The good people in Brattleboro, Vermont had an extra reason to go to the polls today; they were asked to vote for arresting Bush and Cheney for crimes against the constitution, in case they ever decide to enter the town. If they get impeached, the measure is voided. Read the full article here:

Of course it won’t have any legal consequences; but that’s not the point. The point is that voting is more than merely placing an X next to your favorite’s name; it means having an opinion, whether that opinion is wrong or right, popular or unpopular. I think this is a nice example of being extra involved, while still keeping a sense of humor.
Kudos to Brattleboro.
