The “Impeach Bush Resolution Campaign” delivered 1357 signatures to the party signed by more than 30% of the delegates to the 2006 Texas Democratic Party state convention in Fort Worth. The resolution called on the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors and for willfully violating his Oath of Office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. The resolution failed in a close vote on the floor of the convention.
Hooman Hedayati, 19 and a student at The University of Texas at Austin, took the video and edited it into its current form. He spent about 20 hours collecting signatures at the convention, along with several other people.
As delegation chair in Denton County's SD9, I want to congratulate Boyd Richie on his victory. I also want to congratulate all the delegates on their hard work for all of the campaigns over the last 2 1/2 days.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about you and about what collectively makes each of us say, “I’m a Democrat.” For my entire life I’ve lived each day “being a Democrat.”
A 20-year-old University of Texas Democrat recently said, “Glen, you’ve done a lot of amazing stuff. How did you do it all?” As I thought about that question, posed mostly as a compliment, I realized that almost everything I’ve ever done that was truly important happened when I stepped beyond my comfort zone. It happened when I took a risk. It occurred when I least could imagine that I would succeed in doing it.
