There is a new Cambridge-based website for people upset about Rep. Mike Capuano (Cambridge, Boston, Somerville) not supporting impeachment in the vote brought against Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday, by Rep. Dennis Kucinich. It is CapuanoTraitor.com. The vote was broadcast on CNN. An excerpt from the site reads:

Andy lives in Michael Capuano's district. After reading a John Kerry apologia for Capuano's Brazil trip today, he no longer wants to vote for him:

An apology wouldn't hurt, Congressman

... Our system is broken by money, and as far as this goes, it broke Mike Capuano. Just apologize, Mike -- start to heal your reputation. ...

Kerry's office is snotty and dismissive

Sissy calls her local congressman and senators to see what they plan to do to cut pork. She writes:

... Not that we would ever vote for one of them in a million years. But Capuano's and Kennedy's staff were friendly and helpful -- professional -- while Kerry's were snotty and dismissive ...
