Impeachment Advocates Crush Server, But Still No Reports in the Corporate Media
Tue, 12/18/2007 - 16:10 — dlindorff

The push for hearings on Dennis Kucinich's Cheney impeachment bill (H Res. 799) continues, with the number of signers of Wexler's petition now topping 90,000. http://www.wexlerwantshearings.com/

The rush to sign on has been so heavy that on Monday it crashed the server. Rep. Robert Wexler's people have since changed to a better server, but in the process, there were some resets of the tally, which has led to a lot of concern and even to anxious conspiracy theories among impeachment backers. Wexler's office says there has been no problem with sabatoge, and that the current number, just over 90,000 as of 10:45 am Tuesday, is accurate. The list has been checked for duplicates and other signs of trouble, and looks clean, they say.

So impeachment advocates should continue to push for support for this call for action. Get people to the petition site and signed on.

But don't stop there.
