1. Ya know....
Cindy's courageous actions can stand on their own.

Comparing her with Rosa Parks is apples and oranges and only serves to distract from the main message of an American Mother of an American Soldier who wants Answers from the Man who sEnt her Son to Die.

6. I understand...
...and I am aware of the post that likely prompted this.

I think the OP was giving tactical advice and was not trying to slam Cindy.

3. I don't have a problem with the comparison although I know what
Rosa Parks did took a Hell of a lot more courage because on that bus she didn't have a clue that ANYBODY would stand by her side and Cindy knows and acknowledges the help she has. Ms. Parks ver life was seriously in danger on that day, but the comparison is that it just takes one person to get the ball rolling.

4. speaking from the heart
trying to reach the hearts of others, to break thru numbness & paralysis, by speaking from the heart rather than an overintellectualized disembodied head.

Ill never forget what activist helen caldicott said yrs ago, its entirely appropriate to be emotional when faced with such devastation. It's the absence of emotion which is suspect... actually a mental illness known as sociopathy.
