Anti-war protest in Idaho: "a Cindy Sheehan in every community"

BOISE, Idaho Iraq war opponents say President Bush shouldn't expect any respite from protest by going to a resort in red-state Idaho.

At a rally in Boise, one demonstrator declared, "He's going to find a Cindy Sheehan (SHEE'-han) in every community across the United States."

....

In Boise, demonstrators set up a memorial to the more than 18-hundred U-S troops who've died in Iraq -- rows of white wooden crosses in a park next to the Idaho state capital.

....

However, Melanie House, whose Navy husband was killed in Iraq in January, says Bush owes her and others an explanation of what the mission is in Iraq. She says, "I want to know why my husband had to die."

8. What a powerful statement. We need to get the MSM to realize

this important fact: Cindy is not the only grieving parent/loved one asking this question.

[me b zola]

20. That is the message

There are numerous Gold Star Mothers in Crawford.

There are numerous Gold Star Fathers, brothers, sisters, widows, widowers, sons & daughters in Crawford.

There are numerous military families who have loved ones who are serving in Iraq that are in Crawford.

There are Iraq war vets in Crawford.


All of the above mentioned stand with Cindy. They *ALL* want answers.




More over, there are numerous of the above mentioned through out the country who stand with Cindy & demand answers.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Let there be "Camp Caseys" in every state - just like "Hoovervilles"

during the Depression era.

:kick:

12. Wow! And Double Wow!

I don't know why I expected the Country to stay asleep forever..I'm sorry it had to come to this to wake up the People..but it seems there is a stirring Giant!

[tmooses]

15. We are everywhere, George. You cannot escape us like you escaped

Vietnam. The truth (a concept you have only a vague relationship with) is catching up to you. No safe haven- no safe states. The cries of those who have had their loved ones taken because of your lies will haunt you for the rest of your life.

16. I'm heading through Idaho on Wednesday

Do you guys know where he will be?

[Erika]

17. He'll be at Nampa for an 11:15 a.m. speech

to the Idaho National Guard and the bigwig Republicans.

The GOP completely, 100%, controlled all ticket releases.
One national guardsman wife said she can't get a ticket. Her husband is in Kirkuk.

[Erika]

18. There was also a protest at Donnelly outside the resort

It is a very small Republican town but still a crowd of 50 to 75 LOCALS showed up!

19. My family and friends will be joining Cindy in Washington!!

22. Go, Boise! What spirit! What clear-eyed vision! A sleeping Giant,

indeed! We were actually never asleep. I never tire of repeating this stat, which struck me like lightning in Feb. 2003: 58% of the American people opposed the Iraq war back THEN, *BEFORE* the invasion. Before all the lies were exposed; before the full horror and costs were known. Across the board in all polls. 58%!

No, not asleep! Disempowered! DISENFRANCHISED!

And, now, it's not that we're waking up; it's that we're finding our POWER, and, with it, we are going to get back our FRANCHISE and create a peaceful and just and democratic county once again! Yes, we are!

23. Just saw a local mom of 2 marines in Iraq on TV

She disagrees with Cindy completely. She also noted that she has not been given a ticket to Bush's speech. I guess the GOP bigwigs bumped her off from a space. She hasn't woken up to the truth yet.

[Burried News]

25. Boise is a Mormon majority community with a good sized Air Force

base nearby. This increases the significance of the protest.

26. Thank you Idaho!
