Hi Dan,

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that Robert Wexler is calling for Cheney impeachment hearings to begin. He has a petition that can be found at www.wexlerwantshearings.com. He is asking for 50,000 signatures and he will go to his colleagues with them, but I think we can blow that number out of the water.

He has published information at The Huffington Post today and you can find a video and op-ed (co-authored by fellow House Judicary Committee members Luis Gutierrez and Tammy Baldwin) at www.wexlerwantshearings.com.

Spread the word!
