Read about Lisa Fithian's fellow "co-chair" of UFPJ. Cindy Sheehan is in bed with some really loathsome anti-American radicals (not surprising since Cindy has expressed similar views):

"Leslie Cagan is the co-chair and principal leader of UFPJ. She was an original founder of the Committees of Correspondence, a splinter group rooted in the Communist Party USA. A strong supporter of Fidel Castro since the 1960s, Cagan is a committed socialist and longtime activist who proudly aligns her politics with those of Communist Cuba. Over the past three decades, she has mobilized millions of demonstrators in rallies denouncing America's foreign policies; its military-related spending; and its purportedly virulent racism, sexism, and homophobia."
