New Mexico Democrats call for Bush impeachment

By SUE MAJOR HOLMES

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - The New Mexico Democratic Party is calling for President Bush's removal from office.

Party Chairman John Wertheim said Tuesday that delegates to Saturday's state party convention supported a call for the president's impeachment largely because of "perceived abuses of power and corruption in the Bush administration."

He listed as examples of abuses of power, warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens, the misstatement of facts preceding the invasion of Iraq, and the scandal surrounding the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide in connection with the leak of the identity of a covert CIA operative.

"Everyone understands President Bush is not going to be impeached," Wertheim said. "But these abuses of power and corruption in the administration are deeply serious matters and there should be more talk about this abuse of power."

The one-sentence amendment, added from the floor to the platform's section on political and election reform, reads: "Resolved, that the Democratic Party of New Mexico supports the impeachment of President George Bush and his lawful removal from office."

Brattleboro to consider Bush impeachment

March 21, 2006

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. --The town will consider a resolution at its representative town meeting on Saturday that will call for the impeachment of President Bush.

If the resolution passes, Brattleboro would join five other communities that have asked Vermont's U.S. Rep. Bernard Sanders to file articles of impeachment against the president.

Brattleboro Town Representative Dora Bouboulis said she wanted Brattleboro to follow the trend begun by Newfane, Dummerston, Marlboro, Putney and Brookfield.

"If we have the courage to do it, hopefully other communities across the country will do it as well," she said.
