Building a better world by e-mail

While petitioning Washington to air grievances has been rather futile since Bushco's® overthrow of democracy and the constitution, I'm not willing to give up. Neither should you. I actually still write to these things and ignore how silly it makes me feel. Won't you take a few minutes and join in the fun?

Support Rep. Robert Wexler's new push to impeach Cheney by signing the petition. He needs 50,000 signatures. Huffington Post and Alternet have articles and video with more information.

Ask Sens. Clinton, Biden and Obama to support Chris Dodd's filibuster of FISA legislation which would grant telecom companies retroactive immunity for the warrantless wiretapping of every possible American.

Meanwhile, Luke is still hot on the trail of a proper forum for Sibel Edmonds, who's now saying she'll violate her gag orders if that venue presents itself. Man, she's a tough act to follow! You can e-mail some of these media outlets/personalities who've had an interest in the past and remind them they can have the big story of the last few decades: Keith Olbermann • 60 Minutes • ABC News • MSNBC and NBC.

Update: Holy shit!

It's not being reported in the corporate media, which also refused to publish an opinion piece penned by six-term Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). But a whopping 50,000 people responded in just one day to Rep. Wexler's call for people to sign his on-line petition supporting an immediate start to hearings on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's Cheney Impeachment bill (H Res 799)

As of Sunday morning, 54,000 people had signed the petition at www.WexlerWantsHearings.com calling for action now. And names are being added at a rate of one every one or two seconds!

Wexler has said he wanted at least 50,000 signatures. But why stop there? If people get behind this, and if the impeachment movement spreads the word, he could easily get closer to 500,000 signatures over the next few days.

And if each of us were to send out a call to sign to ten of our friends, then we'd have half a million signatures, which would be hard for Conyers and the Democratic leadership, Speaker Nancy Pelosi included, to ignore.

That's what I call action. It's been hard to get more than a few thousand signatures for a petition calling for impeachment. It could be the intelligence community's repudiation of all those lies trying to sell us on the idea of destroying Iran with nuclear weapons was the final nail in the BushCheney coffin. Think how much things have changed in the past couple months!
