By Kathleen Rowland, COLUMBUS DISPATCH
In front of more than a dozen residents wearing peach “Impeach Bush and Cheney” buttons, the Oberlin City Council voted unanimously to ask the House of Representatives to do just that.
Last night’s vote backs a petition signed by 648 Oberlin residents and makes Oberlin the first city in Ohio to formally support impeaching the president and vice president. Fifty-seven other cities and Vermont’s legislature have passed similar measures.
Oberlin, southwest of Cleveland, is no stranger to earning accolades and criticism for its progressive firsts. It’s home to Oberlin College, which was the first college in America to admit black students (1835) and the first college to award a bachelor’s degree to women (1841). In 2005, the council passed a motion urging a moratorium on the death penalty.
“Oberlin is a friendly place for this sort of measure,” said June Goodwin, who spearheaded the impeachment campaign.

A Patriot’s Message
The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end.
The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer and investor protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements†like Social Security and health care.
The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; immigration; globalization and “free tradeâ€; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing†with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
The ideal corporate model is “Communism†where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own theâ€U.SA†resulting in “Globalization†and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!
