Cynthia McKinney:
Introduced articles of impeachment at end of 2006 session
At the end of the 2006 legislative session, McKinney introduced articles of impeachment against President Bush, which makes three charges against Bush: manipulating intelligence and lying to justify the war in
Iraq, failing to uphold accountability and violating privacy laws with his domestic spying program. The second article also makes charges against Vice President
Cheney for helping to “fix” the intelligence in order to justify the Iraq War, and against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for making false statements concerning Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction program.
Because McKinney waited until the final day of voting before her term ended to introduce the resolution, the resolution was symbolic.

Laura Richardson:
City anti-war petition led to her support-troop resolution
In 2003, Richardson said she believed the inspectors should be allowed to continue her work, and that she did not favor an invasion at that time. She was asked by anti-war groups to support a Long Beach City Council resolution declaring the city's
opposition to the Iraq War. She did not support this resolution, but cosponsored a resolution declaring support for local members of the National Guard. She said she believed once hostilities began, it was important to support the troops.

Laura Richardson:
City anti-war petition led to her support-troop resolution
Her position on the Iraq War is that once Saddam Hussein was caught and executed, American troops should have come home. She supports a withdrawal plan beginning in six months, according to her mailers, which often contain pictures of President
George W. Bush with a slash mark through his image, indicating her opposition to Bush's policies. She recently pledged to oppose any new spending for war in Iraq if elected to Congress.
