Senator Byrd Must Resign
Sign Now
Recent comments by Senator Trent Lott (R-MS) involving Senator Strom Thurmond's 1948 presidential candidacy supporting segregation have created a controversy that may force the Senator to step aside as leader of the Senate Republicans. This petition asks that the same standards be applied to Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) ,who is the current President pro tempore of the US Senate, and demands that he resign from any leadership post in the 108th Congress for saying the following racist comments on National television 21 months ago.
"My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that," the senator recalled. "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time-I'm going to use that word."
America does not need to have a Senator like Robert Byrd as a leader in the US Senate or even as the Ranking member of a committee.

Absolutely, Byrd must resign. He is past his years, he is nothing but deadwood to the Senate, always, ALWAYS holding up legislation. He is a racist of the highest degree. It is a disgrace to West Virginia and the Senate that this man is allowed to continu

If one goes, the other has to, as well. No one hates the KKK and what it stands for more than I do and I think that Senator Byrd should resign. Lott was stupid to say what he did though.

Senator Byrd is truly unable to performs his duties. He is obviously suffering from some sort of dementia and is an embarassment to the senate.

A double standard is being applied and Sen. Byrd needs to be subject to the same standards of decency as Sen. Lott.

I am appalled that a KKK recruiter who has recently used racist language on national TV has been allowed to stay in the Senate.

If we can not believe Senator Lott that he is sorry, why should we believe that senator Byrd has changed from his KKK ways? Byrd must Go!!
