Senate candidate calls for Bush’s arrest

KENNEBUNKPORT — Calling President George Bush "the worst president in the history of the United States," Independent U.S. Senate candidate Laurie Dobson stood on the steps of Town Hall Tuesday and called upon the town to indict Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as war criminals.

Saying that both had "made killing fields of many countries," Dobson urged town leaders to issue a warrant for their arrests.

Text of Laurie Dobson’s call for indictment:

"Shall the Kennebunkport Board of Selectmen instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictments for consideration by other authorities, and shall it be the law of the Town of Kennebunkport that the Kennebunkport Police, pursuant to the above-mentioned indictments, arrest and detain George W. Bush and Richard Cheney in Kennebunkport of they are not duly impeached, and prosecute or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably content to prosecute them."

"There is compelling, undeniable, irrefutable evidence that crimes are going on," she said.

Dobson filed a copy of her indictment with Town Manager Larry Mead and later read it aloud for gathered media members overlooking Walker’s Point, the summer home of the President’s parents. Flanked by campaign manager Bruce Marshall and human rights lawyer Harold Burbank, Dobson said she will do what she can, from appearing at meetings to gathering petitions, to see that the issue makes it on to the town warrant in June.

2. Me too
Right now all of us are in danger. Congress too.

One of those jets on 911 was (supposedly) headed for the capital building. We need investigation of 911 by independent citizens not Bush appointed Neo Cons. They covered up a lot and silenced information. It is the event we stake the whole war, terror, loss of privacy, etc. story on.

Democracy all over the world is being negated using the 911 event. We don't spread it, we are removing it for an oligarchy.

4. Great Idea, good for her
We need to get that done before the criminals fly off to Paraguay to set up housekeeping. That country does not have an extradition treaty with the US.

Funny that bush and cheney know they should be arrested but nothing has been done. Funny, but incredibly sad.

5. Good on her, that's pretty gutsy,
but I think she better worry about her well being and safety. That's not going to play well with the Reich Wing nuts.:wow:

7. Well...
I wish her a lot of luck and I hope her voice is heard. However, Kennebunkport is a very "wealthy" town...unlike most of Maine. There are a LOT of conservatives in that area....I hope she is safe.
