If they arrest Cindy, here's an idea for those of you who
can't go to Crawford to partake in a mass protest all over U.S.
The moment they arrest Cindy Sheehan, we are going to our local police station and turn ourselves in, we are going to say, "If Cindy is a security threat for protecting her children and all of America's children, we as mothers are too because we stand behind Cindy in demanding an explanation as to why her child died and intend to do everything to protect our children as well".

Everyone can do this who has a child.

2. Looney bin... not But you're funny.
She is not any more of a criminal than I am, so if they arrest her then I guess I should be arrested.

16. Speaking of the "Loony Bin," Isn't that Where Our Country Is At
Under Hur'Bushivitz... need I say more.

Now wishing I had a child. I know, I'll hug a tree outside the local station, since Neo-Con's have now placed Environmentalists on FBI and/or Terrorist Lists, or is that the Patriot :patriot: Act, now wait it's Homeland Security. Better yet, I'll bring my cats. There must be a Frist-Anti-Cat law by now. :sarcasm:

See... we're already living in one big Looney Bin anyway!

I for one am very proud of Cindy! She's shaken my soul and given us all courage!

7. Is a legal defense fund being established?
She and the others might need it. Lawyers -- good, tough ones -- should be hired ASAP, if they haven't been already.

11. I don't have money
but I'd be willing to get arrested in support of Cindy. I think it's a great idea, especially of Moms across the country did the same!!!

15. Here's my post earlier
not a single response.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4287946&mesg_id=4287946

From Zorra in the "Plans to arrest Cindy Thread" Anyone for a coordinated mass nationwide general strike? n/t

Tahiti Nut replies: I am. Have been since December 2000.

A nation unwilling to have a nationwide general strike is a nation that doesn't deserve to call itself a democracy.



Keyboard activism, letter writing, petitioning, etc. will not work. Direct Action is the only effective means.

18. Julia Ward Howe (1870)
"Arise all women who have hearts, say firmly: Our sons shall not be taken
from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity,
mercy and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of
another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. In the
name of womanhood and of humanity; take counsel with each other as the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace..." ~ Julia Ward Howe*
(1870)

19. Well... I like this Julia Ward Howe stuff, but I'm not against a war that
is based on truths, and is not preemptive, and that does defend America, and that does not describe the one in which we currently find ourselves.
