Time for Another Big Impeachment Push, Folks!

By Dave Lindorff, OpEdNews

Readers of this website helped mightily to get 55,000 people to sign on to wexlerwantshearings.com, the site Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) set up on Friday to elicit public support for his call, made jointly with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), for the House Judiciary Committee to begin immediate hearings on Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s bill (H Res 799) for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.UPDATE! This is working. Since I filed this story in mid-afternoon, the number of signers has jumped by 10,000 to 90,000. We can break 100,000 tonight.

Although this dramatic development in the impeachment movement of having three senior members of the House Judiciary Committee join in calling for hearings has still not been reported by any mainstream news organization, by early this afternoon, the number of signers on the website had grown to 80,000. And people are adding their names at a rate of almost one per second.
