Barbara Boxer: "Impeachment should be on the table" - Ed Schultz Show
7/11/07

She was the only Senator who cared to examine the credibility of the
election results in Ohio. She is the only Senator willing to stand with 54
percent of Americans for the rule of law now. What would we do without
Barbara Boxer?

Please call her at 202-224-3553 and thank her, and ask her to please speak
with Nancy Pelosi.

Email Sen. Boxer here.

Pelosi is a lost cause

and I hope a REAL Democrat runs against her next year. Most people I know (I
live in her district) are vowing to vote for someone else next year. Pelosi
loves the Bush crime family more than she believes in protecting and
defending our constitution. Any House member that does not support
impeachment should be replaced in 2008.

Sheehan v Pelosi
Submitted by melfeasance on Thu, 2007-07-12 01:54.
Here's someone stepping up to the plate. Read what Cindy Sheehan has in
store for Pelosi, comment from The Nation. And further comment from
DailyKos.

When Cindy Sheehan arrives in Washington July 23, she will issue the
ultimate challenge to Pelosi.

If the Speaker has not put impeachment back on the table, Sheehan promises
to announce that she will mount an independent campaign against Pelosi in
November, 2008.

"Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership," says
Sheehan, who is furious with Pelosi and her caucus for not doing more to end
the war and hold Bush to account.

That betrayal is felt particularly in Pelosi's San Francisco district,
where voters have overwhelmingly endorsed referendums calling for an end to
the war and for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Now, members of Code
Pink--Women for Peace and other groups are camping out in front of Pelosi's
home to protest her failure to represent their views and values.

Sheehan, a Californian, sums up homestate sentiments regarding Pelosi when
the activist says: "She let the people down who worked hard to put Democrats
back in power, who we thought were our hope for change."

The depth of the frustration in San Francisco with the Speaker's
leadership -- or the lack thereof -- is what makes Sheehan suggest that, "I
would give (Pelosi) a run for her money."

Certainly, Sheehan's notoriety would make the race a more serious one than
the easy runs Pelosi has enjoyed since she won her House seat in a 1987
special election.

Could a Sheehan challenge actually upset Pelosi? That's a long shot -- and
Sheehan, who is far more savvy about politics than her critics recognize,
knows this.

But she also knows that politicians are most likely to respond to
political pressure. So Cindy Sheehan is turning up the heat on Pelosi with a
political threat that George Bush -- after his long and bitter experience of
tangling with the "Peace Mom" -- would undoubtedly advise the Speaker to
treat
