Green Party of California delegates at state convention vote to impeach Bush and others for
roles in Iraq war, attacks on civil liberties at home

MOORPARK, Ca. (June 27, 2006) The Green Party of California
General Assembly, meeting here over the weekend at its state convention,
overwhelming voted to approve a resolution calling for the impeachment of
Pres. George W. Bush, and other members of his administration, for "high
crimes and misdemeanors."

Green delegates also endorsed their statewide candidate slate for
November, headed by gubernatorial candidate Peter Camejo, and approved two new
planks one strengthening support for "Democratic Unionism" and another
calling for an end to "agricultural dumping" of U.S. products that weaken
agricultural economies of other countries.

The impeachment resolution calls for impeaching and removing from office
of Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense
Donald H. Rumsfeld and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Most of the reasons cited in the resolution directly involved the war in
Iraq, including the "deception" by the Bush Administration employed to
start the war, the use of illegal chemical and biological weapons by the
U.S., the targeting of civilians with military weapons, the torture of
prisoners and violation of international treaties prohibiting those
actions.

The resolution also condemns the increasing attacks on civil liberties in
the U.S., specifically citing warrantless searches â?" including recent
revelations of NSA spying on citizens, and the use of "indefinite
detentions" of U.S. citizens without the right to a speedy and public
trial.

The resolution specifically noted that the Bush Administration used
"deliberate deceptions (by) repeatedly, consciously, and with
forethought, lying to the American people and the U.S. Congress by providing false and
deceptive rationales for an unjustified and illegal war in Iraq."

Finally, the GPCA added two more counties to its roster, officially
recognizing county delegations from San Benito and Kern counties.
