elsewhere on the internets: impeachment edition!

C’mon, you know you want it.

Support Rep. Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment @ Democrats.com:

We’ve waited years to find one Member of Congress brave enough to stand up for our Constitution, for which generations of Americans have fought and died. We are thrilled and honored that Dennis Kucinich has chosen to be that one genuine patriot.

Of course, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-8), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD-5), and Democratic Caucus Chair Rahm Emanuel (IL-5) all remain adamantly opposed to impeachment - despite the overwhelming evidence of High Crimes, including the “Phase II” report by the Senate Intellligence Committee and Scott McClellan’s new book.

And when Rep. Robert Wexler (FL-19) called for Judiciary Committee hearings on Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Cheney in January, only 17 Democrats joined them: Neil Abercrombie (HI-1), Tammy Baldwin (WI-2), Michael Capuano (MA-8), Yvette Clarke (NY-11), Lacy Clay (MO-1), Steve Cohen (TN-9), Peter DeFazio (OR-4), Keith Ellison (MN-5), Sam Farr (CA-17), Raúl Grijalva (AZ-7), Luis Gutierrez (IL-4), Barbara Lee (CA-9), Gwen Moore (WI-4), Jim Moran (VA-8), Mike Thompson (CA-1), Ed Towns (NY-10), and Lynn Woolsey (CA-6).

So Kucinich’s heroic efforts will be in vain unless we inundate Congress with emails and calls (202-224-3121) showing our full support for Rep. Kucinich’s 35 Articles of Impeachment.

Honk to Impeach, also @ Democrats.com:

And if you have time to do more, please login to Democrats.com, click “Local” and connect with other activists in your Congressional District to organize a Honk-To-Impeach gathering at the District Office of your Representative or a major local intersection.

Download and print the new ImpeachBush flyer @ ImpeachBush.org.

Make Impeachment a Reality

Demand your representative co-sponsor the Articles of Impeachment!, also @ ImpeachBush.org:

We now have three co-sponsors to the 35 Articles of Impeachment. Along with Rep. Robert Wexler (Fl.), who signed on last week, two California Representatives — Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey — are now officially backing the impeachment call. This is important progress, but we can do even better. Please take a moment right now to send a letter to your Congressional representative and urge them to join the list of co-sponsors! Also, in your letter urge your representative to pressure the Judiciary Committee to initiate impeachment hearings immediately!

Finally, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel hates on my Congress-crush Wexler:

Last Thursday the largest newspaper in my congressional district - the South Florida Sun-Sentinel - published an editorial lambasting my enthusiastic support for immediately holding impeachment hearings for President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Numerous letters to the editor have also criticized my support for this movement.

Below, you’ll find the original Sun-Sentinel editorial, followed by my response, which was printed yesterday.

I assure you that I will not back down from this fight – no matter the consequences or political cost. The only thing that maters is that we deliver accountability for the Bush Cheney Administration and defend our government and our constitution.

If you would like to write a letter to the Sun Sentinel, you can email letters [at] sun-sentinel.com.

Thank you for your continued support.

Robert Wexler

Librul fire, go shows it to them.
