Cindy Sheehan to Shift Focus to Congress, Starting with Tom Delay

[CatWoman]

Have I told you guys how much I love this woman? :D

Cindy Sheehan announced today that she plans to focus her attention on Congress, starting with Bush’s buddy House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

One of DeLay’s Texas district offices would likely be the first stop, she said. That would be about a 5.5 hour drive from Bush’s ranch in Crawford, where he is on a month-long vacation.

“I think our first stop might be Tom DeLay’s office,” she said, surrounded by supporters. “I just wanted to let him know so he’ll be in his office when we get there.”

“The president is not going to meet with us, probably,” Sheehan said. “We the people need to influence our congressional representatives and I hear he’s pretty close by,” referring to DeLay.

As to be expected, “a spokeswoman for DeLay said his schedule was already set and did not plan to change it to meet with Sheehan.”

As Ron noted in a post below, the polls have dropped yet again for Bush…

I strongly urge Bush to continue to refuse meeting with Cindy Sheehan. For everyday that goes by, he shows America just how out of touch with reality he is.

2. I'm crossing my fingers that she

keeps attention focused on what a piece of manure DeLay is -- I want Nick Lampson (my former representative before the redistricting) to wipe the floor with him this next election. Lampson is an honorable guy & was doing a good job before they screwed him over, and the jerk that took his place, Ted Poe, is a joke. It does roll me to read letters to the editor in our local paper from republicans shocked that he voted for big business & wealthy people -- HELLO, what the hell did you expect?! I wish people would do a *little* research before they vote....

3. Rosa Parks, MLK, Gandhi

were also ignored and vilified by those who wished to maintain the status quo. They took their case to the "people" just like Cindy.

Evidently the arrogant W and DeLay are scared blankless of Sheehan. Guess what? She's not going away, nor are we.
