I thought I'd offer this diary as an update to the Illinois House's attempt to instigate impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush from the state-level.
Kargo X first floated the idea and it was picked up by many Kossacks including several Vermont bloggers. Four other state-level Democratic organizations (Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and North Carolina) have also called for impeachment. (California has now also had a resolution introduced to the legislature as well which includes impeachment calls against Dick Cheney.) Carl Nyberg took up the torch in Illinois and contacted his State Representitive, Karen Yarbrough. Rep. Yarbrough introduced the resolution last Friday (the 21st). As of this writing the bill has 17 co-sponsors. (Illinois has 118 State Representitives and 65 Democratic State Reps.) That means over a quarter of Illinois' Democratic State Reps have signed on as co-sponsors in the four working days since it was introduced.
The full list of Illinois State Representitives co-sponsoring the bill includes:
Karen Yarbrough
Sarah Fiegenholtz - Campaign Website
Eddie Washington - Campaign Website
Cynthia Soto
William Delgado
William Davis
Kenneth Dunkin
Wyvetter H. Younge
Arthur Turner
Esther Golar
Constance Howard
David Miller
Annazette Collins
Calvin Giles
