Uh OH! Big time Uh Oh! Wexler's Hearings Petition Numbers
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 05:25 PM by ray of light
have all but stopped!

WE MUST KEEP THIS OUT THERE!

Please keep spreading the word.

http://www.wexlerwantshearings.com


A reminder--GOOGLE CHENEY and click on the impeach link there. From my understanding the more you click/and google the better chance it gets on the most searched lists.

Also, hand out the url everywhere you go! People pissed at gas prices? Give them the url. Same at the grocery store...Same at the bank. EVERYWHERE!

Another suggestion...When they put up the YOUTUBE video, I suggest that everyone swarm to the Wexler speech video (like the Ron Paul folks are famous for). If it gets around 5,000 hits it becomes a featured video usually.

1) rate it 5 stars
2) comment on it
3) favorite it
4) forward it to others
5) feature it on your You Tube homepage etc...





And please recommend this post.

1. and google the dick



IMPEACH CHENEY



E-MAIL


First, a huge thank you to those of you that have already contributed to our new Cheney Impeachment outreach effort. We have already significantly ramped up our advertising online and are working hard to drive home awareness of this critical movement. If you have already given, or can't, you can still play an essential role by keeping after the mainstream media and your representative in Congress - demanding that they take heed of this effort.

Over the last weeks, I have pulled money and staff from my re-election campaign to help bolster the visibility of our push for hearings. In a perfect world, we would not have to do this ourselves, and instead the mainstream media would play its proper role. Believe me, I would much rather be reporting to you the progress of the hearings, or working on our cross examination of Karl Rove.

Unfortunately, we're not there yet. Many of you have emailed expressing frustration at this reality. I share your feelings and your anger.

That said, positive developments have arisen in recent days. Just this week, the ACLU of Florida, George McGovern, and Ralph Nader have endorsed impeachment.

I still need your help – and now I want to expand this effort even further.

I am in the process of a major Internet advertising buy on Google that will guarantee that this week every person that looks up "Dick Cheney" and other related keywords sees an advertisement for our petition. With your help we can own "Cheney" on the web.

In addition, we've already begun to publish blog ads, such as you see to the right, throughout the web to galvanize Americans in support of our cause. (You may have to right mouse click and select "Download Pictures" to see the ad).

It is time to reach beyond those that are regular readers of the political blogs, and expand the number of people mobilized to help push for impeachment hearings. The truth is that the number of Americans who support our efforts is immense and we need to do everything possible to reach out to them and maximize our strength.

I cannot do this without your support, so click here if you'd like to contribute to our work.

Our new push - which I realize is only an extension of the early work of so many of you - is gaining support. I hope you realize that it's not just another petition, but something being driven from within Congress.

In fact, when Congress reconvenes next week, I will deliver the hundreds of thousands of names we have collected to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee and I will do everything I can do to convince them to support immediate impeachment hearings

We must now redouble our efforts to ensure that Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration are held accountable.

3. I believe I signed the petition. Does anyone know if I try again whether
my vote will be matched and rejected? I don't want to mess up anything by voting twice.

5. don't double sign. They check them! BUT you can forward the link to people
AND you can pass out notes to people with the url on it. Like I passed them out at the gas station, bank, grocery store, etc...

13. I'm guessing about 5 million signatures are needed to make a dent.
I'm sure there are that many in the nation who would like to see Cheney impeached, but... how to get them to participate is a whole other question.

19. Cheney has not helped this cause recently
It has been well over a year since he shot someone. All we've heard about him over the past year has been his frequent hospitalizations and the naps he takes in public. He really needs to do something over the top in public again for this final push to take hold.

21. Cheney is probably the one who ordered the torture tapes and then their
destruction.

Neither Bush nor Cheney will be impeached. We have more pressing issues, like steroids in baseball.

33. Wexler got his 75,000 US citizens
& a lot more. It's up to him to keep his promise.

It's not a big deal for the house judicary commitee to go forward & do the proper research in investigating the facts.

38. At least Wexler plans on keeping his promise, unlike Conyers!
At this point imo Conyers blows.

BTW..welcome!!!

Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 12:18 PM by BlueJac
I know this will go absolutely no where. First it was a number that has been passed and now it is more they want. Nancy Pelosi is a major road block, but I think Waxman has also been tamed.

The pathetic situation in Washington DC will continue with the support of corporate money. The need for real leadership is dire, but not on its way. Corporate money will squash all opposition!

I will recommend though.

37. 187,211 One person's action can bring a real burst of signatures. Try it.
E-mail your politico buddies, and tell them to chain it along to theirs, .... exponentially for a few steps really adds up.

Good to see new ideas appearing in these threads.

40. Google Cheney. Then in sponsored ads there is a link
that says something like Wexler wants to hold hearings.

(It was on the right)

43. Check this out. (He's asking for us to fight with him!)
Congressman Robert Wexler is organizing his colleagues to ask House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to begin Cheney impeachment hearings. Please help by calling the Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. They can tell you who your Congress Member is if you don't know, and they can connect you to their office. Ask your representative to urge Chairman Conyers to begin impeachment hearings against Dick Cheney. This is especially important if your representative is a member of the Judiciary Committee. Once you've made your phone call, please urge everyone you know to do the same. If you have further time to help advance impeachment, please call and Email the media.
