Holy Crappolla Batman! Cindy Sheehan is still a topic?
Seriously though, since this woman obviously has no real productive vocation who is paying for her to get Freep'ed all over the country?
God bless all you guys.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: Richmond Times Dispatch

War protesters rally in Richmond
They are part of national tour led by activist mother Cindy Sheehan

A lunchtime anti-war demonstration in downtown Richmond yesterday drew as many pro-war supporters as protesters.

About a dozen participants in the nationwide "Bring Them Home Now" tour stopped in front of the Virginia Army National Guard office at 304 W. Broad St.

The tour, with stops in more than 40 cities, is an effort to convince President Bush to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq.

Participants were met by a counter-protest of about a dozen people, who waved signs supporting Bush and the U.S. military presence in Iraq.

Michelle DeFord, an Oregon resident who has been with the tour since it left Texas, lost her son in Iraq on Sept. 25, 2004.

DeFord became active in the anti-war groups soon after her son's death.

"I know this is what he would have wanted me to do," she said. "I think his life was wasted . . . We need to go after the people who are responsible for 9/11, and some of them are in the White House."

Just a few feet away, Todd Vander Pol waved a sign supporting the war. So did his two sons, 9-year-old Harrison and 14-year-old Mitchell, and his wife, Jill.

"We feel strongly that the war needs to be finished, that the president is absolutely right in finishing the change of leadership for the Iraqi people," said Vander Pol, a Hanover County resident. "The president has been very supportive of others' rights to voice their opinion. Our opinion is that we support him."

Stay safe out there.

[Flora McDonald]

who is paying for her to get Freep'ed all over the country?

Halliburton signs my paycheck. I think Karl Rove signs hers.

[Flora McDonald]

justanobody brought the most awesome signs and has quite a story to tell. She has been working non-stop on FReeps both at home and abroad.

GottaLuvAkitas1 called in a local radio station and gave them the "right" side of the story. Superb job.

I just stood on the curb and bellowed every now and then. One line that consistently shut them up was:
AL QAEDA LOOOOOOOOOOOVES PEACE PROTESTERS!
another was
CINDY SAYS BRING THE TROOPS HOME...FROM NEW ORLEANS NOOOOOOOWWW!

[3IDVET]

Thank You for your courage, standing strong in ugly face of America's enemy... I send a big HOOAAHH out to all the Frprs involved in this Operation..
