The ?You Don?t Speak for Me, Cindy? Tour continues to grow in momentum with supporters gathering at their final California stop on Wednesday and making two stops in Arizona ? in Phoenix and Yuma.
Move America Forward has organized the tour to bring military families together to express the fact that they DO support the troops AND the mission they are serving in Iraq.
The tour is led by Deborah Johns, Co-Founder of Northern California Marine Moms. Johns? son, William, has served two tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom and is likely to serve a third tour.
Yesterday, Ms. Johns was contacted by a representative of the Sheehan family who expressed gratitude for Ms. Johns leadership in the ?You Don?t Speak for Me, Cindy? Tour. Previously, Move America Forward Chairman, Melanie Morgan, was contacted by other Sheehan family members who articulated the same message: Cindy Sheehan does NOT speak for them.
Additionally, Move America Forward will begin airing a new television commercial nationwide on the Fox News Channel that urges Americans to join the ?You Don?t Speak for Me, Cindy? tour and August 27th pro-troop rally in Crawford, Texas.
?Cindy Sheehan has a right to free speech ? even if she chooses to use that right to undermine the mission her son, Casey, heroically served in. But, the vast majority of military families find Ms. Sheehan?s conduct abhorrent. Now is the time to hear from these families, because Cindy Sheehan doesn?t speak for them,? said Melanie Morgan, Co-Chairman of Move America Forward.
