Vermont; Town Resolution Seeks to Impeach President
Saturday, February 04, 2006 - NEWFANE -- Among votes to approve the budget and education spending at Town Meeting, residents will wade into national waters and vote from the floor for the impeachment of President George W. Bush.

Selectboard member Dan DeWalt wrote the Town Meeting resolution and gathered enough signatures to get the question on to the ballot.

The vote for impeachment will be taken from the floor.

DeWalt said he was not going to bring any evidence to Newfane's meeting, claiming that the people of the town know enough about Bush's presidency to vote on the resolution.

If voters approve the resolution, DeWalt said he is going to ask U.S. Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., to file the articles of impeachment to remove the president from office.

"We have an immoral government operating illegally," DeWalt said. "I feel morally compelled to act."

7. Setting a good example
Hopefully others will follow...

I vaguely recall, way back when, there were several groups around the world who accused Bush of War Crimes... seeking indictments in various courts (none of which the Bush Regime would answer to anyway). Alas, never heard much of them... either they were quashed, unable to actually overcome internal resistance/fear of indicting such a powerful foe, or were powerless to do anything...

Example: Bush 'Indicted' Over War Crimes

Few people ever even heard of such things.

Just more evidence the man should not remain the President of the United States.
