Sheehan Draws Tears of Support (Z Magazine)

When Robert DeLozier saw the story of Cindy Sheehan on television Sunday, he told his spouse right away: "I'm going up there. We have to drop everything and go." At the Sam's Club of all places, says Robert, he nearly broke down crying while he was shopping Monday morning thinking about what Sheehan was doing in memory of her son Casey, who was killed in Iraq last April.

"She's a strong woman," says Robert via cell phone as he drives back home Monday night. "She feels she has been wronged. She feels her son has been wronged. And she feels like this whole occupation of Iraq is wrong. She is strong and powerful enough to take a stand. When I see it, it just strikes a chord. She's speaking truth to power. That's it. David and Goliath."

"It's very moving being out there," says Abbe. "I'm so glad I went." She's going to clear her schedule and go back soon. "I'm very emotional, very glad. If I could communicate to you what it's like to be there. If people could see it and experience it, well then number one..." But Abbe can't finish the sentence. "I can't finish the sentence, because I'm crying."

"Let me just say," says Abbe Waldman DeLozier through her tears, "that there would be millions out there. Millions."
