Dan DeWalt

"Dan DeWalt, a citizen activist from Newfane, VT," a BuzzFlash reader writes, "spearheaded the movement in Vermont and New England for holding the Bush Administration accountable through impeachment."

And DeWalt lit a grassfire. His patriotic call for holding Bush and Cheney to be impeached was passed by 37 towns in Vermont on March 8.

"The founders wanted impeachment in the hands of the people," said DeWalt, who has lived in southern Vermont for 30 years. "They knew there might come a time when the executive branch, the Congress, and even the press, fail us. And that's the circumstance we find ourselves in today."

An article from a Vermont paper noted, "Whatever you might think of Vermont's impeachment drive, you've got to agree it makes more sense to impeach a president for making war, than making whoopee."

Yes, indeed, and for that, Dan DeWalt merits being named the winner of this week's BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.
