Sheehan considers challenge to Pelosi

By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago

CRAWFORD, Texas - Six weeks after announcing her departure from the peace
movement, Cindy Sheehan 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.

Sheehan announced in May that she was leaving the anti-war movement and
selling her 5-acre Crawford lot.
She said that she felt her efforts had been in vain and that she had endured
smear tactics and hatred from the left, as well as the right.

She plans to make her official announcement Tuesday after what is expected
to be her final weekend at the Crawford lot, which she sold to California
radio talk show host Bree Walker.

Sheehan first came to Crawford in August 2005 during a Bush vacation,
demanding to talk to him about the war that killed her son Casey in 2004.

She became the face of the anti-war movement during her 26-day roadside
vigil, which was joined by thousands. But it also drew counterprotests of
Bush supporters, many who said she was hurting troop morale.

Sheehan, who has never held political office, recently said that she was
leaving the Democratic Party because it "caved" in to the president. Last
week, she announced her caravan to Washington, D.C., which she calls the
"people's accountability movement."

"I didn't expect to be back so soon, but the focus is different than it was
before," Sheehan said Sunday.
"Instead of talking and making accusations, we're going into communities and
talking to the people who've been hurt by the Bush regime. We're finding out
how we can help people."

Sheehan said she lives in a suburb of Sacramento but declined to disclose
the city, citing safety reasons.
