Cindy Sheehan is considering a challenge to 14-year U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein of California. Sheehan says taking on Feinstein would "energize" the anti-war movement. She's right. Feinstein voted for the war and still supports it.
Feinstein and husband Dick Blum represent in the extreme what's wrong in Washington today. Prior to marrying Sen. Feinstein, Dick Blum had little to show for his other marriages and other business enterprises. But hooking up with Di-Fi made a big difference. All of s sudden a large amount of rich people wanted only Dickie to manage their money! His rumored income is app. $ 100,000,000 per year in fees. He's the guy who with Diane's help was trying to sell the Naval Base at Long Beach, Ca. to China. But the media got hold of the story and the negotiations were stopped immediately.
Feinstein and Blum in the last several years have acquired 3 homes- Wash. D.C. , Aspen, Colo. , & San Francisco, Ca.- costing over $ 31 million in total. Feinstein's senator salary amounts to only $ 140,000 per year. That amount doesn't cover the property taxes on the S.F. property. But that's where Dick's income comes in.
On the other hand, Cindy Sheehan speaks and acts from her heart. She speaks passionately and persuasively about the need to stop this criminal war in Iraq. Having lost a son in Iraq, she is the incarnation of the results of votes by the likes of the Diane Feinsteins in our government. Cindy should run. Her message will resonate with honest people.
