City considers Bush impeachment vote

BOULDER, Colo. -- City leaders are expected to decide next week whether to draft and vote on a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

For the past few weeks, activists have been showing up at Boulder City Council meetings, carrying signs, handing out "impeach" pins and asking City Council members to take up such a resolution. Similar measures have passed in cities across the country, including Detroit and Telluride, Colo.

Liz Robinson, one of the organizers of the effort, said people hoping to see impeachment proceedings have given congressional Democrats - who won a majority in the fall of 2006 - plenty of time to act. But since they haven't, she said, locally elected officials should take up the slack.

Impeachment proceedings would be worth doing even if they only put the last few months of Bush's eight years in office at risk, Robinson said. "We need to send a message that this all matters to us, whether it's last-minute or not," she said. The group appears to have some support among the City Council, although it's not clear if it has the five votes it would take to get a resolution drafted and subsequently debated.
