Folks, we did it. By getting the attention on the fact that Cindy Sheehan
was threatened with arrest, we were able to keep them from carrying through with it.

This isn't just DU's efforts, it's Randi Rhodes, Ed Schultz, Al Franken, Jerry Springer (I think), Bill Press, and all the others.

Shining a spotlight on her caused the Fascisti to back down from what they thought would be a tank rolling over Cindy Sheehan (like the student in the famous Tiedeman Square footage).

Now, we must keep her in the spotlight - who knows who might just appear in the middle of the night - another "Elian Gonzalez" moment - only without the National Media Public Outcry, since it didn't happen with a Dem President?

1. You're right. They can't come gunning for us in the light of day
...at least not while there are indie press cameras there...

2. This is one reason why "The Crawford
Coward won't meet with Cindy..

"Two White House officials eventually did meet with her in a meeting that Washington says lasted 45 minutes. But Sheehan -- who says she "very appreciated" the meeting which lasted, by her count, 20 minutes -- calls the meeting "pointless."

"George Bush is the one I want to talk to," she says.

"Sheehan admits she doesn't expect to actually meet with Bush, but says if she did, she would ask him whether he would encourage his twin daughters to enlist."
