HELENA – Human rights groups and citizens from across the country who
are outraged by the revelation of a federal judge’s racist email about
President Barack Obama are now calling on Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull to step down.

Travis McAdam, executive director of the Montana Human Rights Network, said citizens
from throughout Montana and across the country are flooding the organization’s phone
lines and email inbox with angry calls for Cebull to be removed from his post as the
state’s top federal judge.

“People are really angry and motivated and wanting to do something,” McAdam said Thursday.

The Montana Human Rights Network and other groups are now circulating
online petitions calling for Cebull to resign.
