Iraq war issues to be on ballots
Advisory referendums asking whether Champaign-Urbana residents support rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will appear on the Nov. 7 ballot.
Dozens of residents, many of them members of the anti-war group AWARE, packed the annual town meetings Tuesday night in Cunningham and City of Champaign townships. They had the votes to put both measures on the ballot in the townships, which are coterminous with Urbana and Champaign.
