Vermont Town To Vote On Arresting Bush & Cheney
Brattleboros chief of police stands ready to arrest Bush and/or Cheney.
We told you about this when it first popped up about a month ago, it was approved for the ballot, and now the date has been set to vote…
Note how the guy cites the Soros-Funded bogus Iraq body count…
BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont.
The Brattleboro Select Board voted 3-2 Friday to put the controversial item on the Town Meeting Day warning.
According to Town Clerk Annette Cappy, organizers of the Bush-Cheney issue gathered enough signatures, and it was up to the Select Board whether Brattleboro voters would consider the issue in March.
Cappy said residents will get to vote on the matter by paper balloting March 4.
Kurt Daims, 54, of Brattleboro, the organizer of the petition drive, said Friday the debate to get the issue on the ballot was a good one. Opposition to the vote focused on whether the town had any power to endorse the matter.
“It is an advisory thing,” said Daims, a retired prototype machinist and stay-at-home dad of three daughters.
So far, Vermont is the only state Bush hasn’t visited since he became president in 2001.
Daims said the most grievous crime committed by Bush and Cheney was perjury — lying to Congress and U.S. citizens about the basis of a war in Iraq.
He said the latest count showed a total of 600,000 people have died in the war.
Daims also said he believed Bush and Cheney were also guilty of espionage for spying on American people and obstruction of justice, for the politically generated firings of U.S. attorneys.
Voting to put the matter on the town ballot were Chairwoman Audrey Garfield and board members Richard Garrant and Dora Boubalis.
Voting against the idea were board members Richard DeGray and Stephen Steidle.
Daims said the names submitted to the town clerk’s office were the second wave of signatures the petition drive had to collect, because he had to rewrite the wording of the petition.
He said he gathered nearly 500 signatures in about three weeks, and he said most people he encountered were eager to sign it. He started the petition drive about three months ago.
“Everybody I talked to wanted Bush to go,” he said, noting that even members of the local police department supported the drive.
“This is exactly what the charter envisioned as a citizen initiative,” Daims said. “People want to express themselves and they want to say how they feel.”
He said the idea is spreading: Activists in Louisville, Ky., are spearheading a similar drive, and he said activists were also working in Montague, Mass., a Berkshires town.
The article asked 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.”
The article goes on to say the indictments would be the “law of the town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro police … arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro, if they are not duly impeached …”
Daims said people in Brattleboro were willing to “think outside the box” and consider the issue.
Daims had no compunction in comparing Bush and Cheney with one of the most notorious people in history.
“If Hitler were still alive and walked through Brattleboro, I think the local police would arrest him for war crimes,” Daims said.

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
even if Soros’ numbers were correct… one couldn’t compare bush to hitler until that number meets or exceeds 6milion, AND Bush was insanely committing mass genocide on innocent people…
I HATE LIBERALS!!!! these people have no fucking clue and live in their own little narcissistic bubbles of greed and vile-slimy liberal garbage! if these people were capable of thinking outside the box they wouldn’t be liberals anymore!!!
i’m for starting a petition to arrest EVERY citizen of brattleboro simply on principle, for being a liberal!!

January 28th, 2008 at 3:51 pmThese people are traitors. We dont have any need for them in this country. Why dont we take a vote on whether to indict these people on treason charges.

The Reno 911 pic is a very nice touch to this pile-o-shit story.
Hey, Bush and Cheney can hide out at my house when the warrent goes out. (Ruby Ridge, anyone?)
It’s a pity these people can’t see how fucking stupid they look … or they’d be doubled over and crapping themselves in laughter.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pmVermont makes me sick. I live in NY which isn’t much better. Remember VT is the state Bill O’Reilly pointed goes out of its way to protect pedophiles by not enacting Jessica’s Law. Heavily populated by 50 year old Subaru-driving, graduate degreed lesbians. Gomorrah of the US without a doubt.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pmId like to be there when the battleboro PD gets a lesson in subdual and arrest from Bushes security detail.

You called?
Here’s my solution: An all expense paid trip to Mecca and Medina. They will all wear complimentary T-shirts that say “I use the Koran for toilet paper” in Arabic. The only problem is that most Arabs probably don’t know what toilet paper is, but I’m sure enough will get it and inform their co-religionists.
Problem solved. Just to make things perfect, we’ll turn the empty town over to Arab Christians fleeing the “tolerant” regimes in the Middle East.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:39 pmHeh. O’Reilly just brought this up. His solution? Send Cheney on a hunting trip.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:56 pmI thought drugs were illegal in Vermont? What’d they do…legalize drugs and put it in the water supply? WTF, over?
January 28th, 2008 at 6:01 pmI always knew I was glad to be from the south….This guy looks like a Hitler youth. I just can’t stop laughing…sorry but I’ve never read anything so funny before…Leave it to Vermont….

January 28th, 2008 at 10:44 pmAren’t his shorts a “little” too tight? What a bunch of boobs. I’ll sign a petition with my name and address. No more maple syrup on anything!!

January 29th, 2008 at 5:22 amWhat a merry troop of fools they are in Vermont! We are a Marine Corps family, and we support the Commander in Chief–yes, we even supported Clinton, although we didn’t agree with his politics, policies, or personal behavior. As for Vermont, they certainly don’t provide much benefit to the rest of the nation—the skiing is average at best, and the state’s only notable exports are liberals and more liberals…not to mention the liberal crackpots. We regularly visit family in New Hampshire and Maine, we will endeavor not to even DRIVE THROUGH Vermont, under any circumstances. They’ll get no tourist dollars from us, and no more tolerance, either. Secede, already, you jackasses!

There is now a National petition in support of the Brattleboro movement.

Bush and Cheney have done more harm to the US and it’s economy then they have against Iraq.
