Anti War activist and Mom for peace Cindy Sheehan issued a statement
saying she plans to run against House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless Pelosi introduces articles of impeachment against
President George W. Bush in the next two weeks. Sheehan told The
Associated Press yesterday that she will run in 2008 against the Pelosi, a
democrat from the San Francisco area.
Sheehan
states she plans to run as an Independent if Pelosi does not seek to impeach
Bush by July 23. Sheehan and many of her supporters will be arriving in
Washington, DC, on July 23rd
after a 13-day caravan and walking tour to Washington DC that begins near
President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch. Sheehan announced in
May that she was leaving the anti-war movement and selling her five-acre
Crawford lot located near the Bush Ranch. Sheehan was disillusioned with the
current Democratic leadership after what she felt were smear tactics and hatred
from the both the political right and the political left.
