Cindy Sheehan, D-CA?

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.

If she thought being a spokesperson was tough...

Sheehan announced in late May that she was leaving the anti-war movement. 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 said she wanted to change course. [...]

"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."

I'm a big admirer of hers, but this doesn't make a lot of sense to me, even if she's doing it to draw additional attention to her cause. While she was an important voice at a time when nobody else had the courage to speak out and take action, I believe that things have evolved to the point where she is now one of many voices. I support her activism and wish more were as outspoken, but this would be a whole new ballgame.
