WE THE
PEOPLE!
Deanna Gorzynski 5/22/07
Much of the recent hope and
renewed zeal we at World Can’t Wait hold for driving out the Bush Regime is coming
from the strong and inspiring work of citizens in their governments with
conscience.
Mayors of cities like Mayor
Rocky
Anderson, (D) Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah and Mayors of smaller towns like Mayor
John Shields (D) Mayor of Nyack N.Y. and the people they represent and serve
have stepped up to say, “Step Down!”
We
gratefully add more proud and powerful names to our list, Linda Boyd, the
director of Washington For Impeachment and Member of the Snohomish County
Democratic Central Committee, the Committee Members she serves with, and the
populace they represent.
They
join three other County Democratic organizations, 10 Democratic legislative
districts, and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee.
Please
take a deep breath and read CAREFULLY the following information Ms. Boyd sent us. WE CAN, WE MUST STILL DRIVE THE LAWBREAKERS OUT OF
THE WHITEHOUSE AND WASHINGTON AND REPUDIATE THEIR ENTIRE AGENDA !!!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Great news for Democracy! Citizens
across Washington State continue to exercise their right and
responsibility to call this government into account:
On May 19th, the Snohomish County
Democratic Central Committee
passed a resolution to impeach Bush and Cheney! They join three other
County Democratic organizations, 10 Democratic legislative districts,
and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee in the
call to impeach Bush and Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Greater Seattle Area Local, American Postal Workers Union and the
Martin Luther King Jr. County Labor Council and the Council Delegates passed
impeachment resolutions in May.
WE WILL IMPEACH THEM AND RESTORE DEMOCRACY IN THIS
LAND!

Section371; and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has admitted

the Land”; and

American citizens of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinite
