(Former) Iraq war activist, Cindy Sheehan began a nearly two-week trek toward Washington D.C. on Tuesday with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sheehan officially announced her run against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn’t move to impeach Bush by July 23.
From the AP:
Sheehan first told The Associated Press on Sunday about her plans to challenge the top-ranking Democrat. She made it official Tuesday at Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old who was slain in Iraq and whose death first led Sheehan to Crawford in 2005 to demand a meeting with Bush.
In response to Sheehan’s plans to run, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Sunday that “July will be a month of action in Congress to end the war, including a vote to redeploy our troops by next spring.”
