Edwards: Gonzo must go

Presidential hopeful former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) is making a "BIG" push this morning to pressure Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign.

In an e-mail that also solicits donations, Edwards' campaign manager Joe Trippi asks supporters to deliver a "simple message" to the embattled top attorney.

"Remember the Constitution that you were sworn to uphold? Remember what this country stands for? Remember the laws you were supposed to defend? If you do, then do what is right — just once — and resign."

"But then again, maybe it has been so long since Gonzales read the Constitution that he forgot what this great document says," Trippi adds. "Let's remind him."

The message also says Gonzales has "no respect for the rule of law, our rights and freedoms, or the Constitution," and says he "helped enable torture at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and illegal spying on Americans."

Trippi said for each signature, the Edwards campaign will send Gonzales a copy of the Constitution. And "With your help, we can send Gonzales a really BIG message."

The BIG message? If the campaign gets 25,000 signatures, "We're going to put them at the bottom of the largest copy of the Constitution you have ever seen, and deliver it straight to Gonzales' office at the Robert F. Kennedy Justice Department building in Washington, D.C. How big a copy of the Constitution? Big. Really big."
