Partly in response to MoveOn.org’s slander of Gen. David Petraeus as a traitor (yes, that’s what they said: Webster’s New World Dictionary defines “betray” as “to help the enemy … to be a traitor”) there is now a grassroots petition supporting General Petraeus and his troops.

The petition was started by a group of leading veteran and military family organizations including Vets for Freedom, Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, Military Families Voice of Victory, and Gathering of Eagles.

The groups involved in this effort are calling on TV and radio talk show hosts, columnists and bloggers to join the effort by talking, writing and blogging about the Internet petition to their audiences, putting a copy of the petition or a link to the Internet petition on their Web sites, and sending messages to their email lists directing recipients to the Internet petition.

A copy of the petition can be found (and signed) here.

If you want to host the petition on a Web site or blog, please contact [email protected].
