Submission + - Sheehan to Challenge Pelosi if no Impeachment (washingtonpost.com)
mdsolar writes: "Personable and determined Cindy Sheehan resigned from leadership in the anti-war movement in late May but is now active in an accountability movement which she says differs from her past activity. Speaker Pelosi has until July 23 to introduce Articles of Impeachment or she will face an indepenent run from Sheehan. Sheehan's son Casey was killed in the Iraq War which appears to be grinding to an end now. Sheehan set up camp outside the President's residence in Crawford, Texas asking to speak with him about Casey's death. With the President's continued refusal, a movement grew up around Camp Casey in Crawford which most recently has concentrated on the failure, so far, of democrats to carry out the mandate they won in Novermber of 2006. In Pelosi's district, a democrat got elected mayor by the skin of his teeth against a green opponent, so she may not have a safe seat. Articles of Impeachement have been introduced already for the VP with growing cosponsorship. Seems like Sheehan is telling Pelosi, either stop being Speaker by becoming President of stop being Speaker by losing your seat."
