NYT/Reuters: Vermont Democrats Call for Bush Impeachment
Vermont Democrats Call for Bush Impeachment
By REUTERS
Published: April 8, 2006

RANDOLPH, Vermont (Reuters) - Democratic Party leaders in Vermont on Saturday passed a motion asking Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush.

In an elementary school cafeteria strewn with American flags and copies of the U.S. Constitution, some 100 state party officials agreed to make the request to the U.S. House of Representatives.

``You know in your own hearts and minds that something is terribly wrong in this country,'' said Margaret Lucenti, a Democrat from Vermont's capital Montpelier.

The measure asks the Republican-controlled House to pass articles of impeachment against Bush for misleading the nation on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and engaging in illegal wiretapping, among other charges.

Democratic state committees in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Nevada and North Carolina have taken similar steps....

4. IMO, Vermont is the most "American" state we have --
go there in the summer: Little League, picnics, green mountains, town meetings in small towns (pure democracy), little picket-fenced houses, country stores, clear brooks and streams, American flags on houses long before 9/11. There are problems, and poverty, like anywhere else, but on a summer day it can seem idyllic.

Consider going sometime, and just drive some back roads in any part of the state.
