Don Siegelman is the most honest politician this state has ever had.
He is a political prisoner of Karl Rove, Jack Abromoff & crooked Republicans in the state of Alabama.
Free this decent, honest and hardworking man. He is a saint and an icon to thousands of us who believe so strongly in the impeccable ethics of the best governor the state of Alabama has ever seen. |
| 149 | William Crain | Injustice and injury, bodily or other wise if it happens to one it happens to us all. This is as slimmy crime. Even the CIA doesn't commit asassination, such as this is. Asassination and worse..
Would that the perpetrators of this slimmy crime get a fine dose on the back lash with hard time on the move, no contact with the outside; removed from ligitimate press; Refused the basic rights of law. |
