Cotati may call for Bush's impeachment
By Paul Payne / Santa Rosa Press Democrat
COTATI, CA — Cotati’s politically liberal City Council on Wednesday is expected to pass a resolution calling for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Cotati would be the third Sonoma County city to approve such a measure, following Sebastopol two years ago and Santa Rosa in December. Petaluma and Rohnert Park have rejected similar initiatives.
The impeachment resolution, which is largely symbolic, would be entered into the Congressional Record and sent to the House Judiciary Committee, according to a Web site run by the Progressive Democrats of Sonoma County.
Ninety cities have passed impeachment resolutions, according to the site.
Cotati council members agreed 4-1 in June to place the item on the agenda for consideration.
Councilwoman Patty Minnis was the dissenting voice, saying Congressional leaders have already ruled out the possibility of impeachment before Bush leaves office in five months.
