Resolution To Censure Joseph I.

Lieberman
Presented to the Connecticut State Central Committee

Whereas Joseph I. Lieberman sought re-election in 2006 as an independent

after losing the Democratic primary; and

Whereas he has publicly endorsed and actively campaigned on behalf of

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, among others; and

Whereas he has attended and addressed the Republican National Convention

thereby undercutting the election campaigns of Democratic candidates all
across America; and

Whereas support of right-wing Republicans cannot be reconciled with the

ideals and values of the Democratic Party, nor with the best interests of the
people of America; and

Whereas these actions exhibit extraordinary disloyalty to the countless

Connecticut Democrats without whom his career as an elected official would
never have been possible;

Therefore, be it hereby resolved, that we, the undersigned members of the

Connecticut Democratic State Central Committee, delegates to the
Democratic National Convention from Connecticut, and Connecticut
Democratic public officials publicly censure and repudiate the words and
actions of Joseph I. Lieberman, and ask of him that he resign as a member of
the Democratic Party of the state of Connecticut.

To Censure Joseph I. Lieberman

Whereas Joseph I. Lieberman publicly endorsed and actively campaigned on

behalf of Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, among others;
and

Whereas he attended and addressed the Republican National Convention

Obama, attempting to undermine the election campaign of Barack Obama
and other Democratic candidates; and

Whereas his support of the Republican Presidential candidate John McCain

cannot be reconciled with the ideals and values of the Democratic Party; and

Whereas these actions directly contradict his express promises to support the
Democratic nominee for president and exhibit extraordinary disloyalty to the
countless Connecticut Democrats without whom his career as an elected
official would never have been possible.

Therefore, be it hereby resolved, that we, the members of the Danbury
