MANCHESTER, N.H.—The New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention saw State Rep. Betty Hall’s “Petition to Commence Impeachment Procedure in the U.S. Congress” adopted, despite numerous roadblocks thrown in her path by party leaders.

As AFP revealed previously, Rep. Hall is the 87- year-old Brookline, N.H. woman who, having served in the state House for 28 years, is determined to uphold the rule of law and constitutional checks and balances by getting the 400-plusmember New Hampshire House to pass House Resolution 24, which calls on the Democrat-controlled U.S. Congress to begin the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for getting the U.S. into the Iraq war/occupation under false pretenses. The administration’s use of torture and snooping on the public, also are cited.

Well I'LL BE...

I've got to hand it to 87 year old congress woman Betty Hall, she is one PERSISTENT gal!

Could this be the first sign of some possible justice being brought forth?

Of the 800 people there at the start, about 650 were delegates elected locally to attend this event. The rest were elected officials, party officials and guests. Even though a number of people left as the day progressed, Rep. Hall and delegates in support of impeachment stayed the course to make sure her petition/resolution was heard. When her item was finally brought forth, it passed 110-88 in a precise county-by-county standing vote.

Deborah Gibson, a friend of Rep. Hall’s who helped AFP navigate the state’s political scene during a recent news assignment there, was elated. She told AFP that this represents the first major victory over the Democratic political machine in New Hampshire.

“This is the first time the tables have been turned against those in the party who think they just rule,” Ms. Gibson said. “They tried every trick to hold Betty down.”

Glad to see this littler old lady still have enough on her to bring down the mighty Bush and its group of cronies.

At least she is trying but as we have seen the rest of congress are nothing but kissing up to Bush and big corporate America.

its too late, the politicians have already sold us out.

By the time impeachment gets brought up before congress Bush will be out of office anyway. But its not part of their plan, else it would have been done already.

It is at least good to see some of these 'representatives'... anywhere... actually willing and realizing the need to put the 'will of the people' to the test, against TPTB.

I've written my reps. numerous times about impeachment... surely all just cast aside.

Booting hiim out is better than letting him walk out, even if it's late.

Not a word on MSM. Not one friggin word. What the hell is this? Fascist corporate media crap. The NH House passes something this important and not one damned word. Complicit. 100%
