  • Breakfast with Dennis Kucinich
    8 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION by Cindy Sheehan
    Little did I know, as Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh) and I were driving through the streets of a Cleveland, Ohio, another American city that looks like it is preparing for the onslaught of a very cold winter on that gray morning, that he would be presenting me with a clear, reasonable, and obvious plan for bringing American troops out what is rapidly becoming total anarchy in Iraq.
    The previous evening, Dennis and I, both spoke at the (…)

  • Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers: We the People are Setting the Table Now

    Dear Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Conyers,
    I am writing this open letter to you both on the day after Veteran’s Day. A day that has so much more meaning to me since my son Casey was KIA in Iraq for absolutely no reason but to line the pockets of the war machine. I cried in front of his symbolic tombstone at Arlington Northeast in Philadelphia and I dreamed of him before I awakened. Casey’s "tombstone" was planted in the ground directly across from Liberty Hall which was the birth place of our (…)

  • Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers
    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers By Cindy Sheehan July 13, 2006 As of today, the War Department lists 2544 as the number of murdered troops in Iraq. Dozens of innocent Iraqis are being killed due to this war crime every day. More than 80 Iraqis were killed in Baghdad alone on July 9th: dozens of people just in one city on one day who would be alive if not for BushCo.
    I don’t know what number Casey was. I have seen people say 614, I have seen people say 714. It doesn’t (…)

    Cindy Sheehan is on a hunger strike at the mall in Washington DC and she needs company!
    Look at this beautiful park. Doesn’t this look like the perfect place for an extended protest?
    "I often get told that I should "love America, or leave it." This is ridiculous logic and empty rhetoric. I love the country that I was born in and I love Americans. I am an American and so are my children. Casey was born and died a fine American who was abused by the same leaders that are abusing the (…)

    Hundreds of peace-loving and dedicated people joined we organizers of the fast outside of the White House during the past two eventful and event-filled days. The Granny Peace Brigade walked (…)

    Millions of American have just watched in disgust as our congress ignored the will of the American people and voted against setting a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Who (…)

    Recently there has been some debate between Cindy Sheehan and Scott Ritter on the success (or lack there of) of the peace movement. Cindy Sheehan took offence at Ritter dissing the peace movement, but as everyone can see, we have gotten nowhere. A clear majority are now against this war. A clear majority want Bush impeached immediately. We are beyond critical mass, and yet the war drums are now beating for Iran. What has gone wrong?
    While the ’peace movement’ is distracted by talking (…)
