On Feb 28, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors* by a
vote of 7-3. passed resolution #060156. It was officially titled “Resolution
calling for a full investigation, impeachment or resignation of President
George W Bush and Vice President Richard B Cheney.” The resolution was
initiated in part by local World Can’t Wait members and the office of
Supervisor Chris Daly; although the final language was the supervisors’ own.

Nov 2, several members of the Board of Supervisors had a hand in making the
World Cant Wait event happen, what with getting the permits, fees waived, doors
opened. Some of them spoke from the stage to the Call, enumerating the horrors
of the Bush regime and echoing state assemblyman Mark Leno’s editorial that “in
this dire situation, politics as usual will not do.”
