Candle Light Vigils for Cindy Sheehan in Massachusetts
TrueMajority and MoveOn seem to be working together on this.




Caring People Coming Together Nationwide to Support Cindy

Join a Vigil in Your Community


The movement to bring the troops home has a new, powerful voice
in Cindy Sheehan. She's the mother of Army Specialist Casey
Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq, and her vigil outside President
Bush's ranch has become an international symbol for the effort
to end the war. This week, let's show the world that there's a
huge number of people across America who want this war ended.
Here's how you can keep the momentum building!

Cindy has asked supporters to start candlelight vigils in their
communities to remind people of the terrible price of war.
TrueMajorityACTION and Democracy for America have teamed up to
organize nationwide "Vigils for Cindy Sheehan" (and for all
military families and Gold Star families) this coming Wednesday,
August 17, starting at 7:30 p.m. local time. The vigils are an
easy way for people to come together to show support for Cindy
and to speak out against the war. You can either find a vigil in
your neighborhood or start one of your own. Click below to get
started.

Here is what Cindy has said about the vigils: "I invite mothers
everywhere to stand up with me so that no more of our sons and
daughters lose their lives for a war based on lies and
deception. Join me in demanding the truth- and an end to the
war- by organizing vigils across the country, before one more
mother's child is lost."

TrueMajorityACTION members have been remarkably generous with
donations to support Cindy as she stands up to the president of
the United States. As well as giving her media and organizing
tools she needs to keep speaking out, your support is also
helping to send members of other families with fallen soldiers
around the country, following the president with Cindy's
message. Already, last week you helped Casey'ss high school
sweetheart follow President Bush to Illinois to keep the
pressure on, and more trips are coming.

Words of encouragement and financial support are important, but
the very heart of this movement is all of us coming together. So
please come to a vigil this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Support
Cindy, support each other, and BE the peace movement.

Use this online tool provided by our friends at MoveOn to find a
vigil near you:

SPECIAL INVITATION: We're extending a special invitation to Iraq
veterans, the families of military members in Iraq today and
Gold Star families. Bring a photo of your loved one to remind
all of us what is at stake. Two great organizations, Gold Star
Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out, are leading
the way to make the voices of military families heard loud and
clear. Thousands of people are already doing a lot- organizing
events and more- to help bring Cindy's stand to communities
across America.

You can attend a vigil or host one. Hosting a vigil is really
simple. All you have to do is choose the location, invite some
friends and get some candles. If you can't host, it's really
easy to attend one- just RSVP, get some candles and show up.
We'll send invitations to other TrueMajorityACTION members in
your neighborhood, too.
Thanks for all you do,

Duane Peterson
TrueMajorityACTION Coordinator

P.S. Cindy's earned a tremendous amount of news about her
request for Bush to level with her and the American people.
