Impeach: 35 Vermont Towns Vote for Impeachment!

What does backbone look like?

It looks like the voters of 29 Vermont towns. The people who stood around collecting signatures to get resolutions on the "warning" or "warrant" for Town Meeting (the warning is the list of items on which the voters will vote in a given town)when we gather on town meeting day.

[Update] New count: up from 29 towns to 35 towns!

This is huge, because as of Saturday, there were only 25 towns with resolutions in the Warrant. That means that in at least 10 towns, people stood up at the end of the day to ask for this resolution to be discussed. More on the flip...

Even more amazing, several of the towns didn't even have it on the warning - they had to stand up in front of the rest of the voters in their town, after a long, long day of discussing, then voting on issue after issue and candidate after candidate.  After all those hours, people stood up and proposed a vote on a resolution for something as "controversial" as tossing the bums out of office in a way that can only be done in the US.

Imagine, you've been sitting in town hall for 8 - 9 hours, as the discussion drags on and on. People have voted on the final item. They're tired. All they want to do is go home. Then you stand up, and people start to groan. You state your piece anyway ... and you make a difference!

The voters in the following towns had the backbone to not only bring the issue of impeachment to the floor, but they voted in favor of calling for investigations into the actions of the President (and Vice President in some towns) to determine whether there is evidence of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and if so, to begin impeachment proceedings:

Newfane

If this administration is finally held accountable for the devastation they have brought to so many ... if they are finally held accountable for the damage they have done to our country, our constitution, and our world, we will, in part, have the people of the towns above to thank.
