"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."

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:

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

I didn't mean to imply that Al-sheehani is destitute or recieving food stamp and section 8 housing.

I'm sure she is sitting pretty right now, financially. Right now.

But as far as her having millions. I just don't think so. I know that she is the darling of the AFSC but believe me they do not pony up $30,000 per speaker. Also the Hawaiian vacations she scores every few months do have "value" she can not cash them for money. From what I know about the little churches she speaks at.............they just don't have that kinda money to shell out for an engagement in a venue that only seats 150 to 200 people. Add in the people on the lawn listening on the PA system and you still are talking only 500.

Yes A list celebs get $30,000 and more. But I just don't think she is A list. Well, let's say she is with people like the DUmp, the Kos kids and they're ilk. As you pointed out, they can't afford her. She will be speaking at their events within the year. For free probably.

As as you so sweetly put it, maybe I don't know what I am talking about. I still don't think she is a millionaire. Even once.
