Oberlin, Ohio may become the first city in Ohio to have its City Council pass an petition calling on the U.S. House to impeach Bush and Cheney.

The issue was put before the Council May 7. More than 600 residents' signatures will be presented on May 21 and the Council will then discuss and vote.

With no discussion and only a few dissents, the community of Leverett, MA, home of the New England Peace Pagoda, passed a resolution to impeach Bush and Cheney at the annual town meeting on April 28, 2007.

ANOTHER HISTORIC STEP ON IMPEACHMENT

Sparked by an insurgency among delegates, the California Democratic Party has taken an historic step forward on the issue of impeachment. In a resolution affirmed by the full state party convention Sunday, the Democrats called on the U.S. Congress to use its subpoena power to investigate misdeeds of President Bush and Vice President Cheney – and to hold the Administration accountable “with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment.” The delegate insurgency was coordinated by Progressive Democrats of America and its allies.

Impeachment resolutions are blooming in Massachusetts, the "Cradle of Liberty." In Berkshire County alone, five Massachusetts communities will be voting resolutions for impeachment of George W. Bush and Richard E. Cheney at their May, 2007 Annual Town Meetings: Cheshire, Great Barrington, Lanesboro, Lee, and Stockbridge.

Grays Harbor Democratic Club of Aberdeen, WA, unanimously passed an impeachment resolution for George W.

In 10 U.S. states, either this year or last year or both, the state legislature has introduced and considered, though not yet passed, a bill to petition the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Bush and Cheney. The question, of course, is what in the heck is wrong with the other 40 states? We can't find a single state legislator with the decency to uphold the U.S. Constitution and at least introduce a resolution to impeach? Where are the states that created the Constitution? Where are Massachusetts and Virginia? What's holding up New York? Where in the world is Oregon? Is this all the pressure we can muster in the cause of justice?

David Balsam and several other residents in the Village of Nyack, New York, have submitted a Resolution to the Village Board of Trustees, calling for the Impeachment of Bush/Cheney. They seem to have struck a chord with local residents, and are hoping that on April 12th, the Board votes to adopt the Resolution.

With Help From Constitution Summer, San Francisco Approves Ballot Initiative to Call for Impeachment
Announcement Comes on Anniversary of Nixon Resignation

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Four City San Francisco Supervisors have put their pens to a document that will allow the city's 421,000 registered voters an up or down vote on the merits of impeaching both President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney this November 7th. The San Francisco Impeachment Ballot Initiative, like the Berkeley Impeachment Ballot Initiative approved on June 27th, 2006, was drafted in close coordination with Constitution Summer, a nonpartisan, national coalition of students at the nation's law schools and universities. Champaign-Urbana, Illinois quietly approved the first municipal presidential impeachment initiative in American history on April 11th, 2006.

I was very excited to attend the Plattsburgh NY City Council meeting tonight at 6PM. The chamber was packed with people, many of whom spoke in favor of Congress investigating George Bush over a host of alleged violations of law. Only two individuals spoke against the measure, and they seemed to have a personal issue with the Councilor who proposed the resolution, Bill Provost.
