About Us

Chico Impeach! is a local impeachment action campaign and coalition. We want the Chico City Council to pass a resolution in support of impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney and President George Bush in 2008. (or early 2009)

How is it that an impeachment resolution can begin at the local level? The Jefferson Manual describes the various methods of setting impeachment in motion. One is by charges transmitted from a state legislature to the Congress. This has been done by the state of Vermont. Cities, too, can petition Congress, as have nearly 100 cities, towns, municipalities and counties across the nation to date. In California, this includes Arcata, Berkeley, San Fernando, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, West Hollywood and Willits. Please help us add Chico to this list.

Over one million citizens have signed an online petition in support of impeachment. And millions of Americans are concerned about the abuses of power by the executive branch and are working to get Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.

Please sign our petition, online, or at various locations around Chico, including the Saturday morning Farmer's Market, the Thursday night Farmer's Market, and various other locations. You can also add your name to our Contact Sheet to get additional information and show up at the City Council meeting in support. We encourage you to take a blank petition sheet to help gather signatures from friends and family and other people you meet on the street.
