Laura Denyes and I have been working on a petition for Cory Maye. We have asked dozens of webloggers for feedback in the hopes of getting the wording right. Maye’s case brought a supportive response from conservatives, libertarians and liberals and we were hoping to find a wording for our petition that might win an equally broad-based support. I hope that we have succeeded in this.

The intention of this petition is to bring attention to the case. We will print it out and mail it to the governor of Mississippi, and also to various newspapers. Although the case of Cory Maye has generated a great deal of interest in the blogosphere, it has yet to break through to the mainstream media. We aim to change that, and we hope the petition will be a useful tool to that end.

The petition is here.
