Cindy Sheehan
Cindy’s Back!

After an incredibly short retirement from the public eye, Peace Mother Sheehan is back in the news. It seems like just six weeks ago she said she was going to take herself out of the public forum and ‘try to be normal’. She said at the time that she wanted to pay more attention to her three living children. In fact, it WAS just six weeks ago.

Now the Associated Press is reporting that the face of the anti-war movement is taking on her former friend, Nancy Pelosi.

(CRAWFORD) Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.

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. 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.”

Messages left with Pelosi’s staff were not immediately returned.

She plans her official candidacy announcement Tuesday. Sunday wrapped up what is expected to be her final weekend at the 5-acre Crawford lot that she sold to California radio talk show host Bree Walker, who plans to keep it open to protesters.
