If Cindy is arrested on Thursday, do we just keep showing up
throughout the month of August? I'm thinking
YES!

20. Me too.
I wish I were better off to make a trip. I don't know how I'd handle the kids and all, but I'm sure I could figure it out if I were in better health.

28. I can't go for health reasons, either, but I contributed to the cause.
I'm still not certain what can be accomplished by this, but I do support Cindy Sheehan and her point of view. I feel for the loss of her child and for every other soldier or civilian that has been killed. I just want the war to end.

2. Yes
Bushco has had it easy for too long. All these brain-washed rethuglicans letting them do whatever they want and just 'pray' for them. Screw that...it's time to get in their face.

not going to shut us up by removing Cindy from our midst. If anything, it will inspire us to do even more. They really can't win here.

5. I'd say for sure, still show up!!
There's a high school football field there that isn't being used... and from what I understand there is a permit now. They can't arrest you all.

9. YES! YES! YES!
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 08:02 PM by DistressedAmerican
At this point nothing stops me from going. The Peace House will still be there! And so will that damn ranch!

Seriously though, yes. This will be an ongoing effort if the chimp does not come up to see his shadow. I saw her being interviewed and saying if she is arrested, she goes right back to the same spot immediately following her release (if Bush is still in town).

They will need us more than ever if she is arrested. We will be there to support a political prisoner. I will stand in her spot until they haul me the fuck off!

Come on PVD! Come with us!

16. I seriously doubt
If he's even there any more. I mean if I were in his shoes I'd be kicking rove in the but for getting me in this mess than heading out to some desolate island to get away from it all to think it over.I mean really how far can one be led.

14. If they attempt any arrests, there is more reason to keep coming.
George is not a king. He needs to know this.

27. We haven't begun to realize the power of all of us focusing on
the same goal. Retake our Country from the TICS. (thugs in control).
How are they going to subdue a million angry, informed and intelligent "army ants" ?

21. "I'm Cindy!"
when they come to arrest her, everyone should stand up and say "I'm Cindy!" like in Spartacus. Make them arrest everyone. How can they keep people away, if enough keep coming? As long as there are witnesses, and people remain non-violent ... we can hope.

I say everyone who can go, GO!

22. Fall is coming soon, is there space around the Crawford Peace House
for camping out? We have nice fall and winter weather here in Texas, great camping weather.

The Crawford Peace House is private property.

It'll show exactly how horrible this whole scene really is. Plus it's a spontanious uprising regardless of ideology.

It can only hurt THEM, not US.

26. How about an unending stream of hundreds of American s
per day. They would relieve others who have been there for days. And if some are arrested on the road they are now occupying, move the protest center to another nearby location. There are at least 40 million Americans who are angry enough be willing to spend a few days in Crawford if they felt it had some chance accomplishing something. 40 million is a large number, has lots of power, money and stamina. If the protest were to become semi-permanent or until Bush is kicked out, it could well turn into the most significant protest demonstration in history.

I am talking about a fluid, constantly changing crowd of 300,000 people participating in a law abiding vigil. I talking about Americans evolving from a vast herd of sheeple to a quiet stampede of informed, angry and determined warriors of freedom, real freedom, not the political, farcical. and meaningless freedom described by
the man who current claims to be the President.
