\nTown of Ithaca NY Unanimously Passes Call for Investigations of Bush and Cheney for Possible Impeachment
\nSubmitted by Chip
\nRESOLUTION NO. TB 2007-127 – CALLING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION OF EVIDENCE THAT MAY WARRANT IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES<\/p>\n

WHEREAS, substantial evidence has been gathered that indicates that President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney have committed high crimes and misdemeanors, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS, said high crimes and misdemeanors include, but may not be limited to:<\/p>\n

Conspiracy to defraud the United States, in knowingly misleading Congress and the American people regarding Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction and ties to al Qaeda, as a pretext for leading our nation into war
\nViolating international treaties to which the United States is a signatory and legally bound, in particular the Geneva Conventions, in the use of torture\/extreme interrogation and extraordinary rendition
\nViolating the constitutional amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures, in engaging in wiretapping without a warrant on American citizens and otherwise violating citizens’ right to privacy
\nWillfully and maliciously revealing the identify of a U.S. covert operative in violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act
\nConducting or suborning other federal employees to conduct political activities on government property, in violation of the Hatch Act
\nSpecifically in the case of the president, refusing to produce information requested as part of Congress’ oversight authority, in violation of the Presidential Records Act and in defiance of the constitutional separation of powers
\nSpecifically in the case of the president, declaring in his signing statements of legislation passed by Congress his intention to disregard his constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws of the United States, and
\nWHEREAS, the result of some of the above-listed actions has undermined the Constitution of the United States and its protections that are the foundation of our democracy and civil liberties, has compromised our security by damaging our international reputation as a defender of human rights and the rule of law, and has ballooned the national debt, with concomitant loss to local governments of federal financial support for local infrastructure and other programs, shifting costs to local property tax payers, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS, Congress has begun the process of holding hearings to examine several of these charges, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS, the Rules of the House of Representatives call for the referral of possible articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee for investigation, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS, the members of this Town Board have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and to discharge their duties of office, which include providing for the general welfare of the town, now therefore be it<\/p>\n

RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca strongly urges the leaders of the New York State legislature and the members who represent the Town of Ithaca to work to have the New York State Assembly and\/or New York State Senate similarly request on our behalf that Congress appropriately and formally investigate such charges as to whether they warrant impeachment,<\/p>\n

RESOLVED, further, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca strongly urges members of Congress who represent the Town of Ithaca and Tompkins
\nCounty to support the investigation and review of said charges and that such support be evidenced by a written request to that effect addressed to the Speaker of the House,<\/p>\n

RESOLVED, further, that copies of this resolution be delivered to U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Hillary Clinton; Representatives Maurice Hinchey and Michael Arcuri; New York State Senators Joseph Bruno, Malcolm Smith, and George Winner; Assembly members Sheldon Silver, James Tedisco, and Barbara Lifton; and the media.
