I received a note from former Governor Don Siegelman of a petition for Congress to hold Rove in contempt. The website is http://www.contemptforrove.com/. Here is his note:
Urge Congress to Find Rove in Contempt
Urge Congress to Find Rove in Contempt
Recently, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Karl Rove, demanding his testimony about his own role in the politicization of the Department of Justice and politically motivated prosecutions of Democratic leaders, including me.
Karl Rove refused to even show up for the hearing, claiming that Congress has no power to compel senior White House officials from testifying. That's outrageous. Yet again, Karl Rove has showed his callous disregard for the law and for Congress' constitutional role as a co-equal branch of government.
It's time for Congress to act: Forward an email to your Member of Congress below, urging him or her to support a contempt resolution against Karl Rove. If Karl Rove won't respond to a legitimate Congressional subpoena, it's time to turn up the heat.

The petition will be on the left hand side for others to sign.
