Cindy Sheehan said she will be part of the live audience during the president's State of the Union speech to congress Tuesday.
Bay Area Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave anti-war activist a gallery pass late Tuesday, just hours before the planned State of the Union speech. Sheehan was in Washington to protest the president during his national address, but then came word she was invited to see the speech live.
A spokesman for Sheehan says she decided to accept the invitation two hours prior to the speech. The spokesman also said that Sheehan will be respectful and listen to the address because she is a guest of a member of congress.
Sheehan is expected to fly back to Berkeley Wednesday. She announced over the weekend that she is considering running for Senate against Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Wrong , she's being USED to make a scene. Thats what they want. ANY opportunity to disgrace Bush is too much of an opportunity to pass by . She'll do something stupid for sure. Just look at what she's been about all along. She spent MONTHS trying to see Bush again to tell him off and blow up . Now , she's there at the address tonight . She'll pick a quiet moment .When Bush mentions the war she will go off .NO FRIGGIN WAY should they let her in .It will make world wide headlines and make us all look like fools.
Wow, take a chill pill.
Sheehan's presence will give cover to Code Pink, which probably will try to make a scene.
How do you say "Soros?"
MYOB
LOL, the Republicans couldn't BUY better publicity. Everyone will know that she was given a ticket by the democrats, and after her little foray to kiss up to Chavez she's going to be radioactive to the great middle America.
The Democrats are loose cannons and allowed in.
Frankly, I'd love to have her start ranting about the president being worse than Osama and spouting off against Israel. I want Americans, that haven't already, to admit to themselves they aren't supporting JFK, Truman, or FDR. They are supporting Cindy when they vote Democrat. Time to make them face their consciences.
I mean, sure, people can be upset or Angry but what do you expect from Democrats? I'm looking at it as an opportunity akin to seating Michael Moore by Jimmy Carter.
They better give her a very thorough pat-down search before letting her in the gallery!
Bad move , half of the uninformed idiot masses in the US will be on her side..Lots of leftist Dems out there hoping she disrupts OUR president . KEEP HER OUT AT ALL COST..I cant believe this .
Do you have Woosley's address? I want to give her a piece of my mind.
Been wondering about that myself.....
I hope she doesn't upset her campaign hopes - I still want to see her and Feiny duke it out!
"Security risk"
Hugo Chavez probabably planted a weapon in one of her cavities.
Where's Jack Bauer whne you need him?
Memorizing the Dem talking points again?
I am surprised she has not followed the President around the country doing this already at each speech.
Woolsey has proposed,
The SMART bill has five sections, aimed at creating a security strategy that
(1) prevents future acts of terrorism by strengthening international institutions and respect for the rule of law;
(2) reduces the threat and stops the spread of weapons of mass destruction and reduces the proliferation of conventional weapons;
(3) addresses root causes of terrorism and violent conflict;
(4) shifts United States budget priorities to more effectively meet the security needs of the United States; and
(5) pursues to the fullest extent alternatives to war
Woolsey is launching a new website this week at http://woolseyforpeace.org The purpose of the site is to raise funds for her reelection campaign.
Lynn Woolsey voted against the Iraq war. She also
-- Led 15 Members of Congress in writing a letter to President Bush on Jan. 12, 2005, calling for the troops to be brought home.
-- Was the first Member of Congress to call for U.S. troops to return from Iraq, when she introduced H.Con.Res. 35 on Jan. 26, 2005.
-- Led the first debate on troop withdrawal on the House floor on May 25, 2005, introducing an amendment that garnered 128 votes, including 5 Republican votes.
-- In June, was an original co-sponsor of H.J.Res. 55, the first legislation to set a timeline on troop withdrawal from Iraq.

-- Traveled to Iraq in October as part of a Congressional delegation to meet with U.S. Armed Forces.
-- Wrote a letter to President Bush on Nov. 10, 2005, signed by 61 Congress Members, requesting a change in U.S. policy in Iraq.

-- Signed on this month as a co-sponsor of Congressman John Conyers' bills to censure Bush and Cheney and to create a select committee to investigate grounds for impeachment.
If Sheehan and ChiFi split the liberal vote, some Republican could pick up the Senate seat out there in Callyfornia.
