Obama’s Florida Co-Chair Says Yes to Impeachment
Rep. Dennis Kucinich filed articles of impeachment against President Bush this week, and he already has a taker: Barack Obama's Florida campaign co-chair, Rep. Robert Wexler. According to Wexler: "A decision by Congress to pursue impeachment is not an option, it is a sworn duty. It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this Administration."Rep.

Your support is crucial…ABC News / Political Punch:
Congressman Robert Wexler, D-Fla. — the Florida co-chair for the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. — today announced that he has signed on to support the Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush, introduced this week by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
“President Bush deliberately created a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people and the charges detailed in this impeachment resolution indicate an unprecedented abuse of executive power,” Wexler said. “A decision by Congress to pursue impeachment is not an option, it is a sworn duty. It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this Administration. Our Founding Fathers bestowed upon Congress the power of impeachment, and it is now time that we use it to defend the rule of law from this corrupt Administration.”
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
