  • The Anti-War Movement? by Cindy Sheehan (democracyrising.us)
    7 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Thursday, 06 April 2006
    Being a so-called anti-war movement leader (at least to the MSM), brings much responsibility and so much love for the people and the groups who are working hard to end this insane occupation, but is this enough?
    Recently, a blog written by an aquaintance, Scott Ritter, on AlterNet was called to my attention, where Scott, who is a self-proclaimed Republican, conservative who courageously opposed this war from the beginning, is predicting the eminent demise of the (…)

    Monday 20 March 2006 "More fighting and sacrifice will be required to achieve this victory, and for some, the temptation to retreat and abandon our commitments is strong." George Bush, Radio Address, March 18, 2006
    On March 19, 2003, George Bush "shocked and awed" the world by his premature, if not wholly unnecessary, invasion of Iraq. I can remember that night when he came on to tell us that he had begun his war crimes against Iraq in earnest. I was sitting on my couch sobbing for the (…)

    There Are Criminals, and Then There Are CRIMINALS Written by Cindy Sheehan Friday, 10 March 2006
    As I lie here in bed recuperating from the injuries that I received from a federal agent and the NYPD in front of the US Mission to the UN (USUN) the other day, I have had time to reflect on the experience, the state of our union and its descent into a fascist state.
    When the four of us. Missy Beattie, Rev. Patricia Ackerman, Medea Benjamin, and I, were arrested the other day, I was (…)

    by Cindy Sheehan Dear Friends,
    As most of you have probably heard, I was arrested before the State of the Union Address tonight.
    I am speechless with fury at what happened and with grief over what we have lost in our country.
    There have been lies from the police and distortions by the press. (Shocker) So this is what really happened:
    This afternoon at the People’s State of the Union Address in DC where I was joined by Congresspersons Lynn Woolsey and John Conyers, Ann Wright, Malik (…)

  • Cindy Sheehan: “Bush’s Presidency Is Illegitimate!”

    Washington, D.C. - Cindy Sheehan is back in town! I’m sure that big bully in the White House, President George W. Bush, will be shaking in his cowboy boots when he hears that news. When Sheehan, the popular anti-Iraq War activist, showed up at Crawford, Texas, last summer, Bush refused to meet with her. He seemed cowed by her mere presence at a vigil (a/k/a “Camp Casey”) so close to his once-secluded ranch. Sheehan was then demanding a face-to-face meeting with the Spymaster Bush, whose (…)

    By Cindy Sheehan
    I have been in Europe for 2 weeks now. I have been toasted by the Mayor of London, Ken Livingston, and greeted by Foreign Ministers, a Vice President and members of the various Parliaments. Those stories are for another article.
    My highest honor both here in the States and in Europe now is meeting with the families of children murdered in George Bush’s War of Terror against the world.
    No matter if we all speak differently accented English, Spanish, or the heavy (…)
