Cindy in Hawaii- Stop the War and Impeach Bush!
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan urged a standing-room-only crowd at the Church of the Crossroads last night to unite to stop the war in Iraq, impeach President Bush and "see justice" for those killed since the war started in 2003.

"If you don’t want the war machine to invade your island, don’t let it happen," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son died in Iraq and who gained international attention for staging an anti-war demonstration outside Bush’s ranch in Texas.

"Anybody can do what I do. We are the checks and balances for our country. We would like to see justice," she told the crowd of about 750...

Last night, she told audience members that she never got involved in anything before her son’s death because she believed she could not make a difference.

"But we are the ones that have the power," she said. "We have a voice."


She said Bush should either resign or be impeached for leading the country into war, and she promised to "fight to bring down the war machine in this country."

2. WE are the ones we have been waiting for
"We cannot relax in 2006. We cannot slip back into the evil of apathy and complacency that the neocons rejoice in."

"We need to keep pounding, working, and fighting."



"I would like to give you all a heads up on them so you can make your plans accordingly to support us and to join us if at all possible.On January 31st, we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home."
