I think you are right about that...........The places where she is speaking are not the ones with the fat back accounts. And you can bet she is the Code Pink number one gravy train right now. I don't think there is much money left over. The $30,000 per speaking engagement is probably a fantasy amount.

She gets the Hawaiian vacation et all but Micheal Moore (the only blog that will post her screed) and Code Pink are probably making sure there isn't too much mooolah left over.

You don't know what you are talking about.

$30,000 is not a high fee for an A List speaker, and Mother Sheehan is a hot commodity in leftwing circles.

Hell, even tiny state university ponied up $11,000 for her to speak:

Even Kos couldn't afford her for their convention, and had to try to get some eBayer to pay for her to speak for them:

Buy A Date With Cindy Sheehan On Ebay | Sweetness & Light

If you think she isn't making a fortune off of this (and that isn't part of her motivation) you are misinformed.

There was a fund raiser at the Grand Lake Theater where the causes were Code Pink, Global Exchange and Cindy. The first two are both Medea Benjamin groups, so I get the split went $2 for Medea, $1 for Cindy, $2 for Medea, $1 for Cindy...if she were lucky.
