CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.
| Her exit from politics lasted how long? A month? |
Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush.
| I'd be tempted to send her 'independent' campaign a fin if it would guarantee a circus ... |
That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch. ``Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership,'' Sheehan told The Associated Press. ``We hired them to bring an end to the war. I'm not too far from San Francisco, so it wouldn't be too big of a move for me. I would give her a run for her money.''
| Not in an election, but certainly as a kook ... |
Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said the congresswoman has said repeatedly that her focus is on ending the war in Iraq. ``She believes that the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home safely and soon,'' Daly said in an e-mail to the AP. ``July will be a month of action in Congress to end the war, including a vote to redeploy our troops by next spring.''
[Sheehan] plans her official candidacy announcement Tuesday. |
