Flashermac Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 BRATTLEBORO, Vt. - A town petition making President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney subject to arrest for crimes against the Constitution has triggered a barrage of criticism from people who say residents are "wackjobs" and "nuts." In e-mail messages, voicemail messages and telephone calls, outraged people are calling the measure the equivalent of treason and vowing never to visit Vermont. "Has everyone up there been out in the cold too long?" said one. "I would like to know how I could get some water from your town," said another. "It's obvious that there is something special in it." The petition â?? with more than 436 signatures, or at least the 5 percent of voters necessary to be considered â?? was submitted Thursday and the town Select Board voted 3-2 Friday to put it on the ballot. It goes to a town-wide vote March 4. It reads: "Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictments for consideration by other authorities and shall it be the law of the Town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro Police, pursuant to the above-mentioned indictments, arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro if they are not duly impeached, and prosecute or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them?" News of the measure made the rounds on the Internet, and soon people started calling and writing. The Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce got about 60 e-mails Monday, all of them negative, said Executive Director Jerry Goldberg. A day later, he said, "we had three or four calls in a row that were very positive. One even volunteered to help." Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hard to find USA citizens that have a backbone. I am surprise of the number of people that believe these people are wrong and Bush and Cheney are right. Hard to believe anybody would agree that Bush and Cheney's actions are fully approved and endorsed by USA citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
