WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) – Impeachment activists called on U.S. Rep. Peter Welch at an emotional meeting yesterday to initiate impeachment investigations against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as they criticized him for supporting additional funding for the war.
At the town meeting-style forum, Welch — who said Thursday that he supports a redeployment bill that would fund the war for two more months — told the feisty crowd that his goal was to end the war in Iraq and that impeachment proceedings would interfere and prolong the fighting.

“History will impeach George Bush. We must end this war,” he said.

Ben Burd, of Middlebury, disagreed. “We need to judge them now,” he said, asking Welch to stop the funding for the war and call for impeachment. “Let the American people know the truth,” he said.

About 200 people turned out for the meeting, which was requested by activists. Yesterday, Welch extended the gathering from 90 minutes to two hours so most people who wanted to speak could.

He praised those involved with the impeachment movement.

    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 trade”; 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 the”U.S.A” 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!
