Attend a vigil for Cindy Sheehan, soldier's mom
True Majority ^ | August 17, 2005

Posted on 08/17/2005 6:16:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

The movement to bring the troops home has a new, powerful voice in Cindy Sheehan. She's the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq, and her vigil outside President Bush's ranch has become an international symbol for the effort to end the war.

This week, let's show the world that there's a huge number of people across America who want this war ended. Here's how you can keep the momentum building!

http://www.moveonpac.org/event/cindyvigils/

MoveOn, TrueMajority and Democracy for America have teamed up to organize nationwide "Vigils for Cindy Sheehan" (and for all military families and Gold Star families) this coming Wednesday, August 17, starting at 7:30 p.m. local time.

The vigils are an easy way for people to come together to show support for Cindy and to speak out against the war. You can either find a vigil in your neighborhood or start one of your own. Click below to get started.

We started TrueMajority in order to compound the power of all those who believe in social justice, giving children a decent start in life, protecting the environment, and America working in cooperation with the world community............................

***.....TrueMajority, an antiwar group founded by Ben Cohen -- one of the creators of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -- hired Fenton Communications, a Washington public relations firm that has worked intermittently with Sheehan over the past year to coordinate media coverage.

With this help, Sheehan has courted coverage from the traveling White House press corps with a news conference. A schedule of when relatives of other military casualties in Iraq are expected to join Sheehan in Crawford was distributed to reporters. Her team coordinated an antiwar rally attended by hundreds in Crawford yesterday.

Sheehan also launched a television ad campaign yesterday, hoping to achieve what her roadside vigil so far has not: a second chance to directly tell Bush about the devastation she has experienced since her son's death. Source

I doubt that her little ad will detail all of her moonbat beliefs such as "The Jooooooooos" are responsible for the war. Sheehan gives mental illness a bad name.

Attend a vigil for Cindy Sheehan, soldier's mom

Rush read a post from a left-wing-wacko site yesterday saying they need to call Cindy a mother. That it would play better than calling her Cindy.

Well, it looks like the msm has fallen in line:

Here's my suggestion:

We take up a collection and arrange for mothers of dead Iraqis, maimed persons who survived Sadaam's chambers of horror, proud Gold Star mothers and Debra Burlingame to attend and share in the greif brought on by the Islamofacists..Talk about a media circus and talk about absolute moral authority....

...a new, powerful voice in Cindy Sheehan.

Equine Excrement.

She is a barking moonbat.

To hell with her and her "message".

sheehan's real agenda is crystal clear

and she then pretends that all she wants in this whole world is a chance to speak with President Bush about her son, Casey, when in fact


This deceitful little charade of sheehan's is as vile as it is transparent!!!

Unless of course "brown-skinned" arabs arent worth shedding white skinned American blood. Isnt that what Cindy Sheehan is really saying?

Don't they mean, " Let's let everyone run over us because we are wrong and America is the cause of all crimes in the World and it should be destroyed"?

Media circus? Probably not. They don't like to discuss what it was like to live under the Saddam regime. The rape rooms and people shredders didn't exist don't you know!
