Cindy Sheehan [2] announced July 3 that she is asking people to join her in a 10-day walk from Atlanta to Washington DC, starting July 13 for a "people's accountability movement." On her blog [3], she said "the straw that broke my camel's back of exhausted ennui" was Bush's commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby [4]. "I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the U.S., what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter's sentence ... has dragged me kicking and screaming back in," she wrote. The march will began after Sheehan celebrates her 50th birthday at her former protest site in Crawford, TX, where she will turn over the deed of her 5-acre lot there to its new owner, radio talk-show host Bree Walker.
