Impeachment call in Los Angeles
About three dozen members of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center brought their case to try to get the Los Angeles City Council on record in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney _ but failed to get the council to vote on the matter.
Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who said he favored seeking impeachment, was unable to get another council member to second his plan to have the council take a stand. Eighty-one other cities have endorsed impeachment, including San Francisco, West Hollywood and Culver City, the activists said.
"I do favor impeachment," Rosendahl said. "I have said from the start that this president and vice president brought us into this war based on lies."
At the same time, Rosendahl urged the activists to take their case to federal officials.
"They are the one who will decide this, not us," Rosendahl said.

Hi
I was part of the contingent (LANIC Los Angeles Nat Impeachment Center and PDLA - Progressive Dems of LA) that went to City Council today.
I counted 44 volunteers that showed up - we had approximately 30 "request to speak" cards to the city council.
Rosendahl @ around 1:45 today put a motion to hear Impeachment to the City Council. Hear it on the stream when I returned.
