Here's what Cindy Sheehan is up to

[panader0]

Fron CNN's web site this morning:

Cindy Sheehan: The anti-war activist — who camped near former President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, five years ago demanding an explanation for her son's death in Iraq — is building a tent city today near the Washington Monument.

The Hill reports Sheehan wants Obama to pull troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan

8. Isn't there progress in doing that.

why doesn't she direct her efforts to something else. They are starting to pull them out of Iraq and soon the other places. I think since she is such an activist she should start to concentrate her efforts on Health Care, Jobs, and the rest of the stuff Obama administration is trying to pass. Better yet start a campaign against the obstructionist republicans. She can really get things going and this would be a wonderful effort on her part.

10. Why don't you tell her?

She has a Facebook page and a couple websites. Let her know what you think and then report back to us with her reply.

11. if one of your kids was blown to bits in an insane corporate war

you would be pissed off too.
until you have that happen, you dont know what the word 'anger' even means.

[Jester Messiah]

12. She's beyond anger. I believe the loss drove her mad. [nt]

[Mari333]

13. again, unless you have had a child die

you have no idea.

and her son died in a war criminal's war..for corporate profit. think about it. your child dying to enrich oil companies.

she is doing exactly what any parent who loves their child would do.

[Jester Messiah]

14. Such would probably drive me mad as well.

Madness is madness, however.

[Mari333]

15. imagine for one second, that someone murdered your child

would you want to go out and fight against whomever murdered your child?

I would.

Thats not madness, thats LOVE of a PARENT for her child.

[Jester Messiah]

17. I think she's taken it a good bit beyond that. [nt]

[Mari333]

18. and you would , too, if your child was murdered.nt

[Jester Messiah]

20. And you know that... how?

You don't. You've never met me beyond a few words exchanged on the Internet. Don't suppose that you can predict what I would do in such a situation. I certainly wouldn't conduct myself as Cindy has. My reaction would likely be vengeful and grisly, but conducted in as much obscurity as I could manage.

[Mari333]

21. she is trying to help other parents keep their own children from being murdered

by corporate wars.

thats sanity and compassion.

[roguevalley]

26. she started the flip in opinion about the war and went straight to the

lion's den to face the cowards. Cindy isn't mad. She's determined in a way most of us aren't because it requires us going out of our life, our comfort zone, our usual way of doing things. She is a righteous woman, Our Cindy. She forgot more about guts, goodness and courage than most of us will ever know. I love her.

[arcadian]

22. Ummm yeah, I've met her a few times. She is quite sane.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Good for Cindy!!

She speaks for me :patriot:

[Echo In Light]

16. Imagine the hatred that this thread would be dripping with if not for Kooch taking heat!

lol

[shockra]

19. I could mention that she's a vegan too.

That might do it!

[superduperfarleft]

24. I didn't know that. Do you have a link?

If true, that's awesome, and makes me love her even more.

[Echo In Light]

27. lol

[marshall]

23. Cindy is three or four steps ahead of the rest of us

It wasn't long ago that everyone, Democrat and Republican alike, thought she was just a nut for going after the current administration with as much vim as she went after the previous. Now, not so much. She's the most lucid one of us all.

25. An aquaintance from another forum and I are seriously

considering joining Cindy in D.C. I spent time with her on the first day of Camp Casey, the day after she returned from her famous trip to Jordan.

[deaniac21]

28. How come she is getting no press coverage?
