Cindy Sheehan Quits as 'Face' of Anti-War Movement
Tuesday, May 29, 2007


Cindy Sheehan, the "peace mom" who made headlines in 2005 by staging a
marathon protest outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch, said
Monday that she no longer wants to be seen as a leader of the anti-war 
movement.

In a 1,245-word missive entitled "Goodbye Attention Whore" posted on the 
liberal DailyKos blog, Sheehan said her campaign to end the war in Iraq 
had strained her relationship with her children, cost her a marriage and 
left her nearly penniless.

"This is my resignation letter as the 'face' of the American anti-war 
movement," Sheehan wrote. "I am going to take whatever I have left and 
go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children 
and try to regain some of what I have lost."

Sheehan founded the Gold Star Families for Peace after her son, Casey 
Sheehan, a 24-year-old Army specialist, was killed in an April 2004 
battle in Baghdad. Sheehan was an outspoken critic of the Bush 
administration's policies and was often a target of criticism herself 
for visiting with leftist leaders like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

Sheehan, however, said she had become increasingly disillusioned with 
the Democratic Party. In an open letter to the Democratic members of 
Congress on Saturday, however, she announced that she was leaving the 
Party because she believed its leaders had failed to change the 
country's course in Iraq.

"I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my 
protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was 
slandered and libeled by the right as a 'tool' of the Democratic Party." 
Sheehan wrote. "However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to 
the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my 
cause started to erode and the 'left' started labeling me with the same 
slurs that the right used."
