Ms Sheehan -
You don't know me. I am just a parent of a kid in the fight.

You gave hope where there was no hope. You spoke for so many, many of us.

I know it cost you dearly.

Thank you - from the bottom of my heart.

In the end - I think you will have saved lives - I really do. Our kids lives.

Maybe not my kid - but others. You did the right thing. And that is so hard to do sometimes.

God will remember you - I am sure.

Joe

7. If you are going to do that you tell her this.
The kids know they are getting paraded up and down the street just to get shot at - they KNOW it.

They know this is all political - they know all those things.

It is strange to me -cause we both know - those little kids play video games all the time -hot video games they bought in Iraq too. Hard for me to take them as adults. You read this and you know exactly what I am saying - they live like kids - but they die like adults.


Even if you save just one kid - just one - god will remember that.

You did great Cindy.

Joe

8. She deserves credit - not me.
My kid is not dead - not yet. Hers is.

I appreciate the sentiment - she is due.

Joe

10. I few months ago you and vehemently I disagreed about something
I can't even remember what it was but I have a personal policy that I don't put people on ignore because I disagree with them. I only put people on ignore when they seem wilfully antagonistic. I am so glad that that is my litmus test because if not, I would have missed this. That would have been a huge shame.

In other words, thank you. That is such an important, loving, truthful thing to say. I feel privileged to have seen it.

14. Beautifully said
I too have a kid in this fight . He's just 11 but He stood out on
a street corner to support Cindy while she was in Crawford .

He had just started Kindergarten when the september 11th murders
happened . Practically his whole life I've dedicated myself to this
fight . He has sacrificed time with me , but encourages me to
keep up , protecting him and this nation . When I think of Your
Casey and the other loved ones lost , I know it is worth it .

It's worth the sacrifice .

My whole family welcomes Cindy back home in California .
We are ready to brainstorm and figure out a "new angle" to stopping
this madness of WAR.

Thanks Cindy

15. Is this a libertarian recruitment ad?
Soften her up with a few compliments then pop the question: will you join my libertarian party of ex-repuke frauds who claim to be the only real conservatives?

17. Hey, Joe....
I have been limiting my computer time to just two days a week out of concern for my sanity (I frisbeed my laptop off the veranda during Gonzoles' "testimony").

But I have been thinking about your boy.

A lot.
