Cindy Sheehan WAS NOT RELEASED as promised.

[ray of light]

Instead she was moved to a downtown jail. Please get the word out.

1. What?!

We have to spread this far and wide.

[jsamuel]

2. Everyone will know when she isn't on TV in the morning!

[FormerRepublican]

3. They're trying to keep her off the morning news shows, looks like.

What revolting pieces of crap. The ACLU definately needs to get involved.

[Blue_In_AK]

4. This is so wrong...

[HEyHEY]

5. Time for an armed storming of the prison!

[Hissyspit]

6. The update post from ladytechie:

"I would like to ask anyone still up to help get the word out that Cindy was taken downtown rather than being released, as we were told she would be.

And for anyone who thinks Cindy did ANYTHING to provoke this ridiculous act, I can assure you that she wore the same shirt she had been wearing all day--for her prebuttal--and that it was a last minute opportunity to go inside the chambers; she did not particularly want to do it, and did not decide until about 7:45 to do so.

She did not even think about what she was wearing, since she'd been in it all day long."

[RoyGBiv]

7. A post from that thread ...

That needs to be repeated over and over and over and over, paying particular attention to these <explitive deleted> who think she framed this as a stunt to grab attention for herself or that anything she did today was in any single way wrong.

I am so pissed off I want to break things. More practically I want to walk down to that jail and take what legal measures can be taken either to get her the hell out or have someone answer why she is still there, on the record. Being 2000 miles away I can't do that, and it's frustrating, and I can't sleep because I know someone is now sitting in a jail cell in the United States of America as a political prisoner for daring even to wear a garmet that might have made his holiness uncomfortable.

FUCK!!!!

11. Wasn't Conyers and Pelosi blogging somewhere?

Tired, Can't think where, but I know I read it not too long ago.

on edit: they might be able to help her.

[clitzpah queen]

9. CINDY is now a threat to Di Fi as well! Besides being a most reluctant

filibusterer, Di Fi is also the wife of one of SF's wealthiest men: A Big Defense Contractor. Tying Cindy up either in jails or courtrooms can work for Certain Democrats as Well as the Busheviks.

[Rocknrule]

10. They're trying to make an example of her

[enigmatic]

12. This is big

I'm knocking on wood here, but this travesty has the potential to be Camp Casey times 10 for W's bad publicity.

What a complete embarrassment this is going to be to this administration. As it should be.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

13. Thanks for the update

This story is big & will not go away over night. More people will be taking about this than the speech a week from now.

[Charlie Brown]

14. Cindy DID NOTHING WRONG

If she's not released, someone needs to file a lawsuit against the Cap Police for not permitting bail.

[quinnox]

15. Let's hope she won't have to resort to a hunger strike

to get out of jail!

[mirandapriestly]

16. Now they are jailing for dissent!

People are going to be too scared to protest! I am scared! It's happening...

[GirlinContempt]

17. somebody set up us the bomb!

[low_phreaq]

27. All your freedom are belong to us!

[shanti]

25. don't be scared

be brave...like cindy!

gwaan cindy! :yourock:

[951-Riverside]

18. WTF someone posted earlier that she was released

This person also mentioned she was tired but ready to make her today show appearance. *WTF*

[az chela]

19. Cindy is out

She was held for 4 hrs and roughed up a little and has now gone back to her hotel and to bed.

[jsamuel]

20. Thanks, start a new thread with that info!

[RoyGBiv]

21. Good ...

Where do you get your news, btw? Not doubting you, just want some confirmation so I can officially let my neck muscles relax and go to sleep.

[ray of light]

29. Look, we haven't heard that she's out yet.

I don't know what that person's sources are, but mine are closer to the scene. Perhaps, she's out because we heard they may be releasing her soon, but that's what they said two hours ago too (Before she was transfered downtown.)

[Roxy66]

23. Link?

[ClassWarrior]

35. "David reports Cindy has just been released." 12:08 a.m.

Here: http://www.democrats.com/sheehan-arrested-in-capitol

Fertik is reliable.

NGU.

[Hissyspit]

26. Source? n/t

[ray of light]

28. We have not heard from Cindy yet. And until we do so,

we will have to wait for the media's video.

[clitzpah queen]

22. Cindy is now a BIG threat to Di Fi of Cali as well. I'm not saying

Cindy would win the seat if she ran against Di Fi but her announcement of that possibility has generated GREAT excitement. A Sheehan campaign would be a great lightening rod to focus a lot of the long pent-up rage and frustration all progressive Californians feel towards Di Fi. Besides being the ever-reluctant filibusterer, lets not forget Di Fi is married to one of SF's wealthiest men: a BIG Defense Contractor. So Tying Cindy up in Jails or Courtrooms can be most advantageous for Certain Democrats as WELL as the Busheviks.

[mirandapriestly]

24. Interesting....nt

[fooj]

30. Heard you the first time, queen.

Thanks for the info. "Di Fi" is MY Senator. I'm her constituent. Haven't heard her referred to as "Di Fi" in, well, the last time I listened to a right-wing whack job on the radio.

Peace.

[redacted]

33. My senator too, and the "Di Fi" references sound very peculiar.

[fooj]

34. Yep.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[clitzpah queen]

36. You know I lived in California for 5 years and one of the cutest things

about SOME mellow Californians is that they can turn out to be some of the most passive agressive fuckers in the world and do it with a big smile. Or stab you with hostile little messages while they sign off with a simple....humble...message of...."peace".

(edited to pre-empt a peacefully delivered grammar correction)

[clitzpah queen]

37. I didn't really understand what you meant by "the first time" --

I did NOT post twice on purpose. After I "posted" the first time I got a DU message page telling me my post did NOT post and that I needed to go back to the main page and post it again. So that's how THAT happened. I'm certainly no freeper. I just hate Democrats who hold back REAL progress (what a Poor substitute she was Post Harvey Milk -- now THAT was an organizer and a politician to respect!!)

[fooj]

39. Post #9 and Post #22.

Peace.


BTW- Don't EVER call me a "fucker" again. Is that passive aggressive enough for ya?

[Selteri]

31. Unacceptable

Arrested and help on what? 'Terrorist' charges for wearing a T-shirt that is sympathetic to the 'terra-rists' or something? No sign of a banner no sign of anything being wdone wrong, yet she's been jailed for sitting at the SOTA speach?

[orleans]

32. any word yet? n/t

[ClassWarrior]

38. David Swanson reported her release nearly A HALF HOUR before you posted...

...this. Your sources appear to be bad.

NGU.
