Gateway to the Redwoods Passes Resolution 4-1 Directing Congress to Impeach Bush - Cheney
Willits, CA, known as the "Gateway to the Redwoods" in the heart of Mendocino County, is celebrating a local victory.
After months of presentations to the City Council and private talks with each its members, last night Mayor Holly Madrigal presented a Resolution calling for Willits City Council to vote to direct Congress to hold impeachment hearings on Bush and Cheney. The council chamber was packed, and many people spoke eloquently on this administration's abuse of powers, violations of civil liberties, illegal invasion of Iraq, admitted use of torture, obstructing needed environmental measures, and lying to the American people about the run up to the war.
We presented the council with over 300 signatures on petitions, and 300 more names were on county-distributed petitions submitted by Robin Warren. Greg Kanne, Holly Madrigal, Karen Oslund, and Larry Stranske (a conservative Republican who hates what Bush is doing, and usually is opposed to any taking "non-local" actions) voted for, Tami Jorgenson against as she feels her role as council member is limited to local issues and does not call for her comments on broader issues.
Melinda Clarke wishes to thank everyone who signed and circulated petitions, who helped out this historic moment for Willits. Since Linda Williams, reporter from Willits News, was not present, she asks that all who were there write letters and statements to the paper. Melinda notes that they have also heard from Mike Thompson's office (CA-1st District) that he has finally taken the step towards signing on publicly for an impeachment hearing, this week sending John Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee a letter stating his position. Let's call Thompson's office and thank him.

California leads the nation again
Somehow out in the west people's heads are clearer and they are able to differentiate between a politician and a war criminal. Every town, city and hamlet in America has been harmed by the crimes, both high and low, of the Bush regime.
