Cindy Sheehan Rocks



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Listened to Cindy's interview earlier tonight on the Majority Report. She is very impressive...and knows exactly what she is doing. The sheriff has been harassing her group. Basically, Cindy said if they want to arrest her, they are going to have to carry her to their car. Given the huge press interest, that is going to make for some interesting tv.

The local paper, the Lone Star Iconoclast has Cindy Watch to provide extensive, up-to-the minute coverage (although the site is a tad slow from all the traffic.) This is the Crawford hometown paper that endorsed Kerry last year.

From the media coverage and listening to Cindy Sheehan, I really got the sense that this could be one of those seminal moments....From all the polls, it's clear the American people have had it with Bush and lies about Iraq. Now, there is someone with an amazingly compelling story who is giving a voice to the anger. She is willing to take a stand against George Bush. All she wants is for Bush to explain the "noble cause" for which her son died. Bush won't do it and he can't do it.

I just can't imagine what it must be like to be a parent or family member of someone who was sent to a war by a President who lied about it. Listening to Cindy Sheehan speak gives some insight in to the pain.

You can also follow her through the Gold Star For Peace web site.
