KSFO/San Francisco talk host Melanie Morgan's group Move America Forward is organizing a counterevent, to take on Cindy Sheehan's Crawford circus, that has Rhodes so excited:
Next week Move America Forward will be leading a caravan to Crawford, Texas - to present an alternative voice to that of Cindy Sheehan, who has become the heroine of the "Blame America First" crowd.
The Move America Forward's caravan (the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour) will consist of family members who have loved ones fighting in the war against terrorism - stationed in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
The truth is that the men and women in military and their families are the strongest supporters of the war on terrorism, and they do not agree with the message or antics of Cindy Sheehan.
Their voices must now be heard - and with your help we will make sure they ARE heard. It is also important to note that every time there are stories that Americans do not support the troops fighting in Iraq it emboldens the terrorist insurgents fighting there.
We cannot allow MoveOn.org, Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan communicate a false sense of weakness to the terrorists overseas.
This is the worst possible response. I'm rolling my eyes at the idiots who think this will do anything worthwhile. They're just contributing to the media spectacle and ensuring that the MSM pours out stories about poor, abused, etc. Cindy every night. The best thing to do to get her out of the headlines would have been to just ignore her. In a week or two Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would have done something stupid and America's short attention span would reset itself.
I disagree with you whole heartedly. It's about time Patriots of America brought this sham of a mother down. We have been silent too long. The liberal media will always keep this story alive until the 2006 & 2008 elections because this is a story at the doorstep of President G.W. Bush's home town. The local newspaperw will keep running this story because a sleepy town doesn't have much to print about, but this Sheethan story will sell. I'm glad an organization with such clout decided to take Sheethan on.

I'm all for it. Time to stand up and be counted instead of whimpering in a corner. Give the cameras something to record other than one side, there's too much one-sided reporting going on anyway.
GO FOR IT!!

Heading up the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" caravan will be Deborah Johns of Northern California Marine Moms. Deborah's son, William is a Marine who has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. [One of Deborah's other sons, Adam Johns, was the organizer of "Operation Fuzzy Wuzzy" which collected and sent 5,000 stuffed animals and teddy bears to the children who survived the terrorist attack on the school in Beslan, Russia].
Deborah was the focus of a TV ad that ran directly counter to one produced by MoveOn.org that featured Cindy Sheehan. You can see Deborah's pro-troop ad that countered Cindy Sheehan's ad below:

Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward and talk radio host on KSFO 560 AM - San Francisco, will join the caravan for its final leg into Crawford, Texas. She will lead a grand finale patriotic rally along with Deborah Johns in Crawford, Texas on Saturday, August 27th.
To make this event a success we will be reaching out to organizations such as Protest Warrior, FreeRepublic.com, MarineMoms, and countless others. We will need your assistance in helping spread word of this event to others, in order to make it a giant national success.
This will be an expensive trip for us that can only take place successfully if we receive your financial support.
One of the elements of this trip that will incur substantial costs for us will be the promotion of the caravan and rally via television ads that will air nationwide on Fox News Channel - we want to build as large of a crowd as possible. We want the President to see that the families of America's military men and women are behind him in the fight against terrorism. And, we want to make sure that we also get our message on the air to "rebut" Cindy Sheehan so the American people hear the truth, not the spin through the liberal media.
From tonight's Drudge Report:
CINDY UNLEASHED: 'THE BIGGEST TERRORIST IN THE WORLD IS GEORGE W. BUSH'
Wed Aug 17 2005 21:51:56 ET
"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. Were waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"
So declared Cindy Sheehan earlier this year during a rally at San Francisco State University.
Sheehan, who is demanding a second meeting with Bush, stated: "We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."
Sheehan unleashed a foul-mouth tirade on April 27, 2005:
"Theyre a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.
"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?"
"The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that its so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."
"We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in Washington, we will impeach all those people."
