Cindy Sheehan May Challenge Calif. Senator
Peace Activist Considers Challenging Dianne Feinstein to Protest
Senator's War Stance
By IAN JAMES
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela - Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who set up camp
near President Bush's Texas ranch last summer, said Saturday she is
considering running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein to protest what she
called the California lawmaker's support for the war in Iraq.
"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She
won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops," Sheehan told The
Associated Press in an interview while attending the World Social Forum
in Venezuela along with thousands of other anti-war and
anti-globalization activists.
"I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of
George Bush and his war policies," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old
soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Feinstein's campaign manager, Kam Kuwata, said the senator "doesn't
support George Bush and his war policies."
"She has stated publicly on numerous occasions that she felt she was
misled by the administration at the time of the vote," Kuwata said by
phone from California.
But with troops committed, Feinstein believes immediate withdrawal is
not a responsible option, Kuwata said.
"Senator Feinstein's position is, let's work toward quickly turning
over the defense of Iraq to Iraqis so that we can bring the troops home
as soon as possible," he said.
Sheehan accused Feinstein of being out of touch with Californians on
the issue.
She said she would decide whether to run after talking with her three
other adult children. The Democratic primary will be held in June, and
candidates must submit their statements for the voter guide by Feb. 14.
Kuwata said Feinstein and Sheehan appear to have a fundamental
disagreement over whether troops should be pulled out right now.
"That's why they have elections, and if she decides to file (paperwork
to run), so be it," he said.
Sheehan said running in the Democratic primary would help make a
broader point.
"If I decided to run, I would have no illusions of winning, but it
would bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country," she
said.
Sheehan, 48, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., said she would head to
Washington on Sunday for protests against Bush's State of the Union
address on Tuesday, and then return to California to discuss her idea
of running against Feinstein with her son and two daughters.
"I can't see if they think it's going to help peace that they would be
opposed to me doing it," she said.

Oh my.....the kooks are fighting against each other....
Feinstein out of touch? Well yes but she keeps getting re-elected so
must have some part right, even if I'd never vote for her.
But my main point is talk about out of touch, Sheehan's son had
re-enlisted in the service. She is the one out of touch.
Has anyone ever got a peek at her finances? Funny how someone that
lost her job 3 years ago, because of Bush's economy, is able to travel
the world and pay no taxes?

How do you know she pays no taxes? Are you saying she is being funded
by someone else?

She has a legal right to raise as much money as she wants for her
campaign. I'm sure by now that you've heard of 527s. Obviously you
buddy ron hasn't.

Well, the Men Of Few Words department...
Ms Cindy with a 527? Give me a break. Who besides some of our
esteemed contributors to this group think she has any message at all.
She is a kook. Even the Democrats have been ignoring her. I am
curious if she will run against Feinstein since she didn't join the
Kennedy/Kerry "filibuster". Was it the shortest on record?

I'm surprised she's still alive considering how she called Mrs. Clinton
out on the carpet.
