The city of
San Fernando City Council passed an impeachment resolution for President Bush
with a unanimous vote on August 20, 2007. San Fernando Valley became the 87th city or township in the nation to
pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush. The city of San Fernando became the second
city in Los Angeles County, West Hollywood being the first, to adopt an
impeachment resolution.
At the
Monday night San Fernando Valley City Council meeting eleven members of the
LANIC-SFV group presented to the City Council evidence of impeachable offenses
committed by President Bush. The Los Angeles National Impeachment Center – SFV
Chapter is actively working with the Studio City Council to pass an impeachment
resolution.
After the
Council had heard the impeachable offenses committed by President Bush,
Councilman Jose Hernandez, whom was the first elected officials to speak
quipped, "Why stop at Bush? We
should impeach Congress too." Mayor
Julie Ruelas piped up, "What about Cheney?" Councilman Steve Veres
said the Iraqi war hits home in San Fernando because the first casualty of the
war was a San Fernando High School graduate. Veres said the public comment was, "Right On."
The city of
San Fernando City Council plans on delivering the city’s impeachment resolution
to Congressman Brad Sherman. Congressman Sherman (Dem 27th District)
is a member of the House Judiciary Committee, the committee in Congress that
would investigate the impeachment charges. The City Council is hopeful that
Congressman Sherman will take the presentation of San Fernando City’s
impeachment resolution as an indicator of the drumbeat in his district for
impeachment proceedings to start in Congress.
The
impeachment resolution was introduced to San Fernando Valley officials by
Eugene Hernandez, a member of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center – SFV
Chapter (LANIC-SFV Chapter). Mr. Hernandez

group. On August 17th 45
