KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -- A long-shot Senate candidate said she wants to have President George W. Bush arrested if he sets foot in Kennebunkport, where his parents have an oceanfront home.

Laurie Dobson, an anti-war activist who lives in Kennebunkport, took the first step Tuesday toward obtaining what she described as an indictment that could lead to the arrest of both the president and Vice President Dick Cheney.

In Kennebunkport, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats nearly 2-1, officials are expressing skepticism about the legality of Dobson's effort. Town Manager Larry Mead said the local government doesn't have the power to indict.

1. K&R! Good for her!

[f the letter]

2. All right!

Good luck getting Maine on board.. it's sadly right-wing considering how screwed we are by the right wing there. But much support! Hope more towns across the country start jumping on the Brattleboro bandwagon with this idea.

3. Put Bush on notice

that despite all his actions, there are people who know he has broken the law and want him brought to justice.

4. Enormous courage.

Well done.

5. What's the difference between her and Nader?

Just another spoiler who will throw the election to the Republicans.

Support LeDue if you don't like Allen, at least he had the class to file for the primary. But to hell with these vanity candidates.
