County Board to vote on impeachment

Bill Novak — 8/11/2007 9:17 am

The Dane County Board could become one of the first county boards in the country to urge Congress to start impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

The board is to consider its resolution next week and members on both sides predict it will pass. The board's Executive Committee voted Thursday night to endorse impeachment of both Bush and Cheney on the grounds that they violated the Constitution, the Geneva Convention and the courts in the war on terror and the war in Iraq.

The resolution passed on a 5-1 vote, with Supervisors Barbara Vedder, Scott McDonell, John Hendrick, Bob Salov and Mark Opitz voting in favor and Duane Gau against. Supervisors Donna Vogel and Dave Ripp abstained and Supervisors Dennis O 'Loughlin, Dave De Felice and Kyle Richmond were absent.
.....

The Madison City Council has a similar resolution that it is scheduled to take up on Sept. 4.

"Communities across the country are doing this and 200 cities already have passed resolutions," Vedder said. "The people are way ahead of the politicians on this one."

3. "Vedder said it's up to the people to get Congress to start moving toward impeachment."
Please call your Congress folk and request impeachment. It's even easier than voting! K&R.
