56,000 Sign Onto Wexler Call For Impeachment Hearings
If you haven't yet, check out the website Wexler Wants Hearings, where Judiciary Committee members Robert Wexler (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) call for impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney. If you're the kind of weirdo who thinks the rule of law is a good thing, I strongly encourage you to sign the petition supporting them and then tell everyone you know about it. They have 56,000 people already in just two days, and the more clamor they hear from us here in Lilliput, the more willing they'll be to go further.

Posted by: Krinn DNZ at December 16, 2007 01:21 PMI signed. But there's no way that 56,000 people will be needed to work the radioactive waste facilities of Yucca Flats. So the question before us now is: what will happen to the overflow dissidents?

Posted by: dancewater at December 16, 2007 08:42 PMUrge Wexler, Baldwin and Guitterez to get behind Cindy Sheehan's call for the impeachment of Nancy Pellosi. While you're at it.

Posted by: me at December 17, 2007 03:13 AMbill, that would be doubly dumb. The point of her impeachment was that she wouldn't impeach Bush or Cheney. That is dumb in itself because she's effectively a figurehead. She can't act independently of the congressional party or she'll be replaced.
But there is no reason for impeaching her if impeachment of Bush or Cheney is moving forwards unless you're a Republican, or one of their tools, a Green, Libertarian, member of the DLC or similar. In which case you're glad of an excuse to attack the Democrats.
Me: I was out signing this petition- I sign ANY THAT MENTION IMPEACHMENT. And I call Nancy Pelosi @ 1-202-225-0100 and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT---have you?
Posted by: Mike Meyer at December 17, 2007 11:51 AMIf Nancy gets IMPEACHED---no problem---there will be ANOTHER Speaker of The House along directly.
Posted by: Mike Meyer at December 17, 2007 12:10 PMfirst, thanks Mike Meyers! It is 2:11 pst and it is at 81,576 and adding about 3k/hr. If the blogs will get behind this, it can go over 1 million by the time congress gets back to work on Jan 8, 08. I have been asking everybody to post the link and ask everybody to sign it and ask everybody else to post. This could be the most tremendous chain mail in history!. And thanks, tr, for posting today.
Whoops, they must have just updated, it's at 112034!
