From the Boston Globe...

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will visit Vermont this month to support local efforts calling for the impeachment of President George Bush.

Sheehan is expected to speak July 30 at rallies in Brattleboro and Montpelier.

Newfane selectman Dan DeWalt, who drafted the impeachment resolution in his town, said Sheehan's visit will be a "call to arms" for the impeachment movement.

"We've sat on the sidelines too long and now it is time to act," DeWalt said.

Seven Vermont towns have passed resolutions this year calling for Bush's removal from office or for an investigation into whether Bush misled the country into going to war.
