It was confirmed today that Cindy Sheehan has delivered more than the required 10,000 signatures to ensure her place on the ballot this November in California’s 8^th District as an Independent challenger to incumbent Democrat Nancy Pelosi. This is just the sixth time in California history that this has happened.

Sheehan has garnered nationwide support for her candidacy as people have come to realize that a successful challenge to Pelosi is the best chance for drastic policy change in Washington. Under Pelosi’s ineffectual leadership, Congress’ approval rating has free fallen to a historical low of just 9%. Sheehan has been an outspoken critic of Pelosi, citing her failure to end the Iraq war and advance articles of impeachment against George W. Bush as reason for her challenge.

Most recently, she was removed from the ‘non-impeachment’ hearings for standing up and calling it exactly what it was: A toothless sham.
