Text of e-mail received from the Progressive Caucus....
I may have out of town guests... but if not I'm there.

"Welcome Home Sen. Becky Lourey and Coleen Rowley
Rally at the Capitol
This Sunday, August 21, at 2 PM

Help welcome home these two truly inspiring and courageous women of
integrity and conviction who are helping to give a voice to our
country's most pressing questions: Why did we go to war in Iraq?
What is the mission? When can the troops come home?

Yesterday, Lourey and Rowley went to Crawford Texas to support Cindy
Sheehan, a mother of a solider who was killed in Iraq. Sheehan had
been holding vigil in front of the Bush ranch until she had to leave
when her mother suffered a stroke. Lourey and Rowley will be
returning home from Camp Casey this Sunday. Let's welcome them home
and show them how much we love and support them. Let's thank these
two fabulous women who consistently put principles over politics.

Help get the word out. Please take some time to think of any group
with whom you are associated--union, peace organization, social
group, neighborhood group, listservs, etc and extend an invitation
to join what will be a great celebration of the human spirit!"

2. hmmmmm. I recommend AMTRAK...

but then you might have to make a connection in Chicago or....ok, well, that could be a little dicey.

4. Hee. What I meant was...

...was she going to cross the picket line to get home? She didn't, and that makes me love her even more.

3. Salt Lake City tv station rejects Sheehan ad

A tv station in Salt Lake City has refused to run an ad featuring Cindy Sheehan. This is a clear violation of their broadcast license. Here's the story:

Here's where to file a complaint with the FC to demand they lose their license:
