| Wexler Wants Hearings  |
|
| Sawyer County Democratic Party |
The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unneccesary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings. Congressman Robert Wexler(D) launched www.WexlerWantsHearings.com and asked Americans to join his efforts to convince Congress to hold impeachment hearings. The online effort followed the release of an op-ed written by Wexler and two of his colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee, Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), in which they argue that it is the constitutional duty of the House of Representatives to hold hearings based on the significant allegations made against Vice President Cheney. |

| Speak Out |
|
| November 2nd TRUTH |
| We need to notify our leaders of the problems that burden us and result in human suffering. In order to give notice about these problems, we need to speak out so that our leaders in government are able to work with us in finding solutions to these problems. Society is ridden with poverty, homelessness, disease, corruption, human rights and labor abuse, drug addiction, sex crimes and many other serious problems. To speak out means to let our leaders know that we want them to help us solve these cancers that plague our lives. We are often at the mercy of lobbyists who spend billions every year to influence legislators and politicians. In 2000, lobbyists in Washington DC spent $1.55 billion to influence legislation that might not be in the interest of common citizens. To speak out is to let our politicians know not to forget about the masses and our needs. Speaking out is a powerful way of achieving this. |
