Move America Forward will be conducting the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” caravan beginning next week. It will feature military family members who have loved ones serving in the war against terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan. The delegation will be led by Deborah Johns of Marine Moms. (Her son has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom).
Main caravan leaves from San Francisco, California on Monday, August 22nd. Other caravans will depart from around the country. If you want to be part of a caravan, email us with your name and location you will depart from and we will include in our caravan coverage so people in your area can depart with you.
Everyone arrives in Crawford, Texas for a giant “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission” Rally on Saturday, August 27, 2005.
If you have a loved one serving in Iraq or Afghanistan and would like to join the caravan please contact Move America Forward’s Robert Dixon: Robert@MoveAmericaForward.org
Am I in before the zot?
I woke up this morning to the news that hundreds of people were in a vigil last night - supporting sheehan - and saying President Bush is a war criminal.
I felt very saddened by this -- and thought - they're trying to re-create the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era.
Only problem for them is this: it's a different world now -- the MSM is not the only voice. Thank God! That's why standing up like this Caravan is doing - and all those other people in our country voicing support of the President and the Troops and the War on Terror, will keep this anti-war pinkos from being successful.
Hey, I live about an hour from San Francisco -- are there going to be any people "seeing the caravan" off in S.F.? I'd like to hear about it, if there are a group of people doing that. Let me know: bethtopaz@yahoo.com
Thanks for the ping!

So many confuse Natiuonalism with Patriotism. What I see at this site is blatant, single minded Nationalism. I served during the Vietnam war, I support the rational use of force, I support honesty and integrity, and I support all of our troops. However, support of the troops should not be confused with support for the war in Iraq, or support for the policy that placed us in this war.
There has been no demonstrataion of a nexus between terrorism and this war - the degree of terrorist activity in Iraq is the result of our being there; i.e., the terrorism wasn't there prior. And please, don't say that I a support Saddam Hussein or his regime - it was horrible, but there are also many other horrible regimes throughout the world, and we don't take unilateral and unprovoked action against them. We should not have gone to Iraq, and now that we are there and the stated reason for doing so has been shown to be false, we should withdraw as soon as possible.
Will there be chaos in Iraq? Sure, but probably no worse than it is now. The administration reports that the insurgency is not representative of the Iraqis, and that almost all Iraqis are on the side of democracy. If this is, then our withdrawal will not have a great effect on their progress. What a withdrawal will do is spare other people from having their children put in harms way, when such is not necessary.
We are not protecting our country from terrorism by being there, and I would say that we are honoring our troops by taking all necessary action to withdraw them from a war based on bogus reasons, rather than stubbornly staying there as an act of Nationalism (i.e., our country, right or wrong).
