  • Leuren Moret to CINDY!
    10 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Dear Cindy - Seeing you camped this week at the gate
    of George Bush’s Texas ranch in Crawford is a very
    powerful statement to the world. Major change begins
    often with a single person.
    We are standing beside you as you stand your ground
    and gain the sympathy of the world - as a grieving
    parent - who has lost her only son because of a "Texas
    longhorn" size pile of lies. Your courage and
    unrelenting national and international campaign to
    stop the Iraq war has made a big impact on (…)

  • Cindy Sheehan : the Peaceful Occupation of Camp Crawford (Day 4)

    — a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX
    Today started at 4am when I had to get up and get ready to be on Good Morning America. It was pouring down rain at Camp Casey. The wind was blowing and there was thunder and lightening. It was pretty exciting. The interview went very well. I haven’t seen it or read a transcript. Since it was taped, I am just wondering if they showed it when I said Bush doesn’t want to see me because he likes to surround himself with "sycophants." I also (…)

  • Cindy Sheehan threatened with arrest: Freedom to Assemble under threat

    Can you believe Bush? He hasn’t attended a single funeral of the 1838 soldiers reported as killed in action, 20 dead in two days last week, 9 more today- they’re dead because he lied, and now he’s on vacation! And if that’s not bad enough, now he wants to arrest Cindy Sheehan on the grounds that she’s a threat.
    Whatever happened to the First Amendment- the FREEDOM to Peaceably Assemble? According to Bush- that is no longer our right. After 9/11 they had to take away that freedom to (…)

    CLEVELAND — On the stage sat a helmet, a pair of worn soldier’s boots and a folded American flag. In the audience were thousands who turned out Monday night to honor 16 fallen Marines and their hard-hit Ohio battalion.
    "Our own band of brothers," Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones said during an hour-long memorial service of prayers, bagpipes intoning "Amazing Grace" and montages of the troops from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines who died in the past two weeks in Iraq.

    Crawford, Texas: The US President draws anti-war protesters just about wherever he goes, but few generate the kind of attention that Cindy Sheehan has since she drove down the winding road towards George Bush’s ranch last weekend to try and tell him face to face to pull all US troops out of Iraq.

  • Bizarro Iraq : a war of "liberation" brings only slavery - and death
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Justin Raimondo
    Cindy Sheehan is on a mission. The death of her son in combat in Iraq has sent her on her own personal odyssey, a quest for the answer to the question: Why? The latest stop in that journey: Crawford, Texas, right outside the presidential ranch, where she and a few intrepid antiwar protesters marched in the triple-digit heat, determined to confront the author of this war. Bush didn’t come out to meet her, but, surprisingly, she was met by two of his top aides - national (…)
