Sheehan has announced that on March 13 (which I'm told is the anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq), she will found a new camp across the street from the White House, on the lawn of the Washington Monument. The camp will have two purposes: to protest the U.S. wars in Iraq and A-stan, and to serve as a community for those who have lost jobs and homes during what she terms "the Goldman Sachs Depression."

Sheehan's Delegation to Conyers: Initiate Impeachment Now
[The following was posted at 3:29 p.m. today on democraticunderground.com, live from the delegation led by Cindy Sheehan to Representative John Conyers to demand the impeachment of V.P. Dick Cheney. Conyers is one of the good guys who's been doing the kind of work I think we need done -- e.g., almost single-handedly investigating the irregularities in the 2004 elections. But he is chair of the Judiciary Committee in the House, out of which any impeachment initiative must issue, and he's been quoted as saying he would proceed only if three more Representatives added their support. Let me know if any of this was mentioned in your corporate evening news.]
I am sitting on the floor of a phone booth . . . . Lisa from C-ville is standing in front of it, hoping I will not be noticed.
I have never seen anything like this one, folks. . . .
There are HUNDREDS of people lining the hallway to John Conyers' office. Cindy and a few others are inside, speaking to the staff, we assume. But the scene is incredible -- people have come from all over the country to deliver the message that we cannot tolerate illegal actions and an unConstitutional government.
I will update this as I can . . .
But hello to all from the center of democracy! We are taking it BACK.
Oh -- and CALL!
Phone Chairman Conyers [see contact info at the end of this post] and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member [see contact info at the end of this post] and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.
UPDATE: They are NOT HEARING US CALL.
CALL PELOSI. CALL OTHERS. MAKE A RUCKUS because they are not listening and I'm told it's quiet there!!!
Cindy Sheehan just left John Conyers' office and announced that Rep. Conyers is NOT going to move on impeachment.
The crowd is very upset.
Rev. Yearwood announced that the government has failed the people and the people must act NOW. This needs to be spread everywhere.
PEOPLE MUST CALL.
The phone must NOT STOP RINGING. POST THIS EVERYWHERE!!!

Current TV Re-Broadcasting Cindy Sheehan Short
Al Gore's cable channel has asked to extend its rights to broadcast Grace at Camp Casey, my "pod" about Cindy Sheehan's protest outside President Bush's ranch in 2005; they did a nice page on it here; you can see the original version here.
(By now, that subtitle would prolly have to read, "has built.")
