Kennedy & Kerry Pressure Bush To Meet Cindy

[sandnsea]

The momentum is building on George Bush to stop hiding from this courageous woman, and meet with Cindy Sheehan. Senator Allen encouraged it almost immediately, several members of the House quickly followed up with a letter to the President.

Today, The Boston Herald reports that “Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday each threw their support behind Cindy Sheehan, who has been camped outside Bush's Crawford, Texas, home since Saturday, vowing not to leave until the president meets with her about the war. Sheehan's 24-year-old Marine son, Casey, was killed five days after he arrived in Iraq.

``The president has not leveled with our troops and the American people,'' Kennedy said. ``I admire Cindy Sheehan for her courage and determination to make the president answer to her.''

Kerry spokeswoman April Boyd said: ``Senator Kerry understands the demands on Bush's schedule but hopes he will take time to meet with Mrs. Sheehan.''

Maybe if Bush does decide to change course and meet with Cindy, he’ll finally have a mistake he can admit at his next press conference.
