The question, of course, is what in the heck is wrong with the other 40 states?  We can&#8217;t find a single state legislator with the decency to uphold the U.S. Constitution and at least introduce a resolution to impeach?  Where are the states that created the Constitution?  Where are Massachusetts and Virginia?  What&#8217;s holding up New York?  Where in the world is Oregon?  Is this all the pressure we can muster in the cause of justice?<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s give credit where it&#8217;s due.  These 10 states have acted: CA, HI, IL, MN, MO, WA, VT, NM, WI, TX.  These 10 legislators who&#8217;ve taken the lead should be drafted to run for Congress (except for Ellison, whom we&#8217;ve already elected to Congress):  Les Ihara, Jr. HI; Lon Burnam TX; Gerald Ortiz y Pino NM; Eric Oemig WA; Paul Koretz CA; Daryl Pillsbury VT; Karen Yarbrough IL; Jamilah Nasheed MO; Frank Boyle WI; and Keith Ellison MN.  Special credit goes to Oemig and Ortiz y Pino who have come close to passing their bills.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/www.opednews2.com\"\/articles\/opedne_david_sw_070407_10_states_introduce_.htm>(Original Article)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpEdNews April 7, 2007 by David Swanson (See Swanson on Hannity &amp; Colmes) In 10 U.S. states, either this year or last year or both, the state legislature has introduced and considered, though not yet passed, a bill to petition the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Bush and Cheney.
