Wexler Impeachment Petition Tops 76,000 Signatures!

In just three days a massive amount of people have responded to the Wexler Wants Hearings petition Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) have put forth calling for immediate hearings on the impeachment of V.P. Dick Cheney.  

And the numbers continue to rise at a fast, steady pace.

This will sound cynical... But I hope there is real grit to this Wexler effort and that it's not just a campaign tactic in his upcoming challenge!

That thought had crossed my mind, too.  But, as I noted, I think perhaps this one could be different.  Not only do we have three Representatives backing this effort, one of them, Rep. Baldwin sits on the very Committee it's intended to be delivered to.

In that spirit, I feel that we must indeed support their call to loudly, unrepentantly, and defiantly make our demands known.  We must continue to spread the word to those who are not yet aware of the call and to unceasingly question why the major media is not picking up the story. I called both of my local papers to enquire about their awareness of this effort.  Neither had heard of it, but both said they'd investigate.  I urge you to do the same, since the national papers are actively ignoring it.  I will be following up with the local newspapers if they, too, choose to sidestep this.

I've added my voice to those 76,000+ folks who know what it will take to get our Nation back on track. I say our next aim is to put that number over 100,000.  Are you with us?
