Request that Senator Arlen Specter resign from the Republican Party:

United States Senator Arlen Specter, Republican from Pennsylvania, was one of only three Republicans in both houses of congress to support the Democrats' Economic Stimulus Bill. Without the votes of those three republican senators, this bill, which wastefully spends an unprecedented $787 billion, could not have passed the senate. Senator Specter supported this bill in opposition to the distinctly expressed desires of his republican constituents. And, since January 2000, Sen. Specter has voted against the position of the GOP more than 600 times.

In addition to his support for the stimulus bill, Senator Specter has opposed the Republican Party on the following issues and more:

- The troop surge in Iraq

- The impeachment trial of President Clinton

- Restoring habeas corpus for suspected terrorists

- Lifting restrictions on stem cell research

- A constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

- "Card Check," a bill which would deny workers the right to a secret ballot regarding unionization

- Pro-life, anti-abortion legislation

Due to Senator Specter's repeated and harmful opposition to republican positions, it is necessary for the Republican National Committee to demand that Senator Specter resign his membership in the Republican Party.

Congress is about to begin voting on the FMA (Federal Marriage Ammendment). The FMA discriminates against homosexuals who wish to be married. It says that marriage can only take place between a man and a woman, not two men or two women because those aren't "right." Well, who are they to tell us what is morally right? Not everyone is of a religion that believes this. Some people are but still believe it is wrong to force their beliefs on others. Well, it IS wrong to force your beliefs on others, so PLEASE sign this petition to get the Pennsylvania senators to vote against the FMA and allow freedom to everyone.
