2. I'll bet it was poignant!

Thank you, Cindy Sheehan, for standing up for your son..what a mom to be proud of. O8)

Edit~ Can you tell us anything she said?:)

[funkybutt]

3. She said that...

she's not on a mission to remove Bush from office. She said she's on a mission to return these troops to their mothers. She said, "impeachment is too good for that Son of a bitch!"

She said she works 14 or so hours a day at this.

She said that the most important activity right now for "peace activists " is counter recruitment.

She read us that wonderful poem by her daughter, Carly and that that poem saved her life.

4. I haven't seen or heard of the

"poem"..now I'm all choked up.

Cindy's right.."Impeachment is too good for that son of a BITCH"..and she has bigger things to do.

The Best Of Luck to Cindy Sheehan and everyone working on "counter recruitment".

13. Damn, that is one great poem

This nation is waking up from its "sleep" and hopefully we can drive these fascists from office and destroy the Republican party that allowed them to seize power.

15. Oh, thanks, now I'm crying! (n/t)

I really am crying.

But its not your fault.

Thanks for the post.

I got involved in the antiwar effort shortly after I was blessed with my daughter. The thought of her being 'cannonfodder' just brings me to tears.

My daughter is not going to die fighting a war for a Booosh - I will fight with everything I have for it not to be so.

[funkybutt]

16. How can you not cry?

It's an amazing poem and to hear Cindy recite it really moved me to a place I can't say I've been before. It broke my heart. Please pass the poem along. We've got a nation to wake.

[Maat]

17. Exactly! (n/t)

8. Thank You Funkybutt for being there

We appreciate your reporting. I must agree with Cindy, Impeachment is too good for him.

9. Where did you hear her speak? Is she on a speaking tour?

If so, I'd love to hear her message. What a brave woman.

[funkybutt]

10. I heard her speak at the Blue Nile in New Orleans on Frenchman

She was the "keynote" speaker at an anti-war march/event.

Here's some info.

12. Thank you funky for this post,

it's the first time I've read the poem her daughter wrote. :cry:

She's a brave & wonderful woman/mother.

14. She was upset with Dean.

She says he's backed away from his anti-war stance. She heard him speak recently and she noted that he didn't even bring up Iraq until the very end. Then all he said about it was that our troops should have the equipment that they need! WTF is that?

She said she tried to confront him about it but he was moving very fast and was surrounded by a lot of people.
