So much for ignoring the recent pleas to keep this site a-political.

Subject: [obol] Online petition to Obama administration regarding lack of law
enforcement action on Malheur occupation
Hello Birders,
This was sent to me this morning and I thought some of you might be interested
too...
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/arrest-ammon-bundy-and-armed-occupiers-malheur-wildlife-refuge
This is what the petition says:
We petition the Obama administration to: Arrest Ammon Bundy and the armed
occupiers of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.
President Obama,
We respectfully request that you end the armed occupation of the Malheur
Wildlife Refuge immediately. At the very least, you owe the American people an
explanation as to why the area has not been isolated. Members of their
organization can come and go as they please, members of the community can visit
the occupied facility, and other right-wing extremist groups such as the Idaho
III% can show their support.
Law enforcement inaction up to this point is an egregious violation of public
safety and emboldens their erroneous assertions that the US Government has no
Constitutional Authority.
Please end the siege of the refuge and arraign Ammon Bundy as soon as possible.
Published Date: Jan 09, 2016
If this reaches 100k signatures by 2/8, the government must respond.
Thank you,
Lillian
