Amherst, MA to Vote on Impeachment

Amherstbulletin — When Shutesbury voters head to the polls on Saturday, they will be asked to approve a $5.18 million budget, select a new town moderator, support a resolution for more public interaction with radio station WFCR and to support the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. … The final scheduled article of the meeting will ask voters to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, citing deceptive practices on the administration’s part in justifying the war in Iraq, deploying National Guard troops overseas, warrantless wiretapping, approving the use of torture and spending billion of dollars on, what the article calls, “an illegal war” that could have been used elsewhere.

The Special and annual Town Meetings and Town Election will be held at the Shutesbury elementary school, beginning at 9 a.m. Polls will be open at the school from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. (More)
