Impeachment Support Makes Wexler a Target

ROBERT WEXLER:

My strong and vocal stands in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney have made me a target. I am now under siege by the right wing, who are working hard to defeat me and silence the causes that we believe in.

For the last week, I've been relentlessly targeted by ultra-conservative radio and television hosts, as well as my local media. It has taken a toll. Now more than ever, I need your support to help me stay in Congress to represent your voice in Washington.

Please click here to donate to my re-election campaign.

I will make you this promise: No matter who criticizes me, I will continue to aggressively push for genuine accountability for this White House – including inherent contempt for Karl Rove, Josh Bolten, Harriet Miers and all of the renegade Bush officials if they do not immediately cooperate.

Right now, I am facing my most difficult re-election ever. While I rely on people like you to support my campaign – both of my wealthy opponents are spending their own personal money to fund their campaigns. One opponent has promised to spend a million dollars to defeat me. Another opponent has ridiculed my stance on impeachment and called for me to be impeached and removed from office.

Newspapers are reporting that my Republican opponent is seeing a major spike in contributions. We must match his supporters dollar for dollar.

If not, but you know someone who might want to, please spread the word by forwarding this email and posting it on blogs.

Regardless of whether you can support me financially at this time or not, please know that I have been inspired by your hard work, words of encouragement, and unflagging commitment for our shared causes.

Your friend,
Congressman Robert Wexler

1. Sister is in his district. It sounds like he is having the toughest battle of his career.

The Hatchet Job by Oreilly on Wexler LEGALLY raising his family and having a home in Maryland while using his Mother In Law's house as his Florida address hit him hard.

2. I got that email yesterday.

Wexler's is the only campaign to which I am contributing, this time around (I had to pick just a single campaign, due to the Bush Economy).

8. Thanks for the link, am sending help now

Money has been tight for us, but Wexler has been a "fire-breathing liberal", and I need to do what I can to support him from Oregon.

Just remember folks, if you can't afford to send a sizeable donation, many of us sending 25-50 dollars will be a big help.

Big love--and respect--for Robert Wexler :loveya:
