Cherie Quartarolo (and yes, I spelled it wrong in the first post) confirmed the statement and has forwarded it to others. Melanie Morgan let me know that it has been confirmed. Melanie's statement:
I have recieved many phone calls, letters, and inquiries about the veracity of the letter sent to me by the family of SFC Casey Sheehan, who died in Iraq. His mother Cindy Sheehan is now camping out at the presidential ranch in Crawford, Texas demanding a meeting with Mr. Bush to 'explain his noble cause for which her son died'.
The letter came from Cheri Quarterolo, a regular listener of KSFO Radio. Cheri is Casey Sheehan's Aunt and godmother. I have confirmed that the letter represents the entire Sheehan side of Casey's family.
Many of the relatives do not want their names made public, and will not be making further statements. But Mrs. Quarterolo confirms that Cindy's actions have been extremely hurtful. "We're coming unglued. We can't walk down the street without people stopping us and telling us that they agree with Cindy. We do not."
Mrs. Quarterolo has now spoken with Matt Drudge, and confirmed her identity for his Internet News website.
Best Regards, Melanie Morgan, co-host of The Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan show, KSFO, San Francisco
I also received a confirmation from Cherie Quartarolo herself confirming her statement.
It's painful to see such divisions within a family, but I do believe that those who are suffering from Cindy Sheehan's activism should also be heard.
Can't wait for the "left" to try to get "swiftboated" inserted in the next dictionaries.......... LOL!
Well, here's a bit of hometown paper info published in 2004 that people might want to read:
