Vermont Town Backs Bush Impeachment
By DAVID GRAM
Associated Press Writer
NEWFANE, Vt. --
In a white-clapboard town hall, circa 1832, voters gathered Tuesday to
conduct their community's business and to call for the impeachment of
President Bush.
"In the U.S. presently there are only a few places where citizens can
act in this fashion and have a say in our nation," said select board
member Dan DeWalt, who drafted the impeachment article that was placed
on the warning -- or official agenda -- for the annual town meeting, a
proud Yankee tradition in New England.
"It absolutely affects us locally," Dewalt said.
"It's our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, who are dying"
in the war in Iraq.
The article, approved 121-29 in balloting by paper, calls on Vermont's
lone member of the House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file
articles of impeachment against the president, alleging that Bush
misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic
spying.
The impeachment item came at the end of a roughly four-hour meeting
that was devoted mostly to the local affairs of the town of 1,600.
Among the other items discussed was whether the town should fix some of
the 100-year-old sidewalks in the village.
The impeachment discussion took up almost half an hour, reflecting the
intense interest in the topic and something of a division over whether
the town meeting was the appropriate place to debate it.
Ann Landenberger argued that it was appropriate.
"As a teacher I can't say to my kids that what happens on the national
level doesn't affect us at the local level," she said.
"Would that we could all be in a cocoon, but that is not the case."
