Council to Consider Bush/Cheney Impeachment Petition

TELLURIDE – The Town Council this Tuesday will consider nothing less than a petition proposing an ordinance calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney. A three-member petition committee has gathered enough valid signatures, nearly 100 when only 31 were actually needed, to get the item placed on the Town Council’s agenda.

“This is a citizen initiated action against George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney for violating the public trust, and for knowingly harming the United States of America and the state of Colorado,” said Thom Carnevale of Telluride. “The U.S. democracy is in a struggle for its life.”

The town council will have two choices in considering the petition for an ordinance. It can pass the ordinance, or submit it to a vote in the November election. There is a grassroots movement across the nation among communities and other governing boards to convince Congress to “demand accountability,” as one supporting website put it, for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The action in Telluride is asking the town government to endorse the impeachment of Bush and Cheney and thus join similar efforts in more than 100 towns and cities, including 40 that have passed actual ordinances, Carnevale said.

1. Clear and simple.

Seems to me we ought to do this like Craig Ferguson's honorary citizenship: Have every state, city, and town in the country ask for the Deadly Duo to be impeached.
