Newsday reports that the article, after the four hour annual town meeting, approved 121-29 in balloting by paper, calls on Vermont’s lone member of the House Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against the president, alleging that Bush misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying. The Vermont town of 1,600 dedicated a half hour of the four hour annual town meeting to the referendum.
