3. Message from Brad to DU

Odie from Pacifica. Brad found him on the road with all his equipment looking for someone who wanted to do a show...

Mentioned DU. Told us a real live elected representative is down here supporting Cindy. So those who say there are no mothers, fathers or vet and elected reps supporting her, it's an illusion.

4. We are fair but not balanced.

We are fair but not balanced. As Bradshow listeners know, balance is baloney meant to keep the bad guys looking good.

Congressman explaining how some legislators have supported the peace movement. One million phone calls to US Senate on that day so many Americans called their senators and reps to speak out against the war. He heard the phones ring off the hook that day.

He thinks Dems in trouble for not listening to groundswell aginst this war and militarism. Too much at stake not to take a stand...Brad says rightwing tries to use this as being weak on terror...(amazing beautiful gospel music aca pella harmonizing in the background as he speaks...wow).

5. Singing: I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Tears.

[SaveAmerica]

27. Gen, did they say who sang that? She sounded so beautiful but

my connection broke up before it ended. She reminded me of the country singer with long straight back hair (now greying) who sometimes sings peace songs and was in the trio with Dolly Parton a few years back.

[Generic Other]

6. You GW Bush, Support the troops because you're not

They are discussing the cutting of VA hospitals. We have to get the m,essage out.

Rightwing has a lot of money...donate to blogs who have been working so hard to get the message out...lots of Dems not being brave and keeping up the fight like Cindy Sheehan...

Former Congressman Tom Anders, Maine says time to fight the fight... winwithoutwar.org

Trying to keep Camp Casey live all day and night long...

7. Interfaith service with Sharpton.

Interfaith service with Sharpton. A buddhist, an Iman, a rabbi, a Protestant minister, a Catholic priest...

Brad asks about people saying Cindy anti-Jewish. Rabbi Schulman says if being against Israeli policies means one is anti-Jewish, many in Isarael are on her side. Not antisemitic. Faulty equation. Like labelling those against war as siding with terrorists...Cindy' message not about Israel or Jews, other collateral messages...her basic message: Why did my son die? This is the question.

[SaveAmerica]

30. I'd say there's a joke in there somewhere if I weren't so choked up

about Martin Sheen and what he said about Casey's belongings that had 11 rosaries in them.

8. Veteran Thomas Young

5 different radio networks getting word out from Camp Casey.

25 year old disabled vet, Army Iraq injured on same day as Casey. Same division. In a wheelchair. He and his wife at Camp Casey on honeymoon. Got hurt when sent on scenic route through Sadr City. No armor or cover.

Truck overheated as they attempted to flee, so they hijacked an Iraqi bus to bring back wounded to base. Field hosp. in Quwait. He had surgery shrapnel in three or four places...lost legs...paralyzed from chest down...canvas covered truck when they drove through Sadr City.
