Pennsylvania State Senator Jim Ferlo (38th state Senatorial District) has initiated a local impeachment campaign here in the city of Pittsburgh.
He has a petition calling for impeachment and a censure of the President and Vice President which will appear as a full-page ad in the Pittsburgh City Paper news weekly prior to the State of the Union Address. You can sign it online here (deadline for signing is January 21).
You can view the ad at pittsburghimpeachbush.org.
This action is unprecedented, and Pittsburgh may be the first US city to organize a campaign of this nature.
Senator Ferlo's action supports Congressman John Conyers resolutions 635 (H.Res.635 would create a select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, and retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.), 636, and 637 (H.Res.636 and H.Res.637 would censure, respectively, Bush and Cheney for failing to respond to requests for information concerning allegations that they and others in the Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq, misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for the war, countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of persons in Iraq, and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of the Administration, for failing to adequately account for certain misstatements they made regarding the war, and – in the case of President Bush – for failing to comply with Executive Order 12958.).

This effort is being done in conjunction with CensureBush.org
