Mother and Anti-War Hero Cindy Sheehan Signs with Speaking Matters LLC for Public Speaking Tour

Cindy Sheehan may have ended her summer vigil at the president's ranch in Crawford, Texas, but she is taking her anti-war activism to colleges/universities by participating in public speaking and public programs across the nation.

New York, NY (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) September 14, 2005 -- There are moments in history when the courageous actions of one individual act to galvanize a movement – whether for civil rights, women's rights, pro-democracy, or against a war.

The summer of 2005 will forever be remembered with one mother's vigil for her lost son at President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan has re-energized the nation's anti-war movement with her unflagging desire to meet with the president to ask: “What is the noble cause for which my son died in Iraq?”

Cindy Sheehan has become a national symbol of the powerless confronting the powerful, of a mother mourning the loss of her child and seeking answers from the nation's commander-in-chief, the man who made the case for the war in which her son lost his life.

Sheehan's activism has not ended with the president returning to Washington after his vacation. She is now involved in public speaking to groups around the country: one mother with one voice and one mission – to find a way to bring our troops home and spare other parents the grief of losing a child in an unjust war.

For additional information on Cindy Sheehan and her public speaking availability, visit www.speakingmatters.org.

Who else cashes in on Casey's death? Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin are already "clients" of this ghoulish enterprise.

This anti-American stuff pays well it seems.

“What is the noble cause for which my son died in Iraq?”

Yo, Cindy. What is the petty cause for which you are exploiting your son's death? Oh, I see. You don't want to answer the question. That's fine. No, no, no! Don't hang up. Stay with me here.

Okay, if you don't want to answer the question. I'll offer some answers: You're doing it for money, fame, and hatred.

Nope, there's nothing noble about your own cause.

Click. Bzzzzzzzz.

Great stuff. If you go to the actual LLC's website, there is an email form for inquiries so they can quote you a confidential price. Under Sheehan's profile it says: "Book early for preferred dates!"

I used to think she was just a whore for attention. I thought too highly of her, apparently. She is just a standard whore, performing for cash on the barrel.

This is a dinky little one-man no-respect Speakers Bureau, with zero significant clients.... and Cindy certainly hasn't added anything to the coven.

Even their phone number is a personal, not a business number, and they had to pay for the listing on the PR Wire!

True, true . . . but people will pay Shatner 50 large to speak at conventions!

Have Cindy Sheehan take down 5Gs plus a hot lunch here, have Aaron Broussard take 3Gs and a dismissed indictment there, and pretty soon ya gotta business goin'!

You hafta start small.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: On some level, this woman is thrilled that her son is dead because that's her path to being a celebrity.

I get a Munchausen's-by-Proxy vibe from this woman.

I say the same thing.

She is flat-out delighted that her son is dead.

He signed up for the military and she hated him for it.

He died a hero and she thought: "Hah! I was right! That shows him for crossing me!"

This woman is viler than Michael Moore.

Saw it for 30 years as a newsie. They love their face time.

When Son of Sam killed one girl, her mother would get ALL dolled up for interviews, the wig, huge cleavage, full stage makeup, etc.

Cindy who?

I thought she was going on a bus tour. I guess she ran out of money for gas.

Hey, quit insulting "whores"! She's way worse than selling herself out for money! Cause you get nothing in return and aren't smiling when she's finished!
