Jerry Lewis Medal of Freedom petition

FOS Neil Leiberman sends along a link to an online petition that calls for the president to award the Medal of Freedom to Jerry Lewis. Past recipients have included Johnny Carson, Bob Hope and the Pope. And Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb. And a lot of other folks, too numerous to mention. If you believe that Jerry Lewis belongs in that group, sign away! There’ve been 156 so far. The goal is 5,000. Considering the length of his career and the amount of money he’s raised for charity, it’s a wonder that one didn’t automatically appear in his mailbox one day.
