A coalition of far-Left organizations that includes avowed “revolutionary communists,” Islamists, marriage-abolitionists, and cop-killer advocates has launched a crusade against the U.S. military – and San Francisco school children could get caught in the crossfire. An organization known as “College Not Combat” seeks to place a resolution before Bay City voters on the November ballot, declaring “that the people of San Francisco oppose U.S. military recruiters using public school, college and university facilities to recruit young people into the armed forces.” The non-binding measure would encourage the city’s high schools to deny military recruiters access to their student directories, from...

Nationwide STUDENT STRIKE!!! Reply-To: codepinkaustin@yahoogroups.com START SPREADING THE WORD!!!!! UT CodePink will have a great campaign to jump in on as they get started!---Backed by Noam Chomsky and more than 100 other professors so far... [a fabulous guy in OR, Brian D. Bogart, has called] for a student strike on Sept. 26.....nicely coordinated with the D.C. action so students can have more leeway to BE in DC that weekend. The brainchild of this effort puts this in line with Cindy's efforts, but seeks to begin to transfer the focus "from Texas to the nation's 300-plus Pentagon-dependent universities." (see bottom--and I'm...

CRAWFORD - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan abruptly left her vigil near President Bush's ranch Thursday, saying she needed to be with her ailing mother in California. "We just had a terrible call," Sheehan told reporters at Camp Casey, the roadside peace protest where she has been waiting 12 days in hopes of meeting with Bush. "My mom had a stroke." It was unclear how Sheehan's departure would affect the protest, which has drawn dozens of supporters, counter-protesters and international attention to a dappled patch of roadside leading to the president's private retreat. Sheehan, who had vowed to remain in Crawford...

FReepers of the DC Chapter, reinforced by other patriots, FReeped a Moveon.org event at the White House and nearby Lafayette Park. Moveon had planned candlelight vigils across the nation to support Cindy Sheehan's demand that President Bush meet with her again, although many of the supporters don't even realize that he did meet with her already. By actually daring to present an opposing viewpoint, we successfully prevented the Moron.org people from getting a completely free ride in the media. At one stage, a leftist was so belligerent that a police officer ordered him away. Our focus was on supporting the...

BISBEE - More than 50 people Wednesday night ignored the steady rain in their candlelight vigil that was held at Grassy Park to support Cindy Sheehan. Sheehan is a mother who lost a son in Iraq, and she has been camped out near President George Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch in hopes she will get to speak to him again. Valerie Stephens, one of the organizers of the vigil, said it was held to support Sheehan. "We need to make people aware of this incredibly brave person, a grieving mother who has finally managed to focus interest on what is happening...

I was thinking, a dangerous past time for me. But doesn't seem to be ok to kill children getting candy from a US troop? Doesn't it seem ok to blow up car bombs and kill innocent civilians in Iraq? Doesn't seem ok to threaten thousands of voters who want a better country in Iraq? Doesn't seem ok for Syria, Iran, and others to support killing in Iraq? I mean the calls for violence done by the "insurgents" in Iraq are nil from MoveOn.org, Code Pink, Democracy for America, and all those groups. So I guess it ok to kill if...

Y’all might want to watch your local / national 10 and 11 pm news for tonight’s FReep in front of the White House. (Mod – please allow this to stay in “Breaking News” for an hour or so.) Kristinn just called as they were wrapping up. Here is his phoned-in report: There were about 300 of “them” and 18 of “us.” We started out in front of the Andrew Jackson statue facing H Street, but the Park Police sent us on our way because we did not have a permit. We moved to in front of the White House on...

For the eleventh week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  In the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve the desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest. The highlights tonight included one of the male eunuchs of the Pinkos being pulled back by Pinko women when he strayed to another corner. More...

Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France bicycle race, was quoted as decrying funding for Operation Iraqi Freedom, saying the money would be better spent on his “bicycles for peace” initiative. The quote has been posted on the website of Code Pink, an antiwar organization. “If the Iraqi insurgents had bicycles they wouldn’t be so hostile,” said Armstrong. “Cycling would give them a wholesome and healthy outlet for their energy. Look what it’s done for me!” The Armstrong posting is part of Code Pink’s “One Million Reasons,” an online petition drive asking people to state their reasons for...

SNIP "We've had slogans like, 'No Blood for Oil,' and 'Bring the Troops Home Now,' but this is a real flesh-and-blood story," said Jodie Evans, a co-founder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, which has led many of the anti-war movement's guerrilla tactics and organized meetings of Iraqi and American citizens. "What works is that it is focused. It is one person's loss versus another person who caused that loss. "Geez, she's a mom who's lost a child," said Evans, who teared up at Camp Casey this week as she recalled her own 2-year-old daughter dying 20 years ago. "Who...

Misguided Mom By Jennifer King August 12, 2005 The mainstream media has gone bonkers over Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who lost her son last year in Iraq. According to a recent Sheehan blog, she is to be featured in People, Time, Vanity Fair and Oprah's magazine. The New York Times and it's Left Coast ideological bedmate the Los Angeles Times have run breathless feature articles. Cindy's story even made the AP, ensuring predictable nationwide coverage in local newspapers. The story is irresistible - the heartbroken mother who is determined to meet with President Bush, to find out if her...

E-mail Author Author Archive Send to a Friend Version August 11, 2005, 6:11 p.m. Without Internet, U.S. Would Be a "Fascist State" Crawford protester Cindy Sheehan talks with her blog supporters. Cindy Sheehan, the woman whose soldier son was killed in Iraq and who is now camping by a road in Crawford, Texas demanding a meeting with President Bush, on Wednesday thanked a group of antiwar bloggers for supporting her, saying that without the Internet, America would be a "fascist state." "This is something that can't be ignored," Sheehan said during a conference call with bloggers representing sites like...

Cindy Sheehan wants to meet President Bush. But, if you haven't heard about Sheehan's story yet, she wants him to tell him about the loss of her son, Spc. Casey Sheehan, in fighting in Iraq in April 2004. She also wants to make him aware of the suffering the war has brought. She's made a point of talking to him publicly so she has started a protest outside his Crawford, Texas, ranch. She says she won't leave until he's talked to her. So far, he hasn't. The president's national security adviser talked with her on Saturday, but she persisted that...

Anti-war activists are asking San Francisco radio station KMEL-FM to remove the U.S. Navy as a sponsor of the annual Summer Jam concert in Mountain View, saying the station is "using hip-hop to promote the military to young people of color." The high-profile event, set for Aug. 21, usually sells out the 20,000- capacity Shoreline Amphitheatre. San Francisco's Global Exchange, the group Code Pink: Women for Peace and two dozen other organizations are leading a protest at noon today in front of the San Francisco offices of Clear Channel, which owns KMEL and nine other Bay Area stations. In the...

I know you all agree with me that what Cindy Sheehan is doing in Crawford, Texas is heroic and important. I met Cindy a couple of months ago when she testified at the hearing I called on the Downing Street Minutes. Later that day, she helped me deliver your signatures to the White House demanding answers from the President about his pre-war deceptions. I want to share with you what struck me about that day, and is even more relevant now. I also want to ask you for your help. It is not that hard for an elected official to...

Sean Penn’s account of his recent trip to postwar Iraq – written in two articles published in the San Francisco Chronicle – reveals the deep changes that have taken place in liberated Iraq, and the shallow man who observed them. A more generous soul might have considered apologizing for the unkind words directed at President Bush and his counselors who are responsible for the freedoms that Penn now acknowledges are burgeoning in Iraq, yet Penn cannot bring himself to praise the Americans who brought this about, acknowledge his role in opposing Operation Iraqi Liberation, or, indeed, rise above the pettiest concerns...
