Cindy Sheehan is amazing
Wow.:wow:

Up until literally the last couple of days, I must confess not knowing who Cindy Sheehan was. Now I know. She's one of us. Thanks to the MSM deigning to cover her camp out outside Camp Crawford, I became aware of her story and her message. I did a little Googling just now and found one of her articles posted at LewRockwell.com (I think that's it), and this woman absolutely rocks. I read the piece she wrote called "Still Not Worth It" (definitely worth a read, if you haven't had a chance) and it was one of those times while engrossed in reading something really good, you find your 'inner voice' just shouting out in complete unanimity with all that was being said. She's got this piece of shit who inhabits the White House down cold. Cold. I love it. I can't wait to see how this camp out of hers pans out.

:bounce:

1. She's got more guts than that little chicken who won't come out
to talk to her.

2. I just went to CNN.com, and watched their coverage.
She sure made Wolf Blitzer look like a big hiney.

3. The media hid her last year before the elections
They KNEW she had power and so they burried us in swiftie lies instead.

4. An open letter to George Bush
from Casey's Peace Page...


AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE BUSH

November 4, 2004

Dear George,

You don’t mind if I call you George do you? When you sent me a letter offering your condolences on the death of my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq, you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis.

George, it has been seven months today since your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, my big boy, my hero, my best-friend: Casey. It has been seven months since your ignorant and arrogant lack of planning for the peace murdered my oldest child. It has been two days since your dishonest campaign stole another election…but you all were way more subtle this time than in 2000, weren’t you? You hardly had to get the Supreme Court of the United States involved at all this week.

You feel so proud of yourself for betraying the country again, don’t you? You think you are very clever because you pulled the wool over the eyes of some of the people again. You think that you have some mandate from God…that you can “spend your political capital” any way that you want. George you don’t care or even realize that 56,000,000 plus citizens of this country voted against you and your agenda. Still, you are going to continue your ruthless work of being a divider and not a uniter. George, in 2000 when you stole that election and the Democrats gave up, I gave up too. I had the most ironic thought of my life then: "Oh well, how much damage can he do in four years?" Well, now I know how much you have damaged my family, this country, and this world. If you think I am going to allow you another four years to do even more damage, then you truly are mistaken. I will fight for a true vote count and if that fails, your impeachment. Also, the impeachment of your Vice President. The only thing is, I'm not politically savvy, and I don't have a Karl Rove to plan my strategy, but I do have a big mouth and a righteous cause, which still mean something in this country, I hope.

6. That's powerful stuff. Cindy's letter shows us the way.
She is dedicated to having the coward impeached, so those of us who want to know how to help her haveour marching orders.

We must impeach this horrible man. Step one is taking back the congress next year.

8. After all, she is just as worthy a human being as "George",...
,...and his neoCON/corporacultist gang,...RIGHT?!?!?!

After all, she and her son sacrificed a helluva' lot more than those bastards who are profiteering and power-mongering off their exploitations,...RIGHT!?!?!?!

Her cause is CLEARLY more righteous than that of the BushCO/neoCON regime who have betrayed democracy, betrayed our Constitution, betrayed our representatives, betrayed our people and exploited the lives of our soldiers.

Yup! Cindy and her fallen soldier are MORE worthy and righteous than those who amorally exploit our nation's resources and her people!!!

7. I consider her an example of "grace".
She is fully living her purpose (making her son's life and every soldier's life meaningful in spite of those bastards who exploited them) with courage and passion.

Yep. I love her. She is an example of our true greatness. She is a hero.

10. Check in tomorrow at www.crawfordpeacehouse.org
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 07:26 PM by anarchy1999
A PayPal account is being set up an supposed to be operational then.

I spoke with Hadi late last evening and he said that would be the most helpful. He'd just returned from Crawford and a very long day.

She is getting support, I promise you all.
