Another Vermont Petition Circulates
by Mike Gleason
SHAFTSBURY — Residents are using a staple of small New England towns to achieve a national goal.Andrew Schoerke and others are trying to get the issue of impeaching President Bush considered at the annual town meeting this March. A petition to this effect has already been started.
This effort echoes a move made last year by Vermont towns to call for Bush’s impeachment.
“The idea originated last year, when five communities included a resolution in their town meeting agenda for impeachment,” Schoerke said. “There are now over 48 towns in Vermont where they’re trying to get a similar resolution considered.”
The towns involved last year were Newfane, Brookfield, Dummerston, Putney and Marlboro. The Bennington County Democratic Committee unanimously passed a resolution to have the state legislature support impeachment as well.
