Last month, Congressman Robert Wexler (D – Florida, 19th) and two fellow members of the House Judiciary Committee and launched a high-profile effort to lobby other HJC members to support the Cheney Impeachment Resolution, H. Res. 799. Wexler started an online petition urging Cheney’s impeachment that so far has garnered nearly 200,000 signatures, and will be presenting his petition to Congress this Wednesday, 1/16/08.


Here’s what you can do, specifically, to join the effort:

1. Sign Congressman Wexler’s petition urging the immediate impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney, if you haven’t already done so:

2. Make toll-free calls to the Capitol Switchboard at 1-800-828-0498, and ask to speak to your own congressperson, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, and each of the nine Democratic members of the HJC opposed to impeachment (the “Ninny Nine,” listed below). 15 minutes is all it takes to make these calls. Congressman Jerold Nadler is the chairman of the HJC subcommittee where the Cheney impeachment resolution is currently stalled … and so right now it’s especially important to contact Mr. Nadler in every way possible, as often as possible.

3. Compose a short letter template, and fax personalized copies of it to Chairman Conyers and the “Ninny Nine” (snail-mail letters likely won’t arrive in time before 1/16/08, but are always good for follow-up). See below for a complete listing of names and full contact info.

4. Send a link to this post to as many people as possible who may be interested in spending some energy to support the cause of impeachment at this critical time.

I’ve received reports that at 11am on Monday, 1/15/08, Cindy Sheehan will be delivering between 7,000 and 10,000 pro-impeachment letters to Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco’s office. Pro-democracy activists will also be on hand at Pelosi’s office to deliver thousands of petition signatures urging Cheney’s impeachment. Your additional calls and faxes to Nancy Pelosi’s office, sent in conjunction with PDSC efforts this week (see Pelosi’s contact info, below), would have an even greater impact right now.

Finally, a call to Congressman Wexler thanking him for his principled, patriotic stand in support of impeachment is certainly called for and always greatly appreciated. Just use the toll-free Capitol Switchboard number: 1-800-828-0498.
