Vt. towns approve Bush 'indictment'
By JOHN CURRAN, Associated Press Writer 7 minutes ago
Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution.
More symbolic than anything, 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 2,012-1,795. In Marlboro, which held a town meeting on the issue, it was 43-25 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.
The measure in Marlboro isn't binding because it didn't appear on the warning for the meeting, according to Nora Wilson.
"It was emotional. There were heartfelt speeches on both sides," Wilson said.
The question put to voters in Brattleboro referred to "crimes against our Constitution" but did not specify the allegations.
In Brattleboro, a steady stream of voters paraded into the Union High School gym to cast their ballots on a day when school board elections and Vermont's presidential primary were also on the slate.
Voters interviewed after casting ballots said they saw the article as an opportunity to express their frustration over the war in Iraq and Bush's tenure in general.
"I realize it's an extreme thing to do, and really silly in a way," said Robert George, 74, a retired photographer. "But I'm really angry about us getting involved in the war in Iraq and him (Bush) disrespecting the will of the people."

Bunch of idiots. As I’ve said before, it’s a shame Vermont was occupied by left-wing morons. E.g., Howard Dean.
Vermont.......where old hippies go to die!!
These people are insane.
It’s coming, too.
Hatred makes people do crazy things.
4000 are dead and democrats want to blame the President.
Be patient; they’ll cook up the pretext to Impeach him this summer.
The President needs to go there and give a speech at the local VFW.
And I am going to throw out my “Vermont Country Store” catalog.......
Did they indict everyone else who voted for the war funding at one time or another, such as HRC?
I want to see some lesbian cop from Brattleboro PD try to get past Secret Service and cuff W and Cheney. That should be a riot....
Haha, I love this:
I’m really angry!
Let’s go do something about it! Something extreme and silly! Extremely silly! Yeah, that’s it! That will show him!
So, uh, what specific “crime” against the constitution are we talking about, here?
Well, you know, the Iraq War and dissing the will of the PEOPLE! Nothing specific, I guess. I can’t really specify any allegations. But boy am I angry! Angry enough to do something silly!!
I assume you mean indict. The names Jeffords, Sanders, and especially Leahy leap to mind.
Or you could say:
Take a aerial intercourse on a revolving pastry....
It's only fair ya' know.
WHEN PELOSI AND REID LIED (about ending the war) THE LIBTARDS’ DREAM (of an American defeat) DIED. They’ll never get over that...liberal agony in perpetuity!
Voters in two Vermont towns = Traitors
The WINNER IS:
