Cheney Impeachment: Wexler Delivers Signatures to Congress

I don't know whether or not this has already been posted. If so, I'm sorry. (Wait, I'm not. This can't be posted too often!) Here is the e-mail I received from Wexler's office:

------------------------------------

Dear ****,

Last night, I took to the floor of the House of Representatives and outlined our case as to why this Congress must hold immediate hearings on Rep. Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment.

I didn’t do it alone: I was armed with nearly 200,000 signatures of support from you and so many others. Please watch the video of this speech and forward it to as many people as possible. I've posted it on the front page of www.WexlerWantsHearings.com

This morning, I delivered letters to all of my colleagues in the House of Representatives, urging them to support Cheney Impeachment Hearings. You can read a copy of both the letter to my colleagues as well as the letter to Chairman Conyers I am asking them to sign at:

Additionally, I have delivered to my colleagues in the Judiciary Committee a list of names who have signed up at www.WexlerWantsHearings.com. We now have almost 200,000 patriotic Americans dedicated to this cause.

We are beginning to make some progress. I have urged the Democratic Leadership to enforce the subpoenas being ignored by Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten by holding them in contempt of Congress.

This fight is not over. You must continue the pressure on your representatives and the media, or Congress will take no notice. That would be a historic mistake – one we must prevent Congress from making.

We stand at a critical juncture in our efforts. Forget all of those arguments that it is too late or that we have run out of time. You can’t run the clock out on our Constitution. Those of us dedicated to this fight – Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the online community, and millions of patriotic Americans – will keep the pressure on.


I will be furiously lobbying my fellow members of Congress to get behind these efforts and sign onto my letter to Chairman Conyers.

Please continue to spread the word and help deliver accountability to the corrupt Bush-Cheney administration.

With great respect,


Congressman Robert Wexler

7. Y'know, I have no problems with what Wexler is doing, but.....

I'd hate to think that getting a couple of hundred thousand signatures on a petition creates some moral or legal obligation for COngress to consider a particular matter. THe repubs could get a couple of hundred thousand signatures on almost any odious issue you can dream of at the drop of a hat....

But I like what Wexler is doing because it keeps the issue in the public eye and causes it to be discussed more at the grass roots.
