Card has been the subject of a number of attacks by those who want him to think like them, and are trying to force DC to fire Card simply for standing up for what he believes.
Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American Way. Superman would stand up for Card's right to free thought and free speech, even when it isn't popular. We think DC Comics should do the same.
One of the petition signers, Ken Marshall, provided the following quote, which is very fitting: "Be not intimidated, therefore, by any terrors, from publishing with the utmost freedom whatever can be warranted by the laws of your country; nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty by any pretenses of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice. " - John Adams

The debate in the comments is exactly why this petition matters. Free thought requires protecting viewpoints we might dislike.

Talk about the hypocrisy of the tolerant. Everyone trying to get a man fired for his personal beliefs need to take a good hard look at their own propensity for intolerance.
I'm against bigotry, but I'm also against bullies. Trying to get someone penalized for expressing a contrary opinion is a hypocritical tactic for so-called proponents of tolerance.
Americans! Stand up for the right to have and express an opinion. Resist the bullies who try to stifle free speech and thought. Isn't it interesting that those who have preached tolerance now prove to be intolerant themselves.
Keep politics out of comics. I just want to read a good superman story. People need to grow up and let the guy work.
Ridiculous to try and ruin a career over where someone stands on social issues. The intolerance here is actually stunning.
Hollywood should not blacklist anyone due to their Christian faith.
