The purpose of this petition is to force Governor Ed Rendell in to re-instating paychecks to all our state troopers who he has forced to perform their duties and used as a pawn for his own political agenda with affording them and their families the wages and respect they so richly deserve.This is also a call to have Governor Rendell removed as the governor for our state as he has shown his lack of leadership skills by the recent actions he has taken.Our State Troopers make many sacrifices and put their lives on the line every day for all the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania without even a heartfelt thank you for the awesome jobs they do.I for one am embarrassed to admit I am a citizen of a state that shows show much disrespect for it's law enforcement and allows their Governor to behave in such a way.
