Write to Your Local Media and the Crawford-Area Papers

WRITE YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER IN SUPPORT OF CINDY SHEEHAN
Cindy Sheehan has waited a long time for answers from the President. Answers to questions about the Downing Street Minutes, about the real reasons for war in Iraq, and to what end was her son asked to sacrifice his life. Right now Mrs. Sheehan is staging a vigil outside the president's house on a sun-baked dusty road in Crawford, Texas waiting for Bush to talk to her and offer a real explanation for why we are in Iraq.

Cindy is prepared to wait as long as it takes for the President to meet with her. Write to your local papers expressing why you think Bush should meet with Cindy. Be sure to make specific reference to Cindy Sheehan in your comments themselves because this form transmits your personal message only.

Here is a fresh angle to look at the Cindy Sheehan stand-off with George W. Bush: He chose to invade a country and was not able to persuade his own nation that this was the right thing to do (as witnessed by the 64% disapproval rate for his conduct -- the surest sign of coerced participation in a scheme is the prompt souring that follows any mishap in its execution).

As such, he is now duty-bound to answer every parent that sent and lost a child in his war. I do not care how many times they request his "audience" (why do his minions call it that? is he a king? ), he owes them his every waking moment. His vacationing for five solid weeks is grotesque in the extreme. Weepy demeanors at faux press meets in scenic settings are not indicators of his remorse or empathy, nor are parents looking for these childish displays.

They are serious people asking serious questions about, and needing thoughtful responses to, deadly serious issues.

George W. Bush: you can run, but you cannot hide. Now, where have we heard that before?
