AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE BUSH
November 4, 2004
Dear George,
You don’t mind if I call you George do you? When you sent me a letter offering your condolences on the death of my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq, you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis.
George, it has been seven months today since your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, my big boy, my hero, my best-friend: Casey. It has been seven months since your ignorant and arrogant lack of planning for the peace murdered my oldest child. It has been two days since your dishonest campaign stole another election…but you all were way more subtle this time than in 2000, weren’t you? You hardly had to get the Supreme Court of the United States involved at all this week.
You feel so proud of yourself for betraying the country again, don’t you? You think you are very clever because you pulled the wool over the eyes of some of the people again. You think that you have some mandate from God…that you can “spend your political capital” any way that you want. George you don’t care or even realize that 56,000,000 plus citizens of this country voted against you and your agenda. Still, you are going to continue your ruthless work of being a divider and not a uniter. George, in 2000 when you stole that election and the Democrats gave up, I gave up too. I had the most ironic thought of my life then: "Oh well, how much damage can he do in four years?" Well, now I know how much you have damaged my family, this country, and this world. If you think I am going to allow you another four years to do even more damage, then you truly are mistaken. I will fight for a true vote count and if that fails, your impeachment. Also, the impeachment of your Vice President. The only thing is, I'm not politically savvy, and I don't have a Karl Rove to plan my strategy, but I do have a big mouth and a righteous cause, which still mean something in this country, I hope.
All of this lying, fooling, and betraying must be “hard work” George. You really think you know what hard work is?
George, let me tell you what “hard work” really is.
Hard work is seeing your oldest son, your brave and honorable man-child go off to a war that had, and still has, no basis in reality. Hard work is worrying yourself gray and not being able to sleep for 2 weeks because you don’t know if your child is safe.
Hard work is seeing your son’s murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you’re enjoying the last supper you’ll ever truly enjoy again.
Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son…your first born…your kind and gentle sweet baby.
Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big “baba” into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both.
But, Dear George, do you know what the hardest work of all is? Trying to digest the fact that the leader of the country that your family has fought for and died for, for generations, lied to you and betrayed your dear boy’s sense of honor and exploited his courage and exploited his loyalty to his buddies. Hard work is having your country abandon you after they killed your son. Hard work is coming to the realization that your son had his future robbed from him and that you have had your son's future and future grand-children stolen from you. Hard work is knowing that there are so many people in this world that have prospered handsomely from your son's death.
George, I must confess that I and my family worked very HARD to re-defeat you this time, but you refuse to stay defeated. Well, we are watching you very carefully. We are going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people into a disastrous war and for mis-using and abusing your power as Commander-in-Chief. We are going to scream until our last breath to bring the rest of our babies home from this quagmire of a war that you have gotten our country in to: before too many more families learn the true meaning of Hard Work. We know it is going to be an uphill battle, knowing how Republican Congress is, but thanks to you, we know the meaning of Hard Work and we’re not afraid of hard work at all.
The 56,000,000 plus citizens who voted against you and your agenda have given me a mandate to move forward with my agenda. Also, thanks to you and your careless domestic policies, I am unemployed, so this will be my full-time job. Being your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life and it will bring justice for my son and 1125 (so far) other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed. By the way, George, how many more innocent Iraqis are your policies going to kill before you convince them that you are better than Saddam? How many more of their cities are you going to level before you consider that they are liberated? If you really had any moral values, or if you were an honorable man at all you would resign. My son was a man who had high moral values and true courage. Humanity lost a bright light on April 04, 2004. I will live the rest of my life missing Casey desperately. Thank you for that, George. Have a nice day.
God Bless America!! We surely need it!

UPDATES ON CINDY SHEEHAN VISIT TO CRAWFORD
Tuesday, Aug. 9, 20059:00 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2005
For early birds, Cindy Sheehan appeared on Good Morning America earlier today.
In Central Texas it is raining, at times hard.
Rumors persist about arrests of Cindy Sheehan and perhaps others on Thursday, as previously reported..
The Lone Star Iconoclast has dispatched two reporters to the Peace House to provide updates as the day progresses.
11:45 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2005
Iconoclast reporter Deborah Mathews reporting:
The weather report from Crawford is that it is nasty, 71 degrees and constantly drizzling. A documentarian from Germany is shooting with a bag around her camera. There's lots of water standing everywhere.
Cindy Sheehan is currently in an undisclosed bed and breakfast in Crawford, conducting phone interviews and is expected back at the Peace House or camp area around 1:30 or 2 p.m.
Because Sheehan's phone line is so overwhelmed, persons wanting to contact her are asked to call Ann Wright, CodePink founding member, at 808-741-1141, who will forward messages..
The campers have announced that there will be a thousand crosses erected in the ditches near the campground tomorrow. The crosses have been ordered and a truck left this morning for 24-hour delivery The crosses are being provided by a Veterans for Peace group out of Louisiana.
"We are looking for volunteers" to help put them in, noted Wilson, explaining that law enforcement personnel might be standing behind them pulling them out as fast as they are erected.
Dick Underhill, the Austin chairman for Veterans for Peace, has issued a call for all veterans to come back to Crawford and support Cindy.
A Secret Service agent showed up a little while ago and was talking to some members of CodePink. He was wearing bluejeans and a windbreaker. When the documentarian from Germany pointed her camera at him from about 50 yards away, he positioned his face away from the camera.
Every five minutes a DPS trooper drives by. It appears that they are on some sort of rotation.
The triangular area where the campers were evicted yesterday, standing in water, now has a no trespassing sign posted.
Although unconfirmed, the campers said that a couple of farmers came by earlier and one said, "You have made your point. Why don't you leave." Note was made that there is some talk about the entire road being closed if the campers don't leave, which would make it difficult for the farmers to have access to their property from the road.
Sheehan and about six others spent the night in their tents. Somebody brought a pavillion tent and placed it over the sleeping tents. Otherwise, they said, they would have slept in the rain.

This was obviously written for her. She merely "signed" it.
Army SPC Casey Sheehan, 24, of Vacaville, Calif.;
assigned to 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas; killed April 4, 2004, when his unit was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Baghdad.
Vacaville eulogizes soldier from Iraq
Associated Press article from April 2004)
VACAVILLE, Calif. — Hundreds of mourners came out Tuesday to remember Army Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan as an honor student who was quick to help out others.
The 24-year-old Sheehan died in Iraq last week, bringing the war closer to this town located between San Francisco and Sacramento.
“His life has brought new meaning to our community,” said Vacaville Mayor Len Augustine, who declared April 13, 2004 as Casey Austin Sheehan Memorial Day. “He made the ultimate sacrifice.”
Nearly 1,000 people filled St. Mary’s Church to bid farewell to Sheehan, who had been in Iraq only two weeks before he was killed in a battle with Shiite militia outside Baghdad.
“Casey was such a special man — the perfect son,” said longtime family friend Estella Tucker.
Sheehan was a member of the 82nd Field Artillery of the 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas.
Army Maj. Gen. Rodney Kobayashi was on hand to present Sheehan’s family with the Purple Heart and Bronze Star and thank them for a fine soldier, “a soldier’s soldier.”
The Army is still investigating the circumstances surrounding Sheehan’s death. The Pentagon believes Sheehan and seven soldiers were killed when their units were attacked by rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire south of Baghdad.
In addition to his parents, Patrick and Cindy, Sheehan is survived by his brother, Andy, and sisters, Carly and Jane.
Sheehan was killed Sunday in a fire-fight outside Baghdad. Sheehan’s family members said his sergeant told them he and another soldier, Cpl. Forest J. Jostes, volunteered to be part of a quick response team when rioting started in Baghdad.
“He didn’t have to go,” said Sheehan’s 23-year-old sister, Carly. “He would do anything for anybody. He’d give you the shirt off his back. He was just a loving and caring person.”
Carly Sheehan said her brother was active in his Catholic church, spending 10 years as an altar server and serving in the youth ministry.
“That’s all he wanted to do was serve God and his country his whole life,” Carly Sheehan said. “He was a boy scout from age 6 or 7 and an Eagle Scout. It was kind of a natural progression to go into the military from that. He said he was enjoying the military because it was just like the boy scouts but they got guns.”

(God rest your soul, Casey Sheehan. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of Freedom. A grateful nation salutes you.)
Now would be a good time to start a list of the reporters IN Crawford this summer.
this ugly, hate-filled post went by without comment until my plea for respect and love of others, especially one who lost her son to combat.
it was met with unbridled hatred.
so much for the Christ message to love all.
i pray for your reallignment with Him.
Cindy Sheehan just informed us of what we knew all along. The mainstream media is full of America-bashing pseudo-journalists who wouldn't make a decent pimple on the backside of the journalists of yesteryear (I'm talking pre-Walter Cronkhite).
It's mainly the A and B team White House reporters. I'm sure more will be joining the party soon.
You need to direct your message to the poster of #50, not to deport.
Hey Cindy ... ya got any names you'd like to share with us?
