Philly WCW Collects Resident Signatures Urging City Council Resolution to Impeach/Indict Bush + Cheney

World Can't Wait-Philadelphia has started a campaign to collect signatures on a petition asking for a City Council resolution urging for the impeachment or indictment of Bush and Cheney.

Following the example of other big cities like Detroit and San Francisco, World Can't Wait - Philadelphia organizers undertook a similar project in Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania as well as the sixth largest in the nation.

As such, organizers think that Congress would not be able to ignore such a resolution.

Local activists collected signatures on the street at Obama campaign rallies and events. Philadelphia residents (only Philly residents, please!) may also sign the petition at www.petitiononline.com/215crime . The petition will be presented to Philadelphia's council members.

Much of the petition's text was modeled after text from the AfterDowningStreet.org's impeachment resource center.

Philadelphians who would like to help with signature gathering for the petition in the City of Brotherly Love may contact philly@worldcantwait.org to get started.
