Cindy Sheehan, antiwar activist and mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, has written a letter honoring the 2000th death of a US soldier in the Arab country and calling for civil disobedience so there will be no more.
Sheehan said she will lay down each day at the White House and ask President Bush for "What Noble Cause?" he is asking staggering numbers of young US men and women and Iraqis to die.
She answers the question herself that there is no noble cause, they are suffering for "power and money greedy criminals." Sheehan then calls on her fellow citizens to no longer "allow the people who are running our country to keep on running it into the ground."
In addition to the wasted young lives in Iraq, 246 of our brave men and women have been killed in Afghanistan. Our troops and the war in Afghanistan get even less attention than Iraq, if possible.
It's time to start practicing civil disobedience (C.D.) on a large scale. On Tuesday the 25th we will be fasting for the length of the vigil in solidarity with the hardships that Americans and Iraqis are enduring on a daily basis. We are asking America to fast in solidarity with us.

Hey Shindy, did Michael Moore get the memo? It might just get him over the dieter's plateau.
Hope there's enough money left for a face lift.
