WHITE RIVER JUNCTION -- At an emotional meeting Saturday, impeachment activists called on U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., to initiate impeachment investigations against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and criticized Welch for supporting additional funding for the war.

"It isn't about what you believe. It's about what we believe. We voted for you because we felt you would represent our voice," said Peggy Sapphire of Craftsbury.

Adrienne Kinne of Sharon, who served in the Army and Army Reserves from 1994 to 2004, said she wondered why "our soldiers are serving this country in defense of our Constitution when Congress is doing nothing to stop Bush and Cheney and the Bush administration from denigrating our Constitution and our American way of life." Others said Welch didn't have to choose between ending the war and impeachment and that Congress should hold the president and vice president accountable for what they believe are impeachable offenses.

Welch said he would deliver what he learned Saturday in a speech on the House floor about the grassroots impeachment movement in Vermont, and enter into the Congressional Record a letter from the mother of a fallen soldier.

Lots of luck, Vermont! We are Diogenes, searching the world for an honest politician.....there's this guy in Venezuela, although he's probably too busy (and too smart)....

All Democrats need to call their Representative in the House and tell them to bring articles of impeachment against Bush as soon as possible.
