This is an email I recieved from Democrats.com. Some of you may have received the same email. In any case, there is a link here to sign a PETITION. And there is also another link for sending emails. Let's get to work!!!!
Rep. Robert Wexler (FL-19) and two other Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee - Luis Gutierrez (IL-04) and Tammy Baldwin (WI-02) - today called on the committee to begin impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney.
They declared, "The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unneccesary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings."
The three Democrats wrote an op-ed to announce their position, but none of the nation's leading newspapers would publish it - just as they refuse to include impeachment in their polls, and just as they refuse to publish their own investigations of the crimes of the Bush Administration. Why? Because the Corporate Media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Republican Party, as it has been since the Reagan Revolution of 1980.
So this important announcement was made on a Blogcall hosted by Democrat.com, and was covered by progressive blogs - the only news media that serves the people, not the Corporations.
You can read the full op-ed at Rep. Wexler's new site - http://wexlerwantshearings.com - where you can also watch a powerful video by Wexler.
Rep. Wexler needs to collect 50,000 signatures to convince his Democratic colleagues that the American people truly support impeachment hearings. So please sign his petition:

You can also send an email to Wexler's other colleagues on Judiciary:

Please share this exciting news with your friends, your favorite blogs, and your favorite talk shows - including Air America Radio.

Not living in the USA and not being an American citizen, I cannot sign that petition, unfortunately.
By the way, I made that announcement a bit before you did, but my source was The Nation. :)-

didn't know it was a race. =) I just wanted to post the email that I received, and added the URL for completeness.

AngelinaH, it wasn't a race - it is more of a case of great minds seldom differing! :)

They got their 50,000. That really didn't take very long did it? They should set themselves a new goal, sort of like a victory lap for petitions. How about 150,000?

Cheney attended Yale University, but he flunked out. Cheney was twice prosecuted for and convicted of drunk driving. Cheney lied to former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey about the grounds for going to war in Iraq. Cheney is a pathological liar. Cheney is incompetent. Cheney would like to think that he is above the law. However, Cheney must pay for crimes against the United States and the world.
