Impeachment Petitions to be Delivered to Speaker Dennis Hastert

At 9:00 a.m. ET on Monday May 1, in Room 235 of the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., Ellen Tenney, from Rockingham Vermont, will present petitions from towns in Vermont calling for the impeachment of President Bush. The towns each passed resolutions to send the petitions. These petitions are the first few of many from towns across the nation that will be arriving at Congress's door. They are presented under the guidelines of Jefferson's Manual section 603, and will be referred to a House Committee, probably the Judiciary, for consideration."

Dan DeWalt of Newfane, VT, wrote the Newfane impeachment resolution, which passed in March. "Since then, he said, "I have learned that a very wide cross section of the population supports our efforts. I have heard from Republicans, senior citizens who profess to be apolitical/conservative, veterans of all ages, people who identify themselves as evangelical, all types of political views and beliefs; these people are all united in believing that impeachment hearings of G W Bush should be initiated."
