Petition for Impeachment Investigations of Bush and Cheney
I call upon Vermont Congressman Peter Welch to introduce or cosponsor a resolution calling for investigation of Bush and Cheney and if the investigations support the charges, to vote to impeach them as provided in the Constitution of the United States of America.
Whereas George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have:
1. deliberately misled the nation about the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war,
2. condoned the torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention and US law,
3. approved illegal electronic surveillance of American citizens without a warrant; and
Whereas these actions have undermined our Constitutional system of government, damaged the reputation of America, and threatened our national security; and
Whereas 39 Vermont towns, the State Committee of the Democratic Party of Vermont, the Vermont State Senate, and the State Committee of the Vermont Progressive Party have all passed resolutions calling for impeachment investigations of Bush and Cheney;
Therefore, I call upon Vermont Congressman Peter Welch to introduce or cosponsor a resolution calling for investigation of Bush and Cheney regarding these charges, and if the investigations support the charges, to vote to impeach them as provided in the Constitution of the United States of America.
