Wisconsin Democratic Party calls for IMPEACHMENT!!!

[orleans]

(here is a snip from wisconsinprogressive.com that was linked off of
http://www.doordems.com/-- and apparently it has gotten little publicity.)

"Wisconsin Democratic Party's call to impeach Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld gets no publicity!
"Somewhere in America, on the highest perches of a tall mountain, a small rock has begun its descent, bringing others down with it," says David Michael Green. "This rock was loosed by the release of a secret memo far across the Atlantic, but its path has been prepared by years of political deceit, arrogance, and aggression at home and abroad."

Let's watch one of those rocks that kicked loose and began its tumble on Saturday June 11, 2005. During their annual State Convention at the Park Plaza in downtown Oshkosh the Democratic Party of Wisconsin adopted the following resolution:


CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

WHEREAS, the Downing Street Memo shows that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld began planning and executing the war on Iraq before seeking Congressional and UN approval;

WHEREAS, UN weapons inspectors showed prior to the invasion that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and

WHEREAS, there is further mounting evidence that the Administration lied or misled about "mushroom clouds," "connections to 9/11," and "war as a last resort" as they sought UN, Congressional, and public approvals;

THEREFORE, RESOLVED, the DPW asks Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.

It is believed that Wisconsin is the first state Democratic Party to have passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. We hope that others will do the same."

2. Actually, no, Russ didn't

This resolution was passed by the whole convention and neither Feingold nor his staff were sponsors of it....

It came from the Dane County (Madison, Wisconsin) delegation if I remember correctly....

About 18 Senators woted against the IWR.

6. Boy, what an interesting state

Old time progressives (the 19th century kind), wacky fundamentalists, true liberals and cold-blooded nazis seem to share the cheese stage. This state seems to be the best belwether I've seen of late: it has vigorous power blocs that flex on a regular basis.

If things have to get fractious in order to reclaim civilization from the neo-feudalists, then so be it.
