    Salutations,
    Please forward widely
    Cindy Sheehan’s son, Casey was killed in the Iraq War. She is turning her tragic loss into a relentless anti-war campaign that has brought her to Crawford, Texas to occupy a space outside G.W. Bush’s ranch until he agrees to speak with her. As I write this, supporters in Crawford have been harassed by the police, gone on huner strike and are in need of your support. Rumsfeld and Rice are expected to arrive at Crawford tomorrow to meet with G.W. Bush so (…)

    Cindy Sheehan’s soldier son Casey was killed near Baghdad. Now her one-woman protest at the gates of the US president’s Texas ranch has become a metaphor for a nation’s increasing unease about involvement in an unwinnable conflict.
