Republican Governor Jim Douglas presided over an impeachment resolution in Middlebury that not only laid out the charges against Mr Bush, but spoke eloquently about the need to honor the constitution. Gov. Douglas tried to prevent a vote on the resolution, but was denied by the citizens,... (more) who passed the measure overwhelmingly. Impeachment resolutions were also passed in Speaker Gaye Symington's town of Jericho, and Rep. Peter Welch's town of Windsor. Several towns saw impeachment votes blocked by moderators' Roberts rules maneuvers, despite the objections of the citizens in attendance. The call for impeachment comes from all corners of the state. Grass roots groups are organizing independent actions designed to get the state legislature to act on an impeachment that is currently stuck in the House judiciary committee. The towns, as of 11:15, March 5 are: Bristol, Middlebury, Richmond, Newfane, Guilford,Vershire, Rochester, Westminster, Hartland, Newbury, Dummerston, Johnson, Calais, Grafton, Jericho, East Montpelier, Woodbury, Roxbury, Plainfield, Peru, Jamaica, Wilmington, Craftsbury, Greensboro, Marlboro, Townshend, Morristown, Montgomery, Putney, Tunbridge, Springfield, Sunderland, St. Johnsbury(town meeting survey 71-27), Stannard, Burke Dan Dewalt, S.
