Get your local governing body to support a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Thomas Nephew shows how it's done. He helpfully includes an answer to the standard opposition to any effort to get municipal government involved in federal issues. From one of the council members whomThomas addressed his co-speakers:
...I think that we can see that Congress has been intimidated by the president and by the whole national security apparatus, and that it's the place of local governments like Takoma Park, who don't suffer the same intimidation, to stand up and create some groundswell so that Congress understands that the people are behind this.
That's the right idea.
Hey, thanks! Minor point: the quote is by one of my fellow speakers, not a council member. But I suspect many of them agreed.
The Takoma Park IBC (Impeach Bush Cheney) people are great, and have done all the organizing so far, I'm but a foot soldier. I'm a pretty good one though! Got lots of signatures and sold lots of buttons and lawn signs at the Farmer's Market in the rain a couple weekends ago. I kind of like that stuff, gabbing at/with people.
