Cindy To Los Angeles
http://crawfordupdate.blogspot.com

We got word a few hours ago that Cindy's mother had a stroke. We dont' know how serious the stroke is and cannot tell you whether she is in stable condition or not. Cindy and her sister left a hour ago to take a plane to LA from Waco. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her immediate family.

We are still here. Over 300 people are on the grounds right now. Over 200 mothers are marching right now. Its Thursday. We will have thousands here by Saturday. We need your help in sending this message to President Bush: Get out sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, neighbors and schoolteachers, husbands and wives out of Iraq.

This stand will continue. The Iraq Veterans Against the War are still here. The Veterans for Peace are still here. Military Families Speak Out are all still here. Goldstar Families, founded by Cindy and her sister, are still here. And you're still here. Come to Crawford. Stand with us.

It is important that people still go if they can. We need to keep the pressure on. Bush has to tell all of us what this "noble cause" is. He needs to explain why he sent so many people from all over the world into harm's way. Both Spain and England have paid on their own soil for lies this "man" has told. He needs to be held accountable. They all do.

3. Okay, folks
we need to get this on the greatest page. It needs exposure. We need to start getting prepared.

I nominated but we need three more.

10. Absolutely

My heart goes out to Cindy and her family.

13. Cindy was the catalyst, the movement is continuing
This was started by 1 mother holding Mr.bush accountable for the lies he told to get the USA to invade/occupy Iraq, asking him to account for those lies, asking what "nobel cause" it was her son died for. Many people have felt alone and afraid, wondering what they, as an individual, could possibly do. Cindy has been the catalyst to bring us together as a growing group to hold Mr.bush accountable. The movement is on and will continue.

I will be there in 5 days, one more middle aged mom, asking Mr.bush "why" and letting people know they are not alone and need not be afraid.
