BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — They just won’t take no for an answer.
Supporters of a move to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, informed by legislative leaders this past week that impeachment resolutions won’t be debated in the House or Senate, say they haven’t given up.
They spent the weekend trying to rally at least one person from each of 40 towns that voted favorably on impeachment resolutions on Town Meeting Day and get them to go to the Statehouse to lobby lawmakers on Tuesday.
“Every time we get a roadblock from the Legislature, more and more citizens are outraged,” said Dan Dewalt, a Newfane Select Board member who got his town to become one of the first to vote for impeachment last year.
On Tuesday, “They’re going to see a large impeachment presence,” Dewalt said. (More)
