Posted May 16, 2007 | 08:43 PM (EST)


Peter Welch spoke on the floor of the U.S. House today explaining to the Congress why Vermonters in ever greater numbers are calling for impeachment. While it is good for members of Congress and for those who watch C-SPAN to hear about our sentiments, a speech is a miserable substitute...
