<Georgia Moms Protest at Bush's Ranch --
It is traveling day for Evelyn Allen and Patricia Roberts, two
mothers who lost their sons to the war in Iraq.

"We just don't know the truth behind the war," Allen told 11Alive's
Jerry Carnes "We're at a standstill. Why is it going on? We want to
know why."

Allen is the mother of Jonathan Shields who was 25 when he died in
Iraq. Patricia Roberts is the mother of Jamaal Addison, who was
killed at the age of 23. The mothers boarded a plane at Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, bound for Crawford, Texas. They've joined
in a protest there in front of President Bush's Texas ranch,
demanding that president Bush end the war.

"I've never heard from the President," said Roberts. "He's never sent
his condolences and never acknowledged my son personally, and that's
what I ask of him."

Civil rights leaders, including Rev. Joseph Lowery and John Evans,
also made the trip.

"This trip isn't about who Bush is," said Rev. Lowery. "It's about
who we the people are, and we are the people who call for an end to
the slaughter."

In the same airport, at virtually the same time, hundreds of soldiers
lined up for their trip to the Middle East. Sgt. Carnell Lee said
goodbye to his wife and daughter.>

1. Bush's impeccable record
"I've never heard from the President," said Roberts. "He's never sent
his condolences and never acknowledged my son personally, and that's
what I ask of him."

He hasn't been to the funeral of one soldier yet.

guess he's too busy chumming around with the "elite" class.

2. "He's already met with her." Guess that doesn't apply here, does it?
Peace.

3. It really is so disgusting and amazing
And people still call him a good Christian and a good compassionate person? Yeah freakin right. The blonde rightwinger on Maher's show last night said he's the president and he can't meet with everybody. Damn straight he can if he killed them!

4. That makes four Gold Star Moms that are with Cindy in Crawford!
Five total.

I just learned today that there are two Gold Star Moms from Oregon that are in Crawford, standing with Cindy.

And late last night I heard about these two Gold Star Moms from Georgia that are going to stand with Cindy and demand answers from shrub.

Are there more that we don't know about?

Hey media, WAKE UP! Are you going to smear *ALL* of them? Maybe you will just continue to *IGNORE* all of them!!

I hope that hundreds of Gold Star Moms travel to Crawford and sit on the doorstep of the beast who sent their children off to die for a lie.
