Wisconsin Democrats Seek Impeachment
As more information around the Downing Street Memo begins to work its way into the press, more and more people are beginning to press the administration.
The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin reports:
Wisconsin Democrats are calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush,Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Loyalists at this weekend's state party convention in Oshkosh passed a resolution calling for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against the three officials for their role in the war in Iraq.
The resolution contends that the administration "lied or misled" the United Nations, Congress, and the American public about the justification for the war. It cites the so-called "Downing Street memo" from British Prime Minister Tony Blair's government, as well as reports from U.N. weapons inspectors as evidence of widespread deception.

As the story points out, the Wisconsin Democrats are not the first to pass such a resolution. Nevada (a red state) Democrats passed one last year.
They won't get what they want, but I appreciate their gumption.
