Petition
We Democrats and other supporters of John Kerry for President petition the Democratic National Committee to forthwith disassociate itself from filmmaker Michael Moore and reject his incendiary, propagandistic methods. It is our steadfast belief that Michael Moore has violated the public trust by presenting misrepresentation, factual inaccuracy and dramatic re-creation as truth in his films. He has usurped time-honored ethics of journalism, to which documentarians are bound, and has employed classic techniques of deception cognate to totalitarian propaganda. While Michael Moore may assert positions consistent with many in the Democratic Party, such as his criticism of the Iraqi War and the resolution of the 2000 presidential election, his methods used to convey those positions are incommensurable with the ethos of the Democratic Party and with the founding principles of democracy, in which free expression must have as its object the struggle for truth.

We firmly believe that, should the Democratic leadership continue to embrace Michael Moore or fail to unequivocally condemn his tactics, it could very well be at the peril of John Kerry in the November election. We must not allow our vehement opposition to President Bush and his policies to blind us from truth. We must not abandon reason in favor of political expediency. On the contrary, we must march forward on the foundation of virtue, confident that truth is our greatest weapon. We Democrats and other supporters of John Kerry for President petition the Democratic National Committee to forthwith disassociate itself from filmmaker Michael Moore and reject his incendiary, propagandistic methods.
