Fairfax officials will vote Wednesday on whether to endorse a local petition calling for the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Millie Barrett, a 33-year town resident, said she has collected more than 200 signatures since Thursday. Getting the council involved gives the petition legitimacy and makes it more likely to be considered by federal officials, she said.
"I want people to jump on the wagon and do it," she said. "Maybe someone in Congress will listen."
Barrett, 62, said she dove into progressive politics after retiring last July. She said she has signed every anti-Bush petition online, marched in peace rallies and even traveled to Washington, D.C., in September to protest alongside Cindy Sheehan.
"I've never been more upset with the country," she said. "I felt I needed to do more."
Barrett downloaded an impeachment petition that 23 other cities across the nation have adopted and began collecting signatures downtown.
"Most people can't sign it fast enough," she said.
Mayor Susan Brandborg said she is normally against the council discussing federal issues over which it has little sway, but she put the petition on Wednesday's agenda because she strongly believes in impeaching Bush. Brandborg expects a good turnout for the issue because so many people turned out three years ago when the council voted to ignore several provisions of the Patriot Act.
"I would like to see it go to our representatives," Brandborg said. "Woolsey, Boxer, Feinstein, the usual suspects."
Barrett said she isn't worried about the government spying on her by leading the impeachment drive, although a few supporters have declined to sign because of it.
"If they do (spy on me), they're probably already doing it," she said.

I think she retired from the Chicken Ranch outside Las Vegas. She may have taught public school before that.
she doesn't deserve to be an american citizen - maybe france will take her?
barrett probably hates the troops too, let her fight for her own freedom.
Good luck, honey, but I think you'll find they won't listen to anyone from SanFranNan's favorite hometown looney bin. They're not that stupid.
Marin County? Isn't that where "Stretch" Pelosi is from?
No, it's where Lynn Woolsey, the defender of teenage rapists and the person who allowed Mama Moonbat her guest pass at the last State of the Union address, is representative.
The east side of Madison Wisconsin, that's where.
That old bat needs more fiber in her diet.
California libs don't like Bush and want him impeached? Will wonders never cease. I would be more amazed if they didn't want him impeached.
