Karl Rove isn’t above the law. So why is he getting away with breaking it by ignoring a congressional subpoena over his involvement in the politically motivated prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman?
It’s time for the House Judiciary Committee to hold Rove accountable.
Sign our petition to Congress demanding that Karl Rove be held accountable for ignoring congressional subpoenas!

This weekend, The New York Times reported that Senator McCain said flatly that he opposed allowing gay couples to adopt. “I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption.”
Later, in an effort to backpedal, the McCain campaign put out a purported “clarification” of the Senator's position, stating that Senator McCain believes that “caring parental figures are better for the child than the alternative [i.e. — abandonment.]”
On July 11, John McCain emphatically said at a town hall that, "We haven't done enough. We have not done enough" on equal pay for women. Unfortunately, his strong words don't match his record.
