Two Vermont Towns OK Bush & Cheney Indictments

BRATTLEBORO - Voters in two southern Vermont towns passed articles Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for violating the Constitution.

More symbolic than substantive, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or nearby Marlboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere - if they’re not impeached first.

In Brattleboro, the vote was 2,012 for and 1,795 against. In Marlboro, it was 43 to 25, with three abstentions.

“I hope the one thing that people take from this is ‘Hey, it can be done,”‘ said Kurt Daims, 54, who organized the petition drive that led to the Brattleboro vote.

He said he hopes Bush and Cheney are never arrested here; he wants them impeached before that could happen.

“I voted in favor because I think Bush and Cheney have committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” said Brattleboro resident Ellen Schwarz.

“I think it’s outside the scope of town government,” countered Jeff Morris, who voted against the indictment. “When history writes George Bush’s story, he will be held in high regard for going into Iraq.”

1. I'd vote for their indictments
seems that will be the only way they will be brought to justice.
