POLITICS - Hit this petition! (Please!)

I found this petition linked on another gun board. It was initiated by U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor and pertains to the case currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. We need all the help we can get.

I can see the text of Mr. Cantor's endorsement plea to sign, but I did not see the text of the petition.

What does it actually say?

Thanks for the headsup. I signed it and just finished writing the WhiteHouse and my congressmen voicing my displeasure and asking to see if there is anything they can do to help.

So when did the Attorney General get renamed to Solicitor General? Sounds British to me. I signed the petition anyway, but that just seemed odd.

Also sent the URL to my two best shooting buddies.

RE: Solicitor General --

"The original Statutory Authorization Act of June 22, 1870, states, "There shall be in the Department of Justice an officer learned in the law, to assist the Attorney General in the performance of his duties to be called the Solicitor General." The Office of the Solicitor General is tasked to conduct all litigation on behalf of the United States in the Supreme Court, and to supervise the handling of litigation in the federal appellate courts. The general functions of the Office can be found at 28 CFR 0.20

I second this question. I'm 100% behind the idea of this but I won't put my name on a petetion I haven't read. Anyone have a link to the petetion itself?

Signed it already on another site and passed it on to my friends.
I am outraged at the administration for this betrayal.
