Part of Thomas Jefferson's legacy was his " Manual of Rules of the United States House of Representatives". It includes this provision in Section 603, " allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolutions of a state legislature."
Well Karen Yarbrough of the Illinois Assembly introduced such a bill of impeachment on April, 20. Yesterday Paul Koretz, assemblyman of Los Angeles, California introduced a similar bill in the California Assembly. According to Jefferson's rules it would only take one such resolution for the House to be compelled to take it up in front of all other pending legislation. Vermont and 4 other states are also in different stages of similar resolutions.
It's about time. The lobbyists and Congress have already won the game of locking up America's political destiny with little regard for the real world in America. They have become roguish , non-relevant and very expensive. This type of quasi-national referendum/parliamentary no- confidence vote is an approprite end run.
Equally forboding for Bush and his hate-mongering stooges is a recent poll taken in the heavily Christian Conservative state of Alabama. The Capital Survey Research Center on April 19, published a negative view of Bush's performance across all categories. If Bush draws bad reviews in Alabama, he's toast across the country.
