Text of the petition follows:

To: Senator John McCain, Governor Palin and McCain campaign advisers
We request you provide the citizens of the United States with the opportunity to see Governor Palin interviewed by a variety of news media outlets.

This election is a crucial one to us in terms of a wide range of domestic and foreign policy issues. Given the current concerns about numerous topics including health care, the rise in unemployment, the tense relations between Russia and Georgia, and the ongoing war in Iraq, it is neither sufficient nor acceptable that we hear Governor Palin’s opinions and ideas only through pre-written speeches, press releases and select interviews with “soft” and “friendly” news sources such as People magazine and Fox News.

In less than 60 days, Senator McCain and Governor Palin could be elected President and Vice President of the United States. If elected, Senator McCain will be the oldest individual to be voted into the presidency. We simply do not know enough about Governor Palin’s thoughts on important and pressing national and international issues to know if she is ready to become President, should something happen to Senator McCain.

Thus, this petition indicates our desire for you to immediately release Governor Palin for interviews with diverse media sources including: broadcast and cable networks; national and local newspapers; news magazines; online journalistic outlets; public television and radio.

If in fact you want us to make decisions that are in the best interest of the country – and do not want us to “judge” Governor Palin by the rumors and gossip currently circulating – then, without further delay, you will make her available to the press. Further, we request you do not set conditions or place stipulations on what can and cannot be asked.
Sincerely,

1. The campaign says not until she is treated as everyone's superior

with reporters and the public ingratiating themselves to her. What is the idea - Queen Palin?
