Mass. Dems Keep National Momentum Going
May 21st, 2007

Impeachment momentum stretches now from one corner of our country to
another.  On Saturday, the Massachusetts Democratic Party resoundingly
passed a resolution to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney –
just 20 days after the California Democratic Party passed its impeachment
resolution.
With ever more revelations of an out-of-control White House (now with
sick-bed coercion), support for impeachment is growing generally and is
becoming mainstream inside the Democratic Party. . .except for a few
national leaders.
Both the California and Massachusetts resolutions were passed at the
Democratic state party conventions, both due to the leadership of
Progressive Democrats of America.  At both conventions, PDA’s impeachment
stickers were enthusiastically displayed by hundreds of delegates – whether
those delegates prefer Clinton or Kucinich or whomever.
The Massachusetts resolution called on the state’s delegation in Congress to
investigate Bush/Cheney for misleading our nation into war, torture and
warrantless wiretapping -- and “if the investigation supports the charges,
vote to impeach” both Bush and Cheney “as provided in the Constitution.”

Resolution to Impeach George W. Bush & Richard B. Cheney (5/19/07)

Whereas George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have:

  a.. Deliberately misled the nation about the threat from Iraq in order to
justify a war;

  b.. Condoned the torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva
Convention & US law;

  c.. Approved illegal electronic surveillance of American citizens without
a warrant; and,
Whereas these actions have undermined our constitutional system of
government, damaged the reputation of America, and threatened our national
security,
Therefore, the voters of the Massachusetts Democratic Convention call upon
the Massachusetts delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives to
investigate these charges and if the investigation supports the charges,
vote to impeach George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney as provided in the
Constitution of the United States of America.
