Here is the contact info for city council people: WARD 1, Paul Ostrow, 612-673-2201, paul.ostrow@ci.minneapolis.mn.us<\/a> We also need organizations and businesses to sign a letter of support for the Impeachment resolution. They can be mailed to: Here are the 10 reasons for impeachment: Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming. Here is a copy of the resolution we want placed on the agenda and considered for a vote:<\/p>\n Resolution to Impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney<\/p>\n WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney conspired with others to WHEREAS, George W. Bush has admitted to ordering the National Security WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B.

\n Please take 2 minutes to contact your city councilperson and ask him\/her to support and pass a resolution for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. During the June 13th forum with speakers from ImpeachforPeace.org<\/a>, Cam Gordon, Green Party City Councilman explained the strategic process for making it more feasible to get the Impeachment Resolution on the City Council agenda. If we inundate the city council with phone calls and emails every day, they will realize there is a strong grassroots movement of constituents behind this issue. Until then, they will simply believe that there are more important things to deal with (like the victimization of the poor).<\/p>\n
\n Some local elected officials may claim that this is a federal issue, but the policies made by the current administration are reducing our LGA (Local Government Aid) which we see affecting our local services.
\n Including unfunded promises made for Medicare, Social Security, and Federal retirement programs, US taxpayers now have a total debt of $59 TRILLION. That’s $516,000 for every US household. (USA Today)<\/p>\n
