Boulder Colorado joins over 90 cities asking for Impeachment.

[Ichingcarpenter]

“BE IT RESOLVED that the Citizens of Boulder and the Boulder City Council believe that there is sufficient evidence to commence hearings in the House of Representatives that may lead to impeachment of either or both President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney.”

In other words, the resolution simply urges that the House of Representatives perform its constitutional duty to investigate allegations of violations of our Constitution.

Boulder is hardly unique in this. More than 90 other cities ranging from Detroit and Cambridge to Chapel Hill, N.C., and Brattleboro, Vt., have taken action, many much stronger than what we’re asking. National public opinion surveys find that more than half of American voters believe that both Bush and Cheney have committed serious crimes against the Constitution.

Who wins the next election is of minor importance in comparison to the question of whether future administrations are bound to operate under the rule of law and to do so openly in full compliance with the Constitution.

We need to establish, once and for all time, that we are not to be dragged into war based upon lies, that we will not tolerate torture, that we expect full compliance with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and that we will not tolerate signing statements that change the meaning of laws. The purpose of impeachment is to set standards for future administrations. Even to begin impeachment hearings will serve notice that they will be held accountable.

without relying on congress to start them? Thought I heard something about that...

[stephinrome]

15. Go Boulder!

16. Failure To Impeach -- Worse Than Bushcheney Itself (yes, really)

Which would you rather have -- some powerful criminals that get away with murder or a impotent/corrupt police department that lets all criminals get away with everthing?

The "evil" quote has always been an oxymoron.

"Doing nothing" in the face of evil disqualifies one from the label "good."
