member of the Vermont House of Representatives from Brattleboro Daryl Pillsbury

Daryl Pillsbury is an Independent member of the Vermont House of Representatives, representing part of Brattleboro, in Windham Country. He is leading an effort in that body to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush, but he is not optimistic that it will go much further than the Judiciary Committee, so, in an interview this afternoon with the Impeachment Channel, he urged everyone who supports impeaching George Bush to immediately contact two key players in this legislative drama: Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives Gaye Symington, the "Nancy Pelosi of the Vermont" and wife of a former top executive at Ben & Jerry's, and William J. "Bill" Lippert, Chair of the Judiciary Committee of the Vermont House of Representatives, a long-time champion of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people, and a central figure in the "the work of drafting and passing into law the landmark Vermont Civil Union law which granted legal recognition to same gender couples."
