Petition: CBS Must Re-Hire General Batiste

Watch the ad that got him fired

It took CBS two weeks to fire Don Imus for racist and misogynistic comments, but it only took them two days to fire respected General John Batiste for speaking out against the president on the war.

It's censorship, pure and simple. We're aiming to get over 100,000 messages demanding that CBS re-hire Major General Batiste by the end of the week. Can you help?

To learn more about Major General Batiste, please read the New York Times article.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to Leslie Moonves, President and CEO of CBS Corporation and Sean McManus, President of CBS News.

Full petition text:
"CBS should not censor people who are critical of President Bush's policy in Iraq. CBS must re-hire Major General Batiste."
