Vermonters Deliver Impeachment Resolution to Capitol Hill

HeadlineMay 02, 2006

A delegation from Vermont went to Capitol Hill on Monday to deliver resolutions passed by six Vermont towns calling for the impeachment of President Bush. “The reason we’re doing this is because as citizens of the USA we are honor bound to uphold the laws of the land, to defend the constitution of the US,” said Vermont bookstore owner Ellen Tenney. “When we witness what we believe in our hearts and know in our minds to be lawless acts committed against the great people of this country we must stand up and speak out.” Meanwhile there are now 36 members of the House who have officially co-sponsored a resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush. The latest lawmakers signing on are Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois and Chaka Fattah of Pennsylvania.
