Sheehan recently said she was leaving the Democratic Party because it "caved" into the president. But it also drew counter protests of Bush supporters, many who said she was hurting troop morale. She became the face of the anti-war movement during her 26-day roadside vigil that drew thousands of demonstrators. Sheehan first came to Crawford in August 2005 during President Bush's vacation, demanding to talk to him about the war that claimed her son Casey's life in 2004. "I'm doing it to encourage other people to run against Congress members who aren't doing their jobs, who are beholden to special interests," Sheehan said. She was in Crawford over the weekend to ceremoniously give the keys of the 5-acre protest site near the Bush ranch to its new owner, California radio talk show host Bree Walker. Sheehan plans her official candidacy announcement Tuesday. But if not, Sheehan said she is ready to run for office. Sheehan said she hopes Pelosi files the articles of impeachment. The White House declined to comment Sunday.
