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!
Cindy Sheehan
Are you supposed to be sarcastic? You must be a hero in your kindergarden.
Cindy's about two tufts short of a Travis Bickle haircut.
It pains me to say it but she's a useful idiot. Maybe she should go to Iraq and seek out survivors of Fallujah or Halabja or the Australian hostage Doug Wood and ask why good men must die for others to live. Is it disengenuous on my part to say so? Absolutely not. This woman hides behind her "victimhood" in order to advocate a policy that could have put hundreds of thousands of Americans lives in danger. Her son died and yes that is heartwrenching but hundreds of americans are alive because of it. There is nobility in that. There isn't any in cowardice.
Certainly they'll not cut her head off. Never. Not them peace loving insurgents
fighting against American Occupation. No way.
/S
thanks, I've had it with these leftists and their desire to bring America to it's knees because they can't handle being the greatest nation on the earth.
"you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis."
Didn't she say that Pres. Bush called her 'Mom' at that meeting? She said he didn't even know who she was so didn't use her name. Am I thinking right or am I confused?
As I understand the economy today .... don't we have the lowest unemployment rate in the 14 years? So the present economic policies of Bush have caused her to be unemployed? Does she even have a clue how ridiculous that analogy sounds! Obviously, the Krakatoa Volcanic explosion was the result of the insane policies of Bush also. "It's the end of the world as we know it...."
Dear Cindy,
Recieved your letter and was puzzled as to how and why a mother could try to dishonor her own son's memory. Casey is an inspiration and a hero to most Americans. Have forwarded your letter to Jamie Gorelick and those who appointed her for an explanation as to why we had to go to war in the first place.
Sincerely,
Liberty
In a way I agree, but in a way, I disagree. The more exposure this unhinged woman receives, the more discredited she and those who are behind her rantings will be. This is just like the NARAL ad. These folks just don't know when to quit. They have zilch subtlety. They just keep pushing the envelope to the point where they shoot themselves in the feet. It does no good whatsoever for the anti-war cause, to have a woman so self-obsessed, hate filled and disrespectful as their face.
So the present economic policies of Bush have caused her to be unemployed?
Yeah, she was one of Uday's lesbian mistresses.
"you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis."
Once again, another contradiction:
Sheehan said the June 2004 private meeting with the President went from bad to worse to a nightmare when Bush acted like he didn’t even want to know her name. She said Bush kept referring to her as ‘Ma’ or ‘Mom’ while he "put on a phony act," saying things like ‘Mom, I can’t even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother.’
This woman is seriously -- seriously -- delusional.
Able Danger.

It's the first thing on the DUmmie "things to do today" list.
1. Lie your @ss off about things that can be proven to be lies.
2. Call George Bush a liar.
3. Hate your Country, love the enemy.
In the letter she says Casey is her oldest child and he would be 25 today. so the youngest is probably under 21 years old. Where is the father of the children?
Right... the more we discuss this, the more likely nationally syndicated radio/tv shows will pick it up.
A few thoughts:
1) First, the wording of the letter appears to be that of Michael Moore.
2) Is it correct that the young soldier was his parents only child? If so, I seem to recall that during the draft days, if a man had no siblings, the government did not require him to enlist.
3) While a mother's grief is always respected, Mrs. Sheehan must understand that her son made the decision on his own to enlist in the Armed Forces. And, believe me, when one visits any Armed Forces recruitment center, they are told in no uncertain terms that the military is a fighting, killing machine. No person (Sheehan's son included) enlists without full knowledge that they could die on the job.
Peace.
How did her son become more mature than his mother?
Hey Cindy - Bite Me.
