Bernie Sanders signed on to H Res 635 (the Impeachment Committee)!

Brings the total to 30. Press forward people!

My congressman, Maurice Hinchey (NY-22) is a cosponsor!

Every Democrat, at minimum, should be signing on to this.

I expect there will be a few Repubs, too, before the month is out. Bush is sinking fast and they want to distance themselves from him.

And seeing those names there, where are the rest? History is watching. God, I cannot imagine being in this government and being able to live with myself if I hadn't DONE all I could do to stop this creeping fascism. How can they sleep at night?

We will replace those who won't speak up.

Vermont Towns Endorse Move to Impeach Bush
By DAVID GRAMAssociated Press Writer

March 8, 2006, 5:05 AM EST

NEWFANE, Vt. -- In five Vermont communities, a centuries-old tradition of residents gathering in town halls to conduct local business became a vehicle to send a message to Washington: Impeach the president.

.....

Sanders issued a statement after the Newfane vote saying that although the Bush administration "has been a disaster for our country, and a number of actions that he has taken may very well not have been legal," given the reality that the Republicans control the House and the Senate, "it would be impractical to talk about impeachment."

Jim Barnett, chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, said Sanders should reject the resolution: "We should not be impeaching presidents just because we disagree with them."

and tried to get him to sign on. I am going to call next week and every week until he signs on. I pointed out to the aide I spoke to that about 65% of the voters of my blue state disapprove of Bush and therefore that the Rep has nothing to lose by signing on. I also talked to him about my grave concerns about the precedents that will be set if Bushco get a free pass on their criminal acts.
