The email is from Cherie Quarterolo, who is speaking for the family and is Casey Sheehan's godmother. The email, with the statement contained, follows:
Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks Cherie
In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue:
Sheehan Family Statement:
The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.
Sincerely,
Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
I know this group....fringe wackos.
Mo remember that DC rally and Viola Plummer...its Viola's group.
If my memory is right they were connected to Teresa Heinz-Kerry also.
CCC:
Thnaks. I note that Communist Party USA and Socialist Party USA are part of UFPJ, as are the commie pinko parties and socialist parties for several states.
And I thought Kim, Fonda and Fidel were the last of the commie rat bastards.
McCain, I think was at the same event that this meeting occured
Tony Snow played a clip of the speech the President gave that day
I'll have to search for it .. but his voice was choked up when he talked about the soldiers killed and their families
Bless that family for releasing that statement. Aside from their grief, they have the public embarrassment of Cindy's increasingly bizarre statements to deal with.
I hope so....

Join Cindy Sheehan's Protest in Crawford
Cindy Sheehan went to Crawford to ask President Bush, "Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for?" Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Iraq, on April 4, 2004. President Bush continues to refuse Cindys requests for a meeting, so she has made a stand outside his Crawford Ranch. At her side is CODEPINK''s Diane Wilson who began a hunger strike at their roadside vigil until Bush talks to Cindy. Show your solidarity with Cindy by joining us in Crawford, fasting with Diane, or BIRDDOG BUSH at his events throughout the country. Click here to check out daily blogs from Crawford and see who is fasting with Diane today.

That link doesn't work for me. Anyone else??
I think a certain level of naivete is also part of this. There is a significant portion of the "Conservative" movement who do not seem to grasp to what levels of utter intellectual and moral depravity the Political Left is willing to sink to to promote their "holy" agenda. My illusions about them were shattered watching the 2002 "Wellstone Memorial" service.
While I understand that I also believe that this woman is exhibiting some characteristics of grief syndrome.
Even though she was opposed to Bush prior to her son's death, she has now taken it to another level, and is using her anger over the death of her son drive her (classic grief step).
Do not misread me, I think the whole thing is despicable, but were it not for the radical leftwing organizations who have taken her into their fold, she would be a mother sitting at her house angry and mad about the death and lashing out at her family. Now that they have supplied her with an audience, she can lash out at someone she hated prior to the death, in public.
Classic...
Straight from the horse's (ass) mouth...
Anyone else still feeling sorry for this "grieving mother?"
CCC is right; I screwed up the coding. :) Use the link he provided, instead.
Ping to you on my post in #93
Now that's the first I've read of that. Good grief.
I just checked .. McCain was at the speech and that is why they would have photos of him also
Because she has to cleanse the web of all her previous encounters and statements now that she's being exposed. Her own words and pictures prove her a liar.
All the same old names.
