Cindy Sheehan Caravan Stopped by Capitol Police (Snicker Snicker!)
Village Voice ^ | 9/21/05

Posted on 09/21/2005 10:38:12 AM PDT by areafiftyone

Washington, D.C.—At just past noon on Wednesday, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the Bring Them Home Now tour were stopped by a pair of squad cars two blocks from the U.S. Capitol by members of the Capitol police force. Officers explained that they wanted to use bomb-sniffing dogs to inspect the caravan of three RVs and several cars.

The officers said it was standard practice to inspect large vehicles in the area. “RVs aren’t allowed on Capitol Hill,” one said. “That’s standard procedure. Any trucks that come on Capitol Hill are stopped and turned around.” Campers aren’t allowed at all, the officer said, “unless they’ve been previously authorized.”

Officers told the peace activists they couldn’t park at the Capitol because they don’t have the proper permits. Sheehan and company then began preparing to make the rest of the trek on foot. Awaiting them near the Capitol steps were a crowd of television cameras for a scheduled noon press conference.

Earlier this week in New York City’s Union Square park, police officers unplugged Sheehan’s microphone, saying she didn’t have a proper permit for that either.

People with Bring Them Home Now seemed unfazed. “It’s always something,” said Stacy Bannerman of Military Families Speak Out, whose husband spent a year fighting in the Sunni Triangle. “It’s just part of the deal.

The conference is being held by Sheehan and the others to announce their arrival in Washington and to kick off a weekend of resistance that is expected to include a march of 100,000 people and mass civil disobedience.

At 1:30 p.m., Sheehan and her allies plan to head to the White House, where they’ll attempt to give President Bush a letter asking him to answer the question, “What noble cause are our loved ones dying for?”

What noble cause are our loved ones dying for?

I doubt that the concept of "FREEDOM" will mean anything to these marxists.

Cindy and all the vehicles in her caravan are making us that much more oil dependent on places like Iraq.

I have but one thought every time I see her name or her 'caravan' in a headline -- "do these people have jobs??!"

Rosanne Rosannadanna agrees. It just goes to show you, it's always something.

"Who is supporting this witch?"

I think it was Michael Moore et al. Then Katrina happened and they found a new source of income, Katrina donations.

I must mean the other one, who played Shirley.

Penny Marshall has way to much pizzazz to be confused with Cindy Sheehan.

I'm waiting for her to claim that the Republicans are an "occupying force."

I don't think so. They apparently aren't responsible enough to plan a legal protest with all the permits and such. They are probably just competent enough to roll up a joint....and possibly a taco at Taco Bell.
