Betty Hall announces Public Hearing to Petition Congress for Impeachment<br \/>\n<br \/>\nNew Hampshire Representative Betty Hall announces Expert Witnesses to testify at Legislative Hearing for House Resolution 24 to Commence Impeachment Procedures in the US Congress.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRepresentative Betty Hall&#8217;s focus on House Resolution 24 begins the process of Impeachment for the President and the Vice President at the State level. In the State of New Hampshire, the procedure then goes to committee for a public hearing. It is that hearing that welcomes expert witness and public comment and is scheduled at the State Legislative Office Building, Rooms 305 and 307, Tuesday February 19 at 1:00 pm.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nKey to New Hampshire&#8217;s legislative process is the strong committee&#8217;s recommendation for passive [sic] in the full House vote. Because the committee level is crucial, Representative Hall has invited a number of expert witnesses to testify on five distinctive articles for Impeachment. Witness testimony will include Selectman Dan De Walt VT, Herb Hoffman ME NEImpeach.org, John Kaminski Maine Lawyers for Democracy and Paul Lehto, Lawyer representing Election Integrity. <\/p>\n<p>What is unique for NH citizens, is that every bill introduced and sent to committee receives a vote in the full House. In NH there are 400 House legislators from a relatively small population state. In order for HR24 to be brought to Washington DC, only House passage is needed, neither a vote in the Senate nor a signature from the Governor is needed to commence impeachment in the US Congress. In addition, The New Hampshire Bill of Rights retains since 1784, the right to revolution. No wonder the state&#8217;s motto &#8220;Live Free or Die&#8221; applies to the people&#8217;s trials. <\/p>\n<p>The House Resolution procedure to commence impeachment procedure in the US Congress is part of a history making effort from a State level. The Founding Fathers of the Constitution, created this remedy for the people, to set impeachment in motion under Section 603 of Jefferson&#8217;s Manual, by charges transmitted by a State legislature. <\/p>\n<p>The State&#8217;s ability to bring forth the people&#8217;s voice to the Federal level, without the strong arm of Washington DC spin, may be small defined, but for imperative measures, the effort of Betty Hall&#8217;s HR24 may out live this generation, yet become the ultimate duty of the people&#8217;s effort as only a sampling of the Founders past. <\/p>\n<p>Representative Hall has worked tirelessly to make sure the people&#8217;s voice is heard in New Hampshire. The committee hearing serves as an opportunity for the public to become involved, expressing the voice of a true democracy.<br \/>\nHall has declared that she will join the Code Pink hunger strike and is &#8220;willing to die for impeachment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Members of the PDA community in New Hampshire and surrounding areas are encouraged to attend the public hearing to show support for Rep. Hall and this House Resolution.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100620221435\/http:\/\/pdamerica.org\/articles\/news\/2008-02-16-10-17-13-news.php\">(Source)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progressive Democrats of America NH State Rep.
