Oh! The humanity!
My worst fears have been realized.
Cindy Sheehan threatened it, and now she has done it. Sheehan has announced her intent to run as an independent against Nancy Pelosi in California’s 8th legislative district in the next election.
At the end of this day, Speaker Pelosi has not supported impeachment and has not upheld her oath of office to “protect and defend” the Constitution. Like Congressman Conyers said almost a year ago, our Constitution is in crisis and we can’t wait for more meetings and more stalling from Reps who think the problem will go away in ‘08. The Middle East is rapidly falling apart under this regime and our country is sliding rapidly into a state of one-branch tyranny while our “heroes,” the Democrats, fiddle.
… It is also with a heavy heart that I announce my candidacy against Nancy Pelosi in California’s 8th. If anybody would dare think I am not serious, I would hope they would look back at the last 3 years of my life and everything I have sacrificed to restore our nation to one that obeys the rule of law and can be looked up to with respect once again in the international community and not as the hated laughingstock on the block.
I am committed to challenging a two-party system that has kept us in a state of constant warfare for the last 60 years and has become more and more beholden to special interests and has forgotten the faces of the people whom it represents.
I am committed to using our strength as a country to wage peace and to elevate the status of every citizen in our country by converting the enduring war economy to a prosperous one with lasting peace.
Someone needs to step up to the plate to do this and I challenge other Americans to do the same. Challenge the status quo, because the status quo is no good. We need to become plugged into our government once again as active participants not just passive voters.
Normally, this would be great blogging fodder. Normally, I would leap for joy at the sarcastic, smart-ass possibilities for me in this situation. I mean, with someone like Cindy, how can you miss?
Unfortunately, as an Active Duty soldier, I can no longer make fun of her. The rules say I can’t denigrate a member of Congress or even take sides in an election. If I’m publicly beating on a candidate, that could be construed as “taking sides” or advocating the other party or candidate.
Man, does this suck.
But hey, the rest of you can say any damned thing you want — you lucky bastards! Have fun!
