Impeach Cheney

Sorry folks, I have been real busy recently, trying to save Toquam Magnet Elementary School and doing that crazy thing called work but Jen Clark put me onto this and wanted to bring it to your attention:

Rep. Robert Wexler, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, is trying to move forward with impeachment hearings against Dick Cheney. He co-wrote an op-ed with two other members of the judiciary committee which was turned down for publication by all the major news outlets (how creepy is that?). Therefore, he's turning to us.

At www.wexlerwantshearings.com, he has set up a petition and is asking for 50,000 signatures. Please tell your readers about the petition so that we can blow that number away. I put up a post about it if you want more links. There's also a story about it at Raw Story, which is where I found out that they submitted the op-ed and were denied.

If it is true that the Main Stream Media refused to publish this op-ed, and there is no outrage then we are truly becoming lemmings, being led to the cliff. At someones suggestion I am currently reading Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat: A brief History of the 21st Century" and I am so frightened for our future right now it is almost depressing.

When you combine the fact that the Stamford Board of Education would consider closing one of their most successful schools, for no apparent reason, and combine that with the fact that the educational system in this country is not ready to change to meet the needs of the 21st century kind of makes me wonder how my kids and millions of their peers will be able to compete in the global market in 20-30 years.

Which leads me back to my original point, let's impeach Cheney.
