Maine Dems Pass Impeachment Resolution

Delegates to the Maine Democratic Convention in Augusta voted on June 3rd to pass a resolution that calls for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. The delegates stopped short however of including the resolution in the party platform.

The resolution calls on both the Maine legislature and US Congressmen Tom Allen and Mike Michaud to demand that the U.S. House of Representatives investigate ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ and commence impeachment proceedings if warranted. The Waldo County Democratic Committee in Maine voted on May 7th to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment. The South Portland Democratic City Committee has also passed a similar resolution.
