Vermont State Representative and Progressive Party member David Zuckerman is not optimistic about the fate of Vermont impeachment bill either, citing Democratic Party leadership fear for their own chances in 2008
member of the Vermont House of Representatives from Burlington David Zuckerman
David Zuckerman is a Progressive Party member of the Vermont House of Representatives, representing that part of Burlington containing the University of Vermont (UVM). He led the April, 2006, effort in the Vermont House of Representatives to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush. He is now working in support of Independent Vermont State Representative Daryl Pillsbury's effort to introduce and pass a similar impeachment resolutionin this session of the Vermont House, starting this coming Thursday, February 15, 2007.
Progressive Representative Zuckerman spoke this afternoon from his home in Burlington with the Impeachment Channel about the up-coming effort to initiate the impeachment of George W. Bush from the Green Mountain state and about the forces in the Democratic Party which, even though it was put into power in Congress in Washington, D.C., in November, 2006, largely on the strength of voters' misgivings about the leadership of George Bush, seem to be more interested in furthering their own personal ambitions than doing what a majority of the people in the U.S. want in terms of opposing the man who lied the U.S. into the disastrous and now widely-regretted invasion of Iraq, a form of "meddling" in the affairs of another country now regarded as central to the growing isolation and condemnation of the U.S. worldwide.

what impeachment supporters can do to keep hope for impeachment alive in Vermont
In his own interview yesterday afternoon with the Impeachment Channel, Vermont Independent State Representative Daryl Pillsbury 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."
