Rep. Robert Wexler (FL-19) posted the video below on his website yesterday calling for Vice-President Dick Cheney's impeachment and support from people. It was answered with those 50,000 signatures in less than 24 hours and now stands at over 70,000 names. It's growing quite quickly.
Though Wexler comes across as a bit vituperative, I have always agreed with this move. My stand comes not so much from the actions of the VP, though they are at face-value criminal, but because of the precedent it does not set, if impeachment proceedings are not begun. It's a dangerous precedent that undermines the checks and balances built into the Constitution. It also emboldens not just Bush/Cheney but any future administration.
You can add your name to the petition at Congressman Wexler's website here.
