From Ulster County, New York:

"In symbolic vote, Ulster lawmakers calls for Bush, Cheney to be impeached

KINGSTON - An Ulster County committee on Tuesday endorsed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, but the Democratic members voting in favor said they won't pressure local congressional representatives to take action.

Members of the county Legislature's Efficiency, Reform and Intergovernmental Affairs Committees said the Bush administration has created an atmosphere of fear of the government.

"The President proposed and the Congress passed his military containment act of 2006, which allowed the President to declare anybody to be a illegal combatant, at which point they could be imprisoned without presenting any evidence, without habeas corpus and did not need to be brought to trial until the end of hostilities...which is endless," said Legislator Peter Liepmann, D-New Paltz. "That essentially means that any American citizen could be imprisoned indefinitely without bringing charges, without presenting any evidence, and ... this is a step on the path not to merely controlling the government but to fascism."

The resolution says Bush and Cheney appear to have "violated laws of the United States by numerous acts, including misleading Congress and the public by alleging threats from the nation of Iraq to justify war, the countenance of torture of prisoners, the surveillance of American citizens beyond the reach of judicial review, and arbitrarily subjecting citizens to indefinite detention without charge and denying them their constitutional rights to counsel and judicial relief."

The resolution, if approved by the full county Legislature next month, will be sent to U.S. Reps. Maurice Hinchey, D-Hurley; Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Greenport; and John Hall, D-Dover Plains.

The committee vote was 5-1 with Charles Busick, R-Highland, opposed. ..."
