Organizers of the grassroots drive to get town meetings to back impeachment resolutions hope that the overwhelming support the initiative has received will convince Welch to introduce articles of impeachment against Bush and Cheney. That's something the Democratic congressman is resisting, even though his predecessor, Bernie Sanders, signed on last year to a proposal by Michigan Congressman John Conyers (news, bio, voting record) to set up a House committee to look into impeachment.

Vermont activists also want their legislature to approve articles of impeachment and forward them to Congress. But Symington, also a Democrat, has discouraged the initiative, despite the fact that more than 20 representatives have cosponsored an impeachment resolution.

"It's going to be hard for Peter Welch and Gaye Symington to say there's no sentiment for impeachment, now that their own towns have voted for it," says Dan DeWalt, a Newfane, Vermont, town selectman who started the impeachment initiative last year in his town, and who now plans to launch a campaign to pressure Welch and Symington to respect and reflect the will of the people.

That's why I capitalized their state and not mine ,Courage. Sorry Hillary you not hounding Congress for Impeachment is more of a dereliction of duty than voting for the war.

6. NM and Washington State are with you Vermont

both states are working hard to pass similar legislation.

this is what is called the citizens using the only mechanism left to affect change in the white house.

I applaud my fellow TRUE AMERICANS in Vermont for doing the right thing because it has to be done!
