U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz has a job, and it isn't a popular one. She is charged with enforcing and prosecuting the laws of the United States of America. Whether the law itself is popular or whether the alleged defendant is innocent is not her responsibility to decide. Her job is to uphold the law of the duly elected representatives of "We the People" of the United States.
In response to the tragic suicide of Aaron Swartz, some have sought to express their grief through punishing Carmen Ortiz for doing her job.
Regardless of your feelings about the just or unjust nature of the law, sign the petition to support Carmen Ortiz and prevent others from punishing her for the courage and diligence in pursuing serious law breakers.
