35 of the Vermont Towns That Just Voted for Impeachment


By davidswanson - Posted on 07 March 2007

March 6 - Vermonters in at least 35 towns passed town
meeting resolutions calling for the impeachment of
George W Bush and Dick Cheney today.

Republican Governor Jim Douglas presided over an
impeachment resolution in Middlebury that not only
laid out the charges against Mr Bush, but spoke
eloquently about the need to honor the constitution.
Gov. Douglas tried to prevent a vote on the
resolution, but was denied by the citizens, who passed
the measure overwhelmingly.

Impeachment resolutions were also passed in Speaker
Gaye Symington's town of Jericho, and Rep. Peter
Welch's town of Windsor.

Several towns saw impeachment votes blocked by
moderators' Roberts rules maneuvers, despite the
objections of the citizens in attendance.

The call for impeachment comes from all corners of the
state. Grass roots groups are organizing independent
actions designed to get the state legislature to act
on an impeachment that is currently stuck in the House
judiciary committee.

The towns, as of 11:15, March 5 are:

Bristol, Middlebury, Richmond, Newfane, Guilford,
Vershire, Rochester, Westminster, Hartland, Newbury,
Dummerston, Johnson, Calais, Grafton, Jericho, East
Montpelier, Woodbury, Roxbury, Plainfield, Peru,
Jamaica, Wilmington, Craftsbury, Greensboro, Marlboro,
Townshend, Morristown, Montgomery, Putney, Tunbridge,
Springfield, Sunderland, St. Johnsbury(town meeting
survey 71-27), Stannard, Burke
