Robert Wexler Impeachment Hearings July 25, 2008. |
|
Congressman Robert Wexler stands in favor of Impeachment Hearings for President Bush and Vice President Cheney as well as his advocacy for ending the war in Iraq have drawn two self-funded challengers who hope to defeat him in November.
Wexler's Republican opponent has advocated Wexler's "removal" from office based on his Impeachment movement. The Independent in the race ( a former-Democrat who left the party during this campaign) has criticized Wexler's push to begin withdrawals from Iraq. The area's largest newspaper, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel has also criticized Wexler's call for hearings, arguing, "it's nobody's sworn duty to take up any time to go after a badly battered president with only a few months left in office." In response, Congressman Wexler wrote a letter to the Editor that stated, "The Sentinel says impeachment is the wrong "remedy" for this litany of crimes. What then is the proper remedy? A harsh lecture? A strongly worded editorial? Or how about doing absolutely nothing in the face of these outrageous abuses of power? Impeachment hearings need not distract us from other important priorities such as the economy, gas prices and bringing the troops home from Iraq. Congress can and should address all important issues - including safeguarding our constitutional rights and obligations." Read more here: |
