From the wonderfully progressive dailykos.com:
Saturday afternoon during their annual State Convention at the Park Plaza in downtown Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin adopted the following resolution:
---
CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
WHEREAS, the Downing Street Memo shows that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld began planning and executing the war on Iraq before seeking Congressional and UN approval;
WHEREAS, UN weapons inspectors showed prior to the invasion that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and
WHEREAS, there is further mounting evidence that the Administration lied or misled about "mushroom clouds," "connections to 9/11," and "war as a last resort" as they sought UN, Congressional, and public approvals;
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, the DPW asks Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.
--
And, most importantly, they referenced the Downing Street memo (not "minutes", doh!) in the first bullet. So any media coverage would almost have to mention it. This was a smart move.
It is believed that Wisconsin is the first state Democratic Party to have passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. They hope that others will do the same.

And the Midwest shall lead us!
Here's hoping this wakes the country up. His approval ratings keep falling, which is the most inportant thing. I'd be happy if President Bush were just somehow compelled to answer the hard questions. Right now he's able to sidestep and avoid almost any serious discussion of his decisions, which is as harmful as anything he's done.
I'd be happy with a congressional invetigation, or even a hard-hitting newspaper investigation.

I continue to be amazed at the lack of mobilization by our Democratic leaders. What are they waiting for? They sat back and hoped Bush would self-destruct for two elections, don't waste this obvious windfall of information now.

I wonder what people are waiting for to 'mobilize.'
We were chatting this weekend about what it's gonna take for America do to something about it. More and more people are angry, but nothing's getting done. We were talking this weekend about the current situation, and one of my friends brought up the scary theory that it won't stop... the fear that what will happen next is that IF there is another terrorist attack on the US, Dubya will then declare martial law and stay on as president. I'm not THAT familiar with the ways of American government, but if that's even a possibility, then it is a VERY VERY scary time in the US.
