Though largely ignored by in-state and out-of-state media, the
Democratic Party of Wisconsin adopted the following resolution on
Saturday June 11, 2005, during their annual State Convention:
CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE
SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
WHEREAS, the Downing Street Memo shows that Bush, Cheney and
Rumsfeld began planning and executing the war on Iraq before seeking
Congressional and UN approval;
WHEREAS, UN weapons inspectors showed prior to the invasion
that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and
WHEREAS, there is further mounting evidence that the
Administration lied or misled about "mushroom clouds," "connections to
9/11," and "war as a last resort" as they sought UN, Congressional, and
public approvals;
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, the DPW asks Congress to immediately begin
impeachment proceedings against President Bush, Vice President Cheney
and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.
