The petition to the President to remove Carmen Ortiz from the position of District Attorney for the state of Massachusetts has reached the number of signatures that is supposed to deserve a response from the Whitehouse.

This does not mean the campaign is over; but it does mean we are off to a good start. The next step is for you. Yes, you. To write or call your US Representative, and both of your Senators, ask them to help bring proportionality, reason and mercy back to our justice system; ask them to further the cause of open knowledge, and ask them to hold the president to account for the actions of Ms. Ortiz and Mr. Heymann.

Thank you for your help.
