Rep. Wexler Update on Impeachment Movement
by Wexler For Congress Campaign
Tue Jan 15, 2008 at 09:49:42 AM PST
Dear Friends,

This evening, I am taking the floor of the House of Representatives to strongly reassert my call for hearings on the Articles of Impeachment of Vice President Cheney previously introduced by Dennis Kucinich.

Please watch it on CSPAN – I should be taking the floor tonight after the last vote, between 7-9PM Eastern.

Wexler For Congress Campaign's diary :: ::
Tomorrow, I will deliver a letter to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee, encouraging them to sign on to a letter in support of Cheney impeachment hearings to Chairman Conyers.

This is a critical point in the impeachment movement. Congress is very much aware of what we’re doing – thanks in part to your letters and calls – but there is much work to be done.

We must enforce the outstanding subpoenas and begin to question key witnesses. Impeachment will break through Executive Privilege and allow us to cut through the diversions and obstruction that has occurred these last months.

Over the next days, please take a moment to let your representative know your feelings about Impeachment and ask them to support our efforts. Please also call the media outlets and urge them to cover this movement.

In case you miss me tonight, tomorrow we will update you with a link to the video and more information on what has occurred. Please don’t forget to join the cause at www.WexlerWantsHearings.com.

Again – I thank you for your support in this important endeavor.

Congressman Robert Wexler

Congressman Robert Wexler is organizing his colleagues to ask House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to begin Cheney impeachment hearings. Wexler is asking his fellow Judiciary Committee Members to co-sign a letter to Conyers. We support Wexler in this, and we are also asking congress members not on the committee to send their own letters to Conyers.

6. Holy Moley! He's talking about 'enforcing subpoenas'!
This would really be monumental! Pelosi won't stand for that!

8. There have been several episodes of "The Hill"
that is shown in the morning on the Sundance Channel, depicting the inner workings of Congress (or at least Wexler's office) that have been interesting, to say the least. Anybody else catch them?

10. He should publish a list of all Democrats, and of course Repubs...
Who do not support it.

It's time to drain the swamp, instead of insisting the new inhabitants will get rid of the snakes.
