Just received an e-mail for Rep. Wexler. His New Years resolution?
Hold George Bush and Dick Cheney accountable for their abuses of power. Yeah, we're talking about this creep here:
And his hand puppet in the White House. Now that's the kind of resolution I can really get behind! More on the flip...
I'll share the entire e-mail with you :
Dear Bruce,
As we prepare to celebrate the New Year, my resolution is to hold George Bush and Dick Cheney accountable for their abuses of power.
In the last days, we have made real progress:
The mainstream media has awakened to this movement and to the extraordinary support you have given it. Your calls, letters, and emails have clearly made a difference. Already 140,000 people have joined us in demanding impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney by signing up at WexlerWantsHearings.com.
The power of these combined voices are already shaking up the established order on Capitol Hill and throughout the mainstream media:
This week, the Miami Herald printed an article on our efforts that was syndicated in papers across the country, including the Detroit Free Press, Philadelphia Inquirer, Fort Worth Telegram, Contra Costa Times, Sacramento Bee, Houston Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, NC News & Observer, and others.
In addition, CBS4 in Miami became the first station we know of to run a television segment about the call for hearings.
Perhaps most importantly, just this morning the Philadelphia Inquirer courageously ran the full editorial I drafted along with my fellow Judiciary Committee members Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (R-WI). Congratulations to the Inquirer for their willingness to publish a viewpoint that is so widely held by Americans – yet one that other leading national newspapers refused to publish.
We have come so far in just a few weeks. No longer can the mainstream media ignore our efforts and dismiss this cause as only part of the fringe left.
Already we are seeing tangible results from our combined effort. As you already know, Congress is well behind the American people on this issue. This is an uphill battle, but it's one that has to be fought. It should not be the whole agenda, but it needs be on the agenda.
When Congress reconvenes in January, I plan to present a list to my Judiciary Committee colleagues of every single person that signed up at WexlerWantsHearings.com. I will go to more of my colleagues and ask them to join a letter in support of hearings. We will build on the momentum you have given us.
Last week, I spent an hour on Blog Talk Radio outlining thoughts and answering questions in regards to this work. So many people hit their site that their servers temporarily went down. If you'd like to hear the archived audio, please click HERE.
Let's do our best to further spread the message so that list will be up to a quarter million. Please continue to blog, email friends, and insist that your family and friends sign up!
Thanks for your commitment.
Congressman Robert Wexler
P.S. I have been running online ads to make more people aware of our impeachment campaign. If you are interested in making a contribution to this effort you can click here.

Wexler in his own words:
I strongly urge you to add your name to the petition. Maybe we can anchor the Fourthbranch of government to a hearing chair, under oath, if enough of us try.
For as Dennis Kucinich said in a recent debate, at the end of this clip:

Why? From that signup website:
The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unnecessary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.
If Dick thinks he is a new branch of government that doesn't have to follow any rules, let we the citizens, with the help of our congresscritters, show him the truth. And I hope the door hits him in the ass on the way out!
And thanks for all the recommends. This hit the rec list fast!
May we always remember this brave citizen, Dr. Ben Marble, the man who told Dick to "Go F*** YOURSELF" on national TV:
IMPEACH DICK! IMPEACH HIM NOW!
