Resolutions calling for the impeachment investigations of President Bush and Vice President Cheney will be introduced to the Madison City Council and the Dane County Board this Tuesday and Thursday. The resolutions call for the U.S. House to commence impeachment investigations for an illegal war of aggression in Iraq, illegal torture of prisoners, illegal wiretapping of citizens and defrauding Congress and the American people in the run up to the war.
Rummel said, “In April alders and supervisors took our oath of office. My city oath says, ‘I will support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin, and the Charter of the City of Madison …’ I take this oath seriously. President Bush and Vice President Cheney are shredding the Constitution in front of our faces. It is our duty as elected officials to act to repair the damage they have done. We feel the people of Madison and Dane County are very concerned about the direction our nation is headed. More people each day are concluding that Bush and Cheney should be impeached. But Congress is taking little action. It is up to citizens and local government to demand impeachment action.”
No. You represent Madison, fine. Let the wacked-out tree-hugging liberals and disswayed College students show up and chant along with you. But don't speak for the people of Dane County. Let's let Sun Prairie, Oregon, Mt. Horeb, Middleton, Verona, Edgerton, De Forest, Mazomanie, Fitchburg, McFarland, Deerfield, Cross Plains and even UTICA decide for themselves if they'd like to join that list of 79 municipalities who agree with your brilliant impeachment idea.
Do you honestly think this is a valuable use of time for a city council? Could you argue that to your constituents? This bears a striking resemblance to the ridiculous recognition of the 9th planet of Pluto!
Hey Alder Golden, doesn't it seem to be a tad "offensive in the city of tolerance" ?
If I lived in Madison, I would want my city council to do something to combat the crime on Allied Drive, the rapes downtown on State Street, the trolley proposition, etc.
How about drawing some attention to the community, not for it's left-wing wacked-out propositions trying to save the planet from global warming and the United States' government, but for cleaning up crime and making the city an enjoyable, common-sense community to be a part of.

Amen to that. Besides, President Bush is likely not waiting to see what Madison thinks of his politics.
