S.F. supervisors ask lawmakers to impeach Bush (SF Chronicle)
San Francisco's supervisors jumped into national politics Tuesday, passing a resolution asking the city's Democratic congressional delegation to seek the impeachment of President Bush for failing to perform his duties by leading the country into war in Iraq, eroding civil liberties and engaging in other activities the board sees as transgressions.

The supervisors, in voting 7-3 for the resolution, ensured that San Francisco again will become grist for radio and TV talk shows. The city has appeared in the national media spotlight recently for voters' passage in November of a nonbinding measure banning military recruiters from public high schools and for Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval's recent comment on a Fox News show that the United States doesn't need a military.

Supervisor Chris Daly, one of the most progressive members of the board, sponsored the resolution, which also calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. Daly said the measure is justified in light of the administration's case for and handling of the war in Iraq, the federal government's inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina and recent revelations about a domestic wiretapping program.

11. I Don't Know if a Resolution by the City Council Carries any Weight
but an action by the state legislature can be used to start impeachment proceedings. At least one of the liberal bloggers was making this claim recently. What a blow that would be to Arnold if his legislature impeached his party's president!

16. Wow! That IS hugh!1!
Oh those Aliotos. :eyes: Isn't she the one who ran for office despite not voting for years? Noblesse oblige, I suppose.

So our Congressional Dems once again say that it's up to "the people" to vote out the rethugs, when they won't stand up for us or against election fraud.

Regardless, Good on the Supes!!! :applause: :woohoo: :toast: :patriot:

Now we just have to work on getting THEM into Congress. ;)

22. Do remember who two of our newest SF citizens are...Al and Tipper...
Now, didn't Gore say "We The People" had to take back our government and protect our constitution?

Well...San Francisco has nothing left to lose, or anything to gain by not speaking truth to power.

Also, we really, really, like doing that...it's a common pastime here.

And, we who devote a week each year (Fleet Week) to hosting and honoring the military know that the Navy, Marines, Army, and Air Force have got our (and Coit Tower's) back.

25. San Francisco supervisors call for impeachment of President Bush

San Francisco supervisors call for impeachment of President Bush

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO - City supervisors passed a resolution asking their Democratic congressional delegation to pursue the impeachment of President Bush for mishandling the war in Iraq and cutting civil liberties.

"I think the case is clear, and I think it's appropriate for us to weigh in," said Supervisor Chris Daly, who sponsored the measure.

The Board of Supervisors voted 7-3 Tuesday night in favor of the resolution, which also calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

San Francisco was lampooned by conservatives as an ultraliberal city out of touch with mainstream America after Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval recently said on Fox News that the United States doesn't need a military.

But Mayor Gavin Newsom took the latest vote in stride.
"It's probably going to shatter the status quo in this country when it passes," Newsom joked. "I imagine, immediately, Congress will probably convene into session and begin impeachment proceedings."

27. Good luck! As long as their looking at their Congressional Dems
and not putting pressure on their Congressional Republicans, it's going to be a vain exercise. Republicans will be lock step in line behind Bush etal.
