Residents continue to push impeachment issue

WASHINGTON, Conn. — First Selectman Dick Sears admits he's had a few sleepless nights lately.

He's been kept awake wondering how to best foster democratic debate about the war in Iraq without pitting neighbor against neighbor.

A faction of impassioned and vocal town residents are imploring Sears and his fellow selectmen, Mark Lyon and Nick Solley, to schedule a special town meeting so residents can vote on a resolution to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

A month ago, the Board of Selectman voted 2-1 against scheduling such a meeting in Town Hall because Lyon and Solley thought it was not the proper venue. Sears disagreed.

On July 3, some 100 people from Washington and surrounding towns met in Bryan Memorial Town Hall to argue the need for public debate on whether to send a town resolution to Congress.

This week, the selectmen were asked by at least a dozen proponents of the resolution to reconsider their position.

One man was adamant that the board's decision was the correct one. The larger group said it is critical that town residents be able to debate issues that affect the community and issues that affect all Americans.

1. Oh, no! You'll male Joementum cry!

I'd love to see someone ask him to state a position on this one. Especially on the lies to the war reason.
