BRATTLEBORO (ruthlandherald.com) — 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.

Idiots.

It is nothing short of treason. The Iranians have got to be laughing their butts off at this one.

IDIOT! First, they were never under oath, so it couldn't be perjury even if they had lied. Second, they didn't lie. Every statement that has been trotted out as a lie has been confirmed as a true statement no matter how many times the BDS sufferers claim it is a lie.

Wonder what his name on DU is?

Can we ship all the residents of Brattleboro off to Theran? Perhaps they would prefer to live there (especially the women)!

[Falcon4.0]

So how is this they’re responsibility? Didn't the Courts just smack down Laws that would allow States to control illegal immigrants by stating that it was out of their jurisdictional responsibility. And now these morons want to hold War Crimes trials.

[tobyhill]

The worst part of this is that it’s making the enemies front pages and making the US look silly.

These kooks are getting an ear full from outraged normal folks:

Brattleboro, a very strange place, politely referred to as “unique” by some and a perennial magnet for needy attention seekers of all types. Who REALLY cares what they do??? This is one tired story.

Sounds more like they want to live in a commune to me.

[tobyhill]

While they’re getting an earful it’s too late, it’s making the front pages of the enemies propaganda outfit.

[chuckles]

I think Bush/ Cheney should give them a visit, and the Secret Service arrest the town council for treason and shoot any cops that move towards them. An American flag needs to be planted at city hall and declared American property again. Anyone not greeting us as liberators would be tazed.

[tobyhill]

Iran cares and this one little town has made a mockery of the whole US.

[JamesA]

The enemy within.....Treason and must be delt with now.

[shove_it]

Maybe we FReepers should start a petition to charge the town of Brattleboro with treason.
