Anybody else on the phone for

[libodem]

the Wexler town hall meeting?

[gateley]

1. No! I signed up but didn't get the call! I'm bummed. :-(

Glad you're participating though -- how's it going?

[pacalo]

2. I am!

[pacalo]

3. First question: Why aren't those who ignore subpoenas arrested by the House?

[az chela]

4. I was but have been sick all day so thought I should hang up and let others

talk

[Frustratedlady]

5. I should be getting a call, but nothing. Wahhhhhhhhh!

[elizfeelinggreat]

6. Yes!

I didn't know this was going to happen and was so surprised to get the call! Yippee!


What a great way to get around the media's lack of coverage!

[pacalo]

7. "Why is Nancy Pelosi an obstructionist?"

Wexler has respect for Pelosi, but she made a very bad judgment in regard to impeachment.

Newcomers come to Washington to achieive results, to improve policies...

Bush isn't meeting Democrats halfway; (these newcomers?) should realize that by now.

[rosesaylavee]

8. If you are still on -

what does he think WE need to do that we haven't done? Does Congress need more signatures?

[libodem]

9. If I get on

I'll ask.

[pacalo]

11. So will I; lots of people waiting to ask questions, though.

[pacalo]

10. Comparison now between Clinton's lying to the grand jury vs.

Bush's lying to Congress & the American people to go to war.

Wexler said there was no abuse of presidential duties when Clinton was impeached; Bush, however, broke laws (& is going down the list, which, as we all know, is long).

[NightWatcher]

12. ask him wtf he cant do his job without starting a website to see if we want him to first

Defend the Constitution without checking with us first. You're a big boy, go to work

[pacalo]

13. Wexler's opponents for his seat are spending lots of money opposing him on

his stand on impeachment & his FISA vote. It's a hot issue in his area. He can use all the help he can get.

[pacalo]

14. Asked what is the most important reason for impeachent: lying to go to war.

There's no reason greater than this.

[pacalo]

15. Next question is regarding media blackout on impeachment movement...

Caller mentioned fascism.

Wexler said that's the reason for his having started wexlerwantsimpeachmenthearings.com; also spurred him to write the book, "Fire-breathing Liberal", which hit the bookstores today.

Mentioned the sunsentinal.com editorial that blasted his impeachment movement.

[pacalo]

16. "How can we change the media?" & "How can we get the congress to listen to us?"

Wexler, who's frustrated himself, knows how frustrated we are.

Letters to the editor -- bombard the newspapers calling for impeachment hearings.

Everyone focuses on the leader of the House & Conyers, but wants us to try a different tack: let's contact our friends (including like-minded congresspeople who haven't yet signed on) -- those who are most likely to support impeachment.

[pacalo]

17. Poll question: Do you think impeachment hearings would jeopardize Democrats' chance for winning in

Nov.?

(voting going on now; results to come)

[pacalo]

19. 94% say no, impeachment would not hurt Democrats' chance.

[pacalo]

18. Timing of impeachment: Constitution doesn't put a time frame on "when".

It would be a derelection of duty not to move forward on impeachment. Sober, judicious hearings could be held in a 4-8 week period. Constitution requires us to act; we can do more than one thing at a time.

Suggests hearings begin with Cheney.

[Earth_First]

20. No but I am still holding to cast my vote for Nashville Star! n/t

:sarcasm:

[pacalo]

21. Siegelman case: Would Conyers subpoena William Canary?

Wexler recapping the case...

Conyers is aware of the case & is working to bring the case to the House committee. Thinks it would be a good idea for having Canary testifying.

[pacalo]

22. No more questions. Can e-mail unanswered questions to wexlerwantshearings.com

It was explained that those who didn't get called didn't enter their telephone information at Wexler's site.

[pacalo]

24. Country is ready for a liberal surge, said Wexler. An aggressive movement will defeat a

conservative movement every time.

The End.
