SACRAMENTO -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan said Saturday that America will get out of Iraq when millions of citizens take the simple step she did outside President Bush's vacation home last summer.
She sat down.
With Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn in the front row, Sheehan told a Sacramento peace rally that critics of the war need to do more than listen to speeches like hers.
"You have to wash the blood off your hands and get off your apathetic butts and do something," she told several hundred people crowding a union hall to overflowing. "These people, they're not going to change unless they see us out in the streets."
The two-hour town hall-style forum was one of what organizers said were 200 such events across the nation Saturday.
Sheehan, who recently moved from Vacaville to Berkeley, became known as the "Peace Mom" after she attracted hundreds of anti-war protesters to a makeshift camp near Bush's ranch. She was protesting the death in Iraq of her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, and seeking to meet with Bush.
"Anybody could do what we did in Crawford, Texas. We just went down and sat down," Sheehan said. "We have to get so freakin' fed up with what's going on that we all go and sit down."
Penn said he is buoyed by recent efforts in Congress to rein in the president's powers and bring troops home, and by the outraged response to disclosures the government is listening to citizens' private communications without obtaining warrants.

Cindy who? What's a Sean Pen?
"These people, they're not going to change unless they see us out in the streets."
Ooooooh, hope I'm driving the D-9 that day!
So the moonbat's saying that the cure for being apathetic and "sitting on your butt" is to... sit on your butt.
"You have to wash the blood off your hands and get off your apathetic butts and do something," she told several hundred people crowding a union hall to overflowing.
Way to charm people, Cin!
I wonder how many books she sold.
SHe couldn't even draw a crowd in socialist Spain. She is a pathetic creature that needs to go home, now.

Cindy Sheehan+union hall
I have a special room in my house where I sit and think of Sean Penn and Cindy Sheehan, unless I'm reading the sports pages.
Sounds like a plan... go sit in the corner, idiot! BTW, is this the kickoff to the peace tour we were promised with Jane Fonda and the corn oil powered bus?
F.A.G.
The crowd, which, at the high point, numbered as many as 43, was in rapt awe of these two shining stars of the peace movement.
And while you are at it, hit the Freepathon with some $$
It don't hurt much, and you get a good feeling keeping the lights on.
bwahhhhh!

Dang! If they had announced it sooner, perhaps we would have had a few hundred PROTESTERS there to meet her.
With a special guest appearance by Matthew Quigley?
