Cindy Sheehan - Gold Star Mother, Founder of the Gold Star Families For Peace and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize candidate, is running for Congress in the 8th Congressional District.
Her announcement to the press:
Two years ago this week, I started my first vigil in Crawford, Tx, at what became Camp Casey I protested near George’s vacation ranch. I never thought that my path would lead me here today. Nothing before Casey was killed in the illegal and immoral war in Iraq prepare me for this new direction, but looking back on my life since April 04. 2004, I believe this is the next natural step to bringing the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan to a swifter conclusion and those responsible accountable for the mess our world is in.
