Elizabeth Walter of Seattle was one of hundreds at a rally Thursday on the steps of the state Capitol in Olympia in support of impeaching President Bush.

OLYMPIA — Dozens of speakers told state lawmakers Thursday that the Washington Legislature needs to do what Congress won't — push for impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Witnesses at a state Senate committee hearing called Bush and Cheney war criminals, decried the "Bush junta" and warned of American dictatorships to come.

"The people have come here today to say to our state Legislature: 'You have the opportunity and you have the duty to do the right thing,' " Democratic activist Susan Harmon said.
