declare its role, if any, in the dropping of charges against Ziyad Abid 9 days after Obama's visit to Johnson County.

This petition is simply to garner an official response from the Obama administration to the dropping of charges against Ziyad Abid by Johnson County, Missouri. The charges were dropped against the Saudi National after a somewhat sudden and unexpected visit to the area by President Obama. This coincidental timing is compounded by the Saudi Arabian Government's active involvement in the case, giving it a political dimension. While with-holding judgement, the signatories simply request the administration to make a public statement explaining whatever involvement, if any, it had with the case. This would be preferable for everyone to speculation and rumors in the absence of a public position by the administration.
