Maxine Waters is at Camp Casey!
I saw it first on Bartcop....then I did a little Googling, and sure enough, she's there!

Here's the link....

Good to know that at least ONE Dem had the cojones to support Cindy Sheehan! Where are the others? Oh, I forgot, they're on THEIR five week vacation along with the Homeland Kid! We gotta get the Quislings out of our party, folks!

2006...RE-ELECT NOBODY!!!! (Maxine Waters getting back in is acceptable, though! LOL!)

1. I don't WANT a bunch of politicians
crowding for face time there. Luckily, most of them are smart enough to leave the spotlight squarely where it belongs.

2. Maxine Waters is always there leading the way.
She along with the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus are always two steps ahead of the rest of the democrats. Somehow I knew she would be one of the first to visit Cindy. What a great Lady.

3. I see where you're coming from....
...and if clowns like Lieberman, Biden, and Kerry show up riding Maxine Waters's coattails and trying to steal headlines, I say to hell with 'em....but Cindy Sheehan's case is better stated with the backing of SOMEONE in Washington, in my opinion...which brings me to this:

Where is Hillary (and Bill) Clinton?
Where is Al Gore?
Where is Barack Obama?
Where is Howard Dean?
Where is Ted Kennedy?
Where is Jesse Jackson?
Where is Al Sharpton?
Where is John Conyers?
Where is Bernie Sanders?

Where is Current TV? (This is the new network Al Gore helped start-covering Cindy Sheehan would be an EXCELLENT way for them to get some press!)

Where is Air America Radio? (Randi Rhodes, in her defense, DID explain that she was unable to attend due to the show, but didn't the good little Catholic boy Sean Hannity and Fox News manage to do remotes in Florida for Terri Schiavo? Also, in their defense, they DO give Cindy Sheehan airtime with her calling in on Randi's show, Mike Malloy's show, Janeane and Sam's show-do a remote there, guys, if only for a day!)

This may be what liberals need to get the ball rolling-DON'T SCREW THIS UP!

4. Randi Rhodes said
that she is going to try and go down there in the next week or so. I forget which day last week she said this after she talked to Cindy. So Randi plans on going.

8. Who knows?
Rosa Parks is considered by us black folk as "The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement"...Cindy Sheehan may wind up being the "Mother of the Anti-Neocon Movement"! You GO, CINDY!!!!

7. So when are we going to make her a U.S. Senator
She's always leading the way.

I suspect the reason she hasn't run is concern about her house seat. In some states, people can run for multiple seats at once. I haven't checked on that with respect to California. If she won both, a Democrat would win her house seat in a special election. Has anyone checked to see if she can do that? If no one has, I'll check it out.

10. She may not run for the Senate...
because Barbara Boxer is the senator from California...I forgot who the other senator is, which is shameful since I used to live in Los Angeles...

Maxine Waters is heading back to Washington after meeting with Cindy and the other military families.

Cindy asked Representative Waters how she deals with the media. Representative Waters told her to stay strong, "the truth is on your side."

The corporate media is digging up everything they can find to smear Cindy Sheehan. She needs everyone's support since Rove and his ilk are trying to destroy her reputation.
