Town council backs impeaching Bush

By Matt Dees, Staff Writer

CHAPEL HILL -

President Bush should be impeached, Town Council members unanimously
decided Monday night.

The vote was the local body's latest foray into national politics.

A local Republican dismissed it as a "move of desperation."

Council members supported a petition from the grass-roots Elders for
Peace group, which laid out three charges to justify impeachment:


* Bush "lied to Congress and the American people to launch an illegal
war of aggression";

* Bush violated human rights by torturing prisoners at home and abroad
and detaining suspects with no due process;

* Bush "unleashed a massive unconstitutional wiretap and spying
operation against the people of the United States."


"I think this compels us -- you and all thinking people in the United
States -- to move for impeachment," said Nancy Elkins, an Elders for
Peace member.

"If we don't, what are future citizens of our country going to think
we were doing when we were allowing all of this?"

With little discussion, the council passed a resolution that said, in
part, that Bush "'has acted contrary to law, and violated his oath to
uphold the Constitution of the United States."
