Granite Status: [New Hampshire] Democrats call for Bush impeachment
By JOHN DISTASO, http://www.unionleader.com
STATE DEMOCRATS did more than listen to rousing speeches at their convention last Saturday at St. Anselm College.
They passed several resolutions — chief among them a call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush because he “has committed high crimes and misdemeanors as he has repeatedly and intentionally violated the United States Constitution and other laws of the United States.”
Is that all? No.
Before voting overwhelmingly by a show of hands on that one, there was a strong voice vote to censure the President — a resolution submitted on behalf of one of the keynote speakers, “red meat” Wisconsin Sen. Russell Feingold.
The censure motion contended Bush authorized the illegal wire-tapping of “perhaps more than 1 million Americans.”
State Democratic Party Kathy Sullivan acknowledged that the two, taken together, may have been “a bit of overkill,” but, she said, “You’ve got people here who are very angry with George Bush.”
She did not speak against them. “It was not my job to speak in favor or against resolutions.” But as a delegate, she voted against them because “I don’t think the majority of voters want the Congress to be spending time on impeachment or censure.”
The convention also backed resolutions:
Calling for “responsible, prompt withdrawal” from Iraq while supporting the troops there.
Supporting the state’s first-in-the-nation primary.
The censure and impeachment resolutions were opposed by the convention’s resolution committee, comprising state Rep. Jane Clemons of Nashua, Chaz Proulx of Exeter and Deb Crapo of Rye. The committee also said Democrats should focus on a positive agenda and leave such matters to the next Congress.
Who led the charge? The censure move was sponsored by Peter Somssich of Portsmouth and co-sponsored by Paul Wolfson of Hanover and Robert Padian of Portsmouth. The impeachment resolution was sponsored by Bob Perry of Stratford and co-sponsored by Manny Krasner of Farmington.
Sullivan said that for the fourth consecutive convention, an effort to add a pro-income tax plank to the party platform was rejected by voice vote.
“It was definitely an interesting convention,” understated Nick Clemons, the state party executive director.

NH Dems call for impeachment in convention
Great. Now, how about getting the State Assembly to call for impeachment with a majority vote in favor? Otherwise, it's great to see the momentum, but, even at this new level, "talk does not do the work".
