If you haven't already signed Wexler's petition, here's the link.

After The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, USA Today, and Boston Globe rejected an op/ed authored by Wexler, Gutierrez (D-IL), and Baldwin (D-WI -- who are representatives and members of the House Judiciary Committee -- Wexler got the word out to the Netroots. Within five days, 100,000 people had signed the petition urging impeachment hearings of Dick Cheney.

At the time of this posting, more than 109,000 have added their names to the petition. The goal is 250,000 signatures by the year's end. So spread the word.

[That's all. No more after the jump.]
