52% of Americans polled favour impeachment hearings for the President if he ordered wiretapping Americans without judicial oversight, which means that 52% of Americans favour impeachment hearings, since he did do that. This includes 33% of people who describe themselves as
conservatives. (And in case you're wondering, 36% of people polled in 1998 favoured hearings for Bill Clinton.)
Really.

Public opinion in favor of impeachment has only grown since then. In Nov 2006, 51% of people polled by Newsweek believed the Democrats should make impeachment a priority (either "top" or "lower"). Last week, a Republican polling firm found 39% of people currently support impeaching BOTH Bush and Cheney, with no qualifications.
Some in Congress are starting to take action. I urge you and your readers to take a few minutes to examine:

It's a list of the 25 most recent comments made by real Americans participating in an online poll/letter-writing campaign concerning the impeachment charges recently filed against Vice President Cheney, which are now being evaluated by the House Judiciary Committee. Comments can be sent to elected representatives and local newspapers at your option. The participation page is at:

Since this campaign began, three members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors, in part due to hearing from their constituents. Make your voice heard!
