Wexler Calls for Impeachment
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) is calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney and he is deadly serious. Wexler has joined three other members of the House Judiciary Committee in support of a resolution Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) introduced last month (H. Res. 799), and unbelievably made it to the committee for review. The resolution has obviously not received the attention some members of the committee would prefer, therefore Wexler has joined the group and taken the matter to the public via a new Web site.
Wexler appears to be leading this group now (it is his Web site), which includes, Representatives Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). The three Representatives wrote an op-ed on the merits of impeaching Cheney’s impeachment and reportedly sent it to several major news outlets, such as the New York Times, but were turned down by every news organization. Hence, the justification for the Web site.
The Web site, wexlerwantshearings.com, opened December 13 and received a stunning 50,000 responses the first day. As of this post, 87,111 people have signed the online petition. up to join their campaign. Ralphlopez at MyDD believes Wexler “could easily get closer to 500,000 signatures over the next few days.”
This is the video Wexler features on the site.
