Brattleboro to vote on arresting Bush, Cheney

January 26, 2008

By Susan Smallheer Herald Staff

BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont.

The Brattleboro Select Board voted 3-2 Friday to put the controversial item on the Town Meeting Day warning.

According to Town Clerk Annette Cappy, organizers of the Bush-Cheney issue gathered enough signatures, and it was up to the Select Board whether Brattleboro voters would consider the issue in March.

Cappy said residents will get to vote on the matter by paper balloting March 4.

Kurt Daims, 54, of Brattleboro, the organizer of the petition drive, said Friday the debate to get the issue on the ballot was a good one. Opposition to the vote focused on whether the town had any power to endorse the matter.

"It is an advisory thing," said Daims, a retired prototype machinist and stay-at-home dad of three daughters.

So far, Vermont is the only state Bush hasn't visited since he became president in 2001.

Daims said the most grievous crime committed by Bush and Cheney was perjury — lying to Congress and U.S. citizens about the basis of a war in Iraq.

He said the latest count showed a total of 600,000 people have died in the war.

Daims also said he believed Bush and Cheney were also guilty of espionage for spying on American people and obstruction of justice, for the politically generated firings of U.S. attorneys.

Voting to put the matter on the town ballot were Chairwoman Audrey Garfield and board members Richard Garrant and Dora Boubalis.

Voting against the idea were board members Richard DeGray and Stephen Steidle.

Daims said the names submitted to the town clerk's office were the second wave of signatures the petition drive had to collect, because he had to rewrite the wording of the petition.

He said he gathered nearly 500 signatures in about three weeks, and he said most people he encountered were eager to sign it. He started the petition drive about three months ago.

I loved this part of the article :

"Everybody I talked to wanted Bush to go," he said, noting that even members of the local police department supported the drive."

I can't wait to see the headline

Brattleboro Police Department officers decimated in battle with Secret Service! :lol:

[Tom]

...also on the meeting's agenda, what whould they do with the garbage they have been collecting every Tuesday for the last 20 years?

The Mayor's garage is now full!




What a bunch of losers. I've seen neighborhoods biger than Vermont. :lol:

[Marshall Bennett]

sounds like a bunch of shit Ted Kennedy conjured up !!

Grass roots organizations all over the country want the two idiots that sent the nation on a course of destruction OUT of there. Why is that any surprise??

[dutchboy]

Are you referring to Bill and Hillary Clinton? Might be a bit harsh to call two fine Democrats idiots.

Grass roots organizations all over the country want the two idiots that sent the nation on a course of destruction OUT of there. Why is that any surprise??Grassrooting for what, something like SEVEN YEARS now, and still, NOTHING.

Bush/Cheney will serve out their complete term as Pres/Vice Pres, and will never be arrested or impeached.

Once again, all we get from the far-left is ALL TALKY, NO BALLSY.

Not once have you proven my statement false. Lots of promises.....perp walks, impeachments, arrests, etc. etc.

Empty promises from the left again....what a shocker....

[Tom]

That would be a great debate questio - do you favor, and would you support today, the impeachment of Bush and/or Chenney?

Put them on the spot for a definate anser.
But then, the whole purpose of the debates is to avoid issues and focus on stupdid stuff. So far so good.

I would love to see any of this bunch of lyting losers debate either Kennedy or Nixon in a real debate. Or even a third graders with a C averge.

As each debate goes down, it get more and more obvious that the USA is doomed. No matter who, no matter what side, not there is really any difference. :mad::(

OH , that must be why they voted them back into office, gives them a little more time to get their case together.
aaaaaaaaaa, not confused, or are you? Hey take your time.

Actually, we could fit in another three or four more wars by the time you get yourself ready for the BIG PEACH:sleeping:


I'll be waiting.

"Daims said the names submitted to the town clerk's office were the second wave of signatures the petition drive had to collect, because he had to rewrite the wording of the petition."
Why? Do they really think impeachment begins with a city petition?

[Tom]

They are PO'd because they didn't get to caucus.

That and all the "change" that they will bring - again, to specifics.

Mukasey won't comment on waterboarding

(extract)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday he will refuse to publicly say whether the interrogation tactic known as waterboarding is illegal, digging in against critics who want the Bush administration to define it as torture.

IMHO, the obvious solution to this BS is to waterboard the president.... with the understanding that it will stop the moment the prexy indicates that it's "torture."

7 years later, not only is Cheney not in jail, he's receiving honors.

Incredible.

What is truly incredible is Bill Clinton walking around a free man after decades of serial rapes and sexual abuse of women. Add to that committing treason for selling military secrets and technology to the communists Chinese.

What is truly incredible is Hillary Clinton being the Democrat Party nominee for president despite a career of complete failure and corruption.

Do you find it incredible that trailer trash such as the Clintons are multi-millionaires today? Same for Obama, whose highest salary he ever earned is when he was elected president. Yet he's a multi-millionaire today too.

Incredible.

Incredible.Do you just make these things up as you type? Obama is not a multi-millionaire. His tax returns which he makes public, unlike some of GOP rivals, do add up to him having that kind of money. He will likely become a multi-millionaire after he leaves office however. What I find incredible is that Donald Trump is being hailed as a great businessman, when if he had just taken his inheritance and put on it on interest, he would have at least twice the fortune he has today. I am constantly amazed by how many people are falling for a guy who claims going to a military style private high school for rich kids is the same as going through basic training. And then getting more draft deferments than Clinton and Cheney combined.

This paragraph makes no sense. If the poster is making it up, why do you agree with him?

Robert Goren has a form of dyslexia which causes him to leave out words. I'm sure he meant to type-and thought he typed-do not add up.

Once again you post something as FACT, without taking the time to check it out.
Barack’s net worth is around the $12.2 million mark, his wife, Michelle Obama’s net worth stands at $11.8 million.

Now, maybe, in your elite class, that's not considered a multi-millionaire, but from my poor part of the country, THAT is MULTI-MILLIONAIRE status. :rolleyes:

[Tom]

Now, where did he get all that money?
