ImpeachPAC Raises Over $20,000 in First WeekendImpeachPAC, a new political action committee created to support congressional candidates who favor impeaching Bush and Cheney, raised over $20,000 in its first weekend. ImpeachPAC was launched late Friday at www.impeachpac.org, and by early Sunday evening had raised $21,304 from 472 donors giving an average contribution of $45 each.
"The response to our announcement has been tremendous," said ImpeachPAC founder Bob Fertik. "As the CIA scandal sinks in, as the death toll increases in Iraq, as fresh evidence of pre-war lies is revealed, and as George Bush's polls fall through the floor, Americans are ready for a change. They want to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney - and they are ready to do it now," Fertik said.
Over the weekend, impeachment became a major discussion topic on progressive blogs and talk shows. Technorati lists 10,196 blog posts on "impeach Bush", while Google blog search lists 11,991 posts.
Despite broad support for impeachment - and months of lobbying by activists - not a single Democrat in Congress has yet introduced Articles of Impeachment. ImpeachPAC is using internet-based fundraising to prove to Democrats that a majority of Americans will support incumbents and candidates who step forward to begin the impeachment process.
