 Back to Impeach News Members of The Green Party of Utah have embarked upon the mission of creating a case of war crimes against George W. Bush. A list of signatories will be attached. The case will be presented to the United Nations when the entire document is completed. See these research pages on this case can be found at: U.S. State Green Party Impeachment NewsWisconsinJune 13, 2007: Several Green members of the Dane County Board and Madison Common Council (Vedder, Kumar, and Rummel) have drafted resolutions calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. These resolutions will go to a vote of the full Madison Common Council and the full Dane County Board within the next two months.An ad hoc coalition - the Impeachment Coalition of Dane County - has come together with the backing of members of various political parties (Democrats, Progressive Dane, Socialist Party), activists from Veterans for Peace, MAPC, NLG, various unions, and more, and the Four Lakes Green Party itself. Needed most of all right now is the formal support of every local peace and justice organization, every pro-democracy group, in order to build pressure on the County Board and Common Council to vote to impeach. These resolutions are an important part of the national movement for impeachment. U.S. Rep. Baldwin, and U.S. Sen. Feingold and Kohl have yet to get fully behind the current push for impeachment. They need to hear from their constituents. Your organizations can help by getting involved now. Please see the resolution below, modify it if need be, and bring it to your organization for an endorsement vote. Please let me know at manski@greens.org of your action, and I'll be sure to send you updates on upcoming meetings and events. Resolution to Impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B.

Bush violated the United Nations Charter and the United States Constitution by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause: and WHEREAS, George W.
