In recent weeks, Democracy for NYC took a poll on the issue of impeachment. Many recent news stories and activist efforts have pushed impeachment to the forefront in the progressive community, and we wanted to know your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

The poll asked whether respondents felt that Congress should start impeachment proceedings. Here are the results:

• "Yes" votes: 84% (All of these votes were in favor of starting impeachment proceedings against Bush, Cheney, or both. Approx. 1/4 were in favor of impeaching Cheney first, then Bush)
• "No" votes: 9%
• "Not sure" votes: 4%
• Votes in favor of impeaching only Alberto Gonzalez: Less than 2%
• "Not yet" votes: Less than 2%
• Other: Less than 1%

The DFNYC poll clearly demonstrates overwhelming support for Congress to start impeachment proceedings. We plan to include events and opportunites to get involved in impeachment efforts in upcoming DFNYC email newsletters and here at our website.
