True Majority is fundraising for Gold Star Families!

Mothers of Fallen Soldiers Demand That Bush Level with Them
Help Pour on the Pressure by Supporting the Great Work of Gold Star Families for Peace


Cindy Sheehan is bravely demanding Bush explain why her son died fighting in Iraq. She shared her story at a TrueMajority-sponsored event in April:
"Mr. President...don't spill our country's precious lifeblood."


Her voice is powerful. Please contribute so more can hear it.


The tide is turning against support for the Iraq War. Now's the time to generate attention, and here's an important way to do it.


We've known from the beginning that America's attack on Iraq was unnecessary, ill-advised and just plain wrong. Finally, surveys show that the rest of America now agrees -- the latest polls show most citizens do not feel safer with the war in Iraq and most now agree we should get the troops back home within the year <1>. Now is the time to push that message home harder than ever.


The most effective spokespeople for bringing the troops home are the mothers, fathers and family members of soldiers killed in Iraq, who are demanding to know why President Bush sent their sons, daughters, husbands and wives off to die. Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey was killed last year in Sadr City, has drawn international media attention with her brave vigil outside Bush' ranch in Crawford, Texas <2>, on behalf of Gold Star Families for Peace. Our support will allow her to keep it up and help her group take the action to the next level.


Please contribute to help them do it.


President Bush plans visits around the country during his five-week vacation, hoping for friendly media coverage away from Washington. But a member of Gold Star Families for Peace can dog him wherever he goes, demanding he meet with them to explain why their family members are dead. Our media advisors tell us this will build more support for ending the Iraq quagmire.


If we can raise $50,000, we can keep members of military families on the president's trail throughout the summer. You can keep this story in the news and keep the tide in this country turning against this war.



This is a crucial moment. Let's seize it and hand a giant megaphone to our best voices for peace.


Please contribute to keep Gold Star Families pressuring President Bush.

In hope,

Duane Peterson
TrueMajority Coordinator
