Petition to get rid of Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz, once a top Bush aide on the Iraq war, has been an ineffective president of the World Bank--and now he's been caught in a corruption scandal. Sign the petition calling for him to be fired.

Paul Wolfowitz -- architect of the Iraq war, president of the World Bank, and self-styled scourge of corruption -- has been caught red-handed in corruption himself, arranging a huge pay raise for his girlfriend and hiding the evidence.

Wolfowitz's rigid ideology, unilateral decision-making, and domineering style have demoralized the Bank's staff and undercut the Bank's efforts to reduce poverty. This corruption scandal could be the last straw. World Bank board members are deciding on his fate now--and a massive global outcry could ensure that his presidency comes to an end.
