Prevent Rep. Emerson (MO-8) From Being Sworn Into the 113th US Congress

By signing this petition you are expressing that Rep. Jo Ann Emerson should not be sworn into the next US congressional session in order to save the taxpayers of Missouri from funding a special election to replace her.

We, the following citizens of the Missouri 8th Congressional District, not wishing to be a burden on our fellow citizens from the State of Missouri through the funding of a special election, demand that due to her inability to fulfill her obligations, and her publically announced retirement from US Congress on February 8, 2013, our duly elected representative to the United States House of Representatives, Jo Ann Emerson, not be sworn into the 113th session of the United States Congress, and that the candidate who finished with the next highest vote total for the office of US Representative (MO-8) in the election of November 6, 2012, Jack Rushin, be sworn in in her stead.
