Florida Representative Robert Wexler is steadily closing in on 200,000 signatures on an online petition he posted in December calling for citizen support of impeachment proceedings commencing at once against Vice President Richard B. Cheney.
Rep. Wexler, a member of the House Judiciary Committee where impeachment proceedings are considered, has said that he plans to submit this list to the HJC when the House of Representatives returns to session the week of January 15th.
Former Democratic Party Presidential nominee Senator George McGovern announced today that he has finally painfully come to agree that impeachment hearings are warranted and are in the best interest of the nation. McGovern did so in an article published in Sunday’s Washington Post entitled: Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.
If you agree with Rep. Wexler and Senator McGovern and believe that an investigation of Cheney’s pre-war statements and actions is warranted and are interested in adding your name to the petition, you can do so online at: www.WexlerWantsHearings.com

We need leadership on congress. Both Reid and Pelosi should resign and then they could be replaced with someone who is willing and able to do the job for which we sent them to congress .
I’m just very thankful that Representative Wexler and former Senator, and soundly defeated presidential candidate, George Mc Govern are not in charge of the defense of this country. I suppose it’s okay for Wexler to pursue this rather then spend time doing constructive work for the people of Florida. I suppose he has right to do it, but an ice cube in hell has more of a chance to survive then the petiions of impeachment, because it just doesn’t bode well with a vast, vast majority of Americans. He can’t even get liberal Democrats excited about impeachment. His petition numbers are like a “grain of sand” on the Florida beach!! Is he still going to be going after President Bush and Vice President Cheney in November ’08? Perhaps he could go after the President of Iran after our elections; that will have about the same impact…maybe he’ll try and impeach the Republican president in 08 too!!
