Sheenan solidarity vigil, Boston Sat, Aug 13th.
Received by email.

Vigil This Saturday to show Solidarity with Cindy Sheehan
THIS MAY BE THE TIPPING POINT!

Dear Friends, Please join us!

THIS SATURDAY AUGUST 13th, 6:00-8:30 pm, PARK STREET STATION

There will be a vigil at the Park Street Station at 6:00 pm this Saturday to support Cindy Sheehan. Most of us cannot imagine what it must feel like to lose a son. Out of respect for Cindy and the Gold Star families we will be dressed in black. After sunset we will surround the Frog Pond holding candles. The reflection of their flames will honor all those who have lost their lives or been wounded in this illegal war.

PLEASE COME! WEAR BLACK, BRING CANDLES!

Let us know if you can come, and how many people you will be bringing!

Please Spread the Word!

Cindy is the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, killed in action at Sadr City on April 4, 2004. She is a co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace. Cindy is at the gates of Bush's ranch in Crawford Texas to demand that he explain to her -face to face- why Casey had to die. Bush is refusing to come out. Cindy says she's staying until Bush talks to her or leaves Texas. Each day she has been joined by a growing number of people. Goldstar families (families who have lost someone in Iraq) from all over the US are on their way to Crawford.

Military Families Speak Out and United for Peace and Justice have called for vigils all around the country to demand that the president talk with Cindy and the other Gold Star parents.

2. I will try to be there.
I wonder if anyone knows what address checks can be sent to in order to support Cindy in her vigil. I can't go to Crawfrd, but I would love to support this brave woman.

Thanks!

4. Try the Crawford Peace House
They are providing a lot of support for Cindy's vigil.

Or you could try Gold Star Families For Peace, the organization she helped found.
