You Don?t Speak for Me, Cindy

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.

George W- the Great Unifier! The man could have met with her the first week and there would have been no story! Now Rove has to activate the 'machine', to stir up more rhetoric, just to try to get some good soundbites. Meanwhile, every day our troops flounder in the Iraqi deserts, more good kids die for nothing!

Yeah, you are right Lawrence! Heaven forbid- 20 or 30 minutes a year twice to a group of bereaved parents and family members! What an imposition! Might have to cut a half day of chopping wood, playing golf or playing with himself out down on the ranch! You Bush supporters have no shame in your game whatsoever!

Where are the Democratic Party's elite, the Clintons, Biden, Kerry, Bayh and Howard Dean, why aren't they in Crawford supporting Cindy? Will they ever show up, if not why?
 
Clinton's in Africa right now trying to help the children Aids epidemic.

That's a bit different than taking August off in Crawford annually and ignoring PDB's.dog1

So, which part of my post is hard to believe? The part where Bush cannot take a half hour out of his vacation to talk to a woman again after she has lost her son in a war this President conjures up onsmoke, magic and lies? Or can you not believe he is playing with himself, down on the ranch? What is so hard with meeting with all 1800 plus families on a regular basis to update the bereaved on how futile their losses are!

answer this...why should he meet with her twice?

Because her son died in his war to put money in his and his buddies' pockets! You would think that our President would be able to make time at least once a month to meet with bereaved families and update them on why their kids died! Of course, this would be subject to Karl Rove's approval!

Because she said so, it's that simple. She shouldn't expect to see a Prez (any Prez) after the words she said about him and his family.

and what if she's not satisfied with that 2nd meeting?...should he just keep meeting with her every day untill she is satisfied...?...perhaps he should offer her a cabinet position so she can be in on all the daily briefings as well....

In fact, there should be a law or a constitutional amendment requiring all Presidents to meet with bereaved families for at least an hour a month to explain how or why these bravest of citizens could have been saved and what they are doing to stop any more from dying for nothing! In this Presidents' case, someone could always show him how to Tivo his SpongeBob Squarepants!

What's the difference? You guys never listen to anything we on the other side say anyhow. We think we are correct and you guys think likewise. It's just a big ole merry-go-round, nothing ever changes. We call Bush an idiot and you guys blame Bill and Hillary-what's the difference? Good Luck Little Bo Peeps!

Rev. Al will join peace mom

WASHINGTON - Peace mom Cindy Sheehan has reinforcements on the way - the Rev. Al Sharpton said he'll join her Sunday for a multidenominational prayer vigil near President Bush's Texas ranch.

"She and the other families there have taken a great moral stand that has nothing to do with partisan politics," Sharpton said. "It has everything to do with the good of the country."

Crawford Texas - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now purportedly "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring home immediately American troops serving in Iraq.

"When I get up [to heaven], he's gonna say, 'Good job, mom,'" the California woman said in a speech last night upon her return to Crawford, Texas. "He's not going to say, 'Why'd you make me spin in my grave?' you know. And I can just hear him saying, 'George Bush, you are really an idiot. You didn't know what you were doing when you killed me. You didn't know what you were getting into.'"

Ms. Sheehan is again speaking out:


"I don't care if a human being is black, brown, white, yellow or pink. I don't care if a human being is Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or pagan. I don't care what flag a person salutes: if a human being is hungry, then it is up to another human being to feed him/her. George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power. The only way America will become more secure is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest." --Cindy Sheehan

That sounds like something from the Onion. I'm a bit concerned for her safety...she may soon try to pull a Rachel Corrie and take one for the team.

Me too, or a mis-speak but it is from her blog section on Michael Moore's website. She wrote it or Moore is screwing around.
