Impeachment is back

ARCATA -- Impeachment is on the agenda again this week.
City Councilman Dave Meserve will ask the council at Wednesday's meeting to approve his resolution calling for the immediate impeachment of President
George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney.
The vote in Arcata on Wednesday is likely to attract some national attention.
Last month the Santa Cruz City Council voted to send a letter asking the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the Bush administration.
Meserve's resolution, which he is sponsoring on behalf of Veterans for Peace, is somewhat stronger.
As written when presented at an Aug. 20 meeting, the resolution reads, "The City Council of the city of Arcata calls upon the United States House of
Representatives to immediately impeach George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney."
The case for impeachment outlined in the resolution focuses on the war in Iraq and statements the president made in his State of the Union address
that turned out to be false.
The City Council declined to take action at the Aug. 20 meeting, although Mayor Bob Ornelas said he would vote for the resolution.
To gauge support for the resolution, in early September Meserve and the Veterans for Peace held a town meeting, which was dominated by those who want
to impeach the president.
Meserve said the resolution on Wednesday's agenda is identical to the one that came before the council in August.
He needs just one more vote to get it passed....
