Mass Dems Keep National Momentum Going
Impeachment momentum stretches now from one corner of our country to another. On Saturday, the Massachusetts Democratic Party resoundingly passed a resolution to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney – just 20 days after the California Democratic Party passed its impeachment resolution.
With ever more revelations of an out-of-control White House (now with sick-bed coercion), support for impeachment is growing generally and is becoming mainstream inside the Democratic Party. . .except for a few national leaders.
Both the California and Massachusetts resolutions were passed at the Democratic state party conventions, both due to the leadership of PDA. At both conventions, PDA’s impeachment stickers were enthusiastically displayed by many hundreds of delegates, way beyond PDA members – whether those delegates prefer Clinton or Kucinich or whomever.
The Massachusetts resolution called on the state’s delegation in Congress to investigate Bush/Cheney for misleading our nation into war, torture and warrantless wiretapping -- and “if the investigation supports the charges, vote to impeach” both Bush and Cheney “as provided in the Constitution.”
TAKE ACTION TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING:
1) Get your local town, city or state to pass its own resolution. Nearly a dozen towns in Massachusetts had passed resolutions before this weekend’s state convention, when Massachusetts Democrats became the 14th to have their state Party endorse an impeachment resolution. For a complete list, go to:

3) Order your "ImpeachMINTS" today, and join the hundreds of people who are flooding Congress with mints aimed at freshening democracy! Paste this link --

Resolution to Impeach George W. Bush & Richard B. Cheney (5/19/07)
Whereas George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have:
Deliberately misled the nation about the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war;
Condoned the torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention & US law;
Approved illegal electronic surveillance of American citizens without a warrant; and,
Whereas these actions have undermined our constitutional system of government, damaged the reputation of America, and threatened our national security,
Therefore, the voters of the Massachusetts Democratic Convention call upon the Massachusetts delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate these charges and if the investigation supports the charges, vote to impeach George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney as provided in the Constitution of the United States of America.
