Cindy Sheehan on Hunger Strike at the White House

Movement Strikes Wars and conflicts USA Cindy Sheehan

“We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch, we’ve even gone to jail, now it’s time to do more”

“This war is a crime,” the icon mother told a crowd of clapping, cheering protesters.

“We represent millions of Americans who withdraw their support from this government.”

Millions of American have just watched in disgust as our congress ignored the will of the American people and voted against setting a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Who exactly are they representing and what course of action do ‘we the people’ have at this point?

Cindy Sheehan has began a hunger strike at the White House and is pledging to stay as long as it takes until our government does right by our troops and the Iraqi people and returns US troops from Iraq immediately. If you browse around the net however, you wouldn’t even know that she and 150 patriots are camped out in direct confrontation of Bush and his policies. Cindy is providing the spark, but she needs our help to spread the word and raise the volume of our demands for justice.

Cindy needs our support to stop this war now. It is time to start asking questions of everyone who still supports these war crimes, starting with your ‘representative’ and senators.

When discussing the 4th of July with friends and family, perhaps now is the time to gently remind them of the meaning of the holiday.

Sheehan said just because Tuesday is the 4th of July does not mean we should be celebrating.

“Everybody needs to stand up, go out of their comfort zone,” Sheehan said. “And I don’t understand how people can party tomorrow while people are suffering.”

Don’t just sympathize, open the window and yell,

“We’re mad as hell and we’re not taking it anymore!”

    • Number 24, GET A CLUE! Those people DIDN"T ask us to invade AND OCCUPY THEM! NOR did they ask that our government INSTALL SADDAM IN FIRST PLACE! GET A CLUE! Casey and ALL our young men and women over in Iraq AND Afghanistan are MERE PAWNS being used by pure evil Bush and cohorts WHILE THEY WAR PROFITEER TO THE MAX ON THEIR DEAD AND INJURIED BODIES INCLUDING INNOCENT IRAQI’S TOO! Over OIL, ISRAEL, AND EMPIRE and as an excuse to suppress us HERE AT HOME, WHILE WE LOSE MORE AND MORE FREEDOMS HERE AT HOME! But Cindy is going about it WRONG way with hungry strike, AS BUSH DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT IF SHE DIES OR NOT! It’s STUPID on her part to give him WHAT HE WANTS, I.E. HER DEATH! She would be better off, doing what she does best, i.e. traveling America and trying to WAKE THE F*CKING SHEEP UP!

  • Unfortunately, withdrawing their support for the government has no effect on this government and never will. The elections are controlled now.

    The only way to get the message across of is MILLIONS of Americans WITHDRAW THEIR TAX DOLLARS.

    Cindy, don’t die for Bush - he’s not worth it.

  • I feel sorry for Cindy. She is putting her heart and soul into try alerting the American public of all the wickedness of the U.S. leadership regarding the Iraqi war and all I see is America hating her for it (for those few who even know of her among the majority clueless and the downright cheerleaders of the war’s killings.)

    She must really have concertration of love for her kid, Casey, that keeps her going. I know I could not last a day from the likes of abuse she has received from what I’ve read.

    Our thoughts and prayers are for you and your family, Cindy.

  • Sorry to inform you, but, your are not amongst the majority. We still have a job to do and it is not a good idea to pull all of our Troops out now. Have a hot dog and some corn on the cob. Wash it down with a beer. Today we celebrated our independence from Britain. It is something to be thankful for. A lot of good people suffered and died so that you can enjoy your freedoms to protest. Don’t forget that your son was also a volunteer patriot who went to Iraq to help some people that he never met to one day be free. You should be proud of him for making his own decision on this noble quest.

    • We are not now, nor have we ever been, free from Great Britain. The British monarch owns the GDP of the united states of America. Always has. Check it out.

    • No. 24! Your SOO VERY UNINFORMED, AND TYPICAL BRAINWASHED SHEEP! Ever heard of Downing St. Memo? It proves pure evil Bush and cohorts PURPOSEDLY LIED TO TAKE US TO WARS! Plus there are other memo’s! GET A F*CKING CLUE, MORONIC SHEEP! THESE WARS ARE TO SUPPRESS THE PEOPLE’S OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WHILE THEY GET THEIR OIL RIPPED OFF, BY BIG OIL COMPANIES FROM U.S. AND BRITAIN, WHILE BUSH,BLAIR,CHENEY AND EVEN SOME D’S IN CONGRESS WAR PROFITEER OFF OUR DEAD AND INJURIED G.I’S AND INNOCENT IRAQI’S AND AFGHANISTANI’S TOO! Your soooo very uninformed and plain brainwashed, it is PATHETIC! 1, Bush and cohorts LIED TO TAKE US TO WAR OVER OIL, ISRAEL, AND EMPIRE AND THE GODDAMN PURE EVIL PNAC PLANS! IT IS PROVEN! 2. If it was about their freedom, WHY have we NOT left by now, when Saddam is gone? Why did our gov’t force their leader to resign, when they had ELECTED HIM? 3. There are more then just one memo proving Bush, Blair and cohorts LIED TO TAKE US TO WARS! 4. READ PNAC PLANS! 5. Wolfowitz even admitted WMD’s was EXCUSE used for invading Iraq! 6. GET A F*CKING CLUE! THIS WAR IS OVER OIL, ISRAEL AND EMPIRE AND THEIR GODDAMN PURE EVIL PNAC GROUP PLANS, ALONG WITH COMING WAR ON IRAN TOO ALONG WITH WAR IN AFGHANISTAN, WHERE NOT THEY(UNOCIAL) HAVE PIPELINE WHICH OUR TROOPS ARE GUARDING, These wars WERE NEVER ABOUT OUR FREEDOMS NOR THEIRS BUT ABOUT RIPPING OFF THEIR OIL AND USING OUR TROOPS TO DO IT, WHILE SUPPRESSING US HERE AT HOME, I.E. NEW WORLD ORDER! Bush is using our troops like Hitler used his! To conquer countries and suppress the people while ripping them off of their natural resources,etc.! And our gov’t brought to power Saddam too and also the Taliban! KNOWING FULL WELL, BOTH WERE REPRESSIVE BUT THEY DIDN’T CARE, AS LONG AS BOTH PLAYED BALL WITH ASSHOLE TRAITORS IN D.C.! AND YES, 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! IT IS PROVEN NOW, THAT THOSE TOWERS WERE DETONATED! DR. STEVEN JONES DID EXPERIMENTS ON STEEL FROM TOWERS AND IT PROVES THERMATE WAS USED ON TOWERS, PROVING I.E. 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! PEOPLE IN OUR OWN GOV’T MURDERED OUR OWN CITIZENS TO START THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN AND GOING TO IRAQ! NOW CIA QUIT TRACKING BIN LADEN! WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU SHEEP? GET A FUCKING CLUE AND WAKE THE FUCK UP BEFORE THEY TOTALLY DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN! AND OUR FREEDOMS AS WELL!

      NOPE. THIS GUY ABOVE IS A LIVING FEEBLE JOKE ON HIMSELF. SEE BELOW.

      Sorry to inform you, but, your are not amongst the majority.
      HAPPY TO INFORM YOU - CONFORMIST YO YO - BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE U.S. IN ALL THE POLLS ARE AGAINST THIS PHONY - $-MAKING WAR FOR THE WAR-SUPPLY COMPANY OWNERS.

      We still have a job to do
      NOPE: *WE* DON’T HAVE A ’JOB TO DO’ IN IRAQ. WE AGRESSED AND KILLED ON BUSH’S FALSE LYING PRETENSES - AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS - WHAT OUR ’JOB’ IS - IS TO :

      1. APOLOGIZE TO ALL THE FAMILIES OF IRAQIS THAT WE KILLED. THE U.S. HAD NO RIGHT TO KILL ANYBODY OVER THERE - EVEN SADDAM SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT BY ***IRAQIS*** WITH ADVICE AND SUPPLYING BY OUR AGENCIES.

      2. THEN SINCE WE ARE CONTINUING TO KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY RIGHT TO DO SO - IN
      ****THEIR**** COUNTRY. THE U.S. HAS KILLED FAR MORE INNOCENT IRAQIS THAN SADDAM EVER DID. THE U.S. SHOULD GET OUT IMMEDIATELY -THAT IS OUR ’JOB’-.

      3. WE SHOULD LEAVE THE IRAQI FACTIONS TO FIGHT IT OUT OR REASON IT OUT AMONG THEMSELVES - WHICH EVER THEY CHOOSE. WE MAY HAVE PUT THEM IN CIVIL WAR - BUT WE SHOULD NOT TRY TO ***KILL*** THEM UNTIL THEY AGREE TO STOP CIVIL-WARRING. IT’S THEIR COUNTRY - YOU JERK. IRAQ IS NOT ’YOUR’ COUNTRY TO DECIDE THINGS ABOUT. OUR JOB IS TO GET OUT OF IRAQ.

      4. THEN IT IS OUR JOB TO **PAY** THE IRAQIS FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE DESTROYED WHILE ATTACKING THEM FOR A FALSE REASON.

      and it is not a good idea to pull all of our Troops out now.
      READ THE ABOVE MY CONFORMIST YO YO. IT IS DEFINITELY A GOOD IDEA TO PULL OUT NOW.

      Have a hot dog and some corn on the cob.
      HAVE A ROASTED IRAQI KIDS LEG THAT THE U.S. ROASTED IN FALLUHJAH WITH THE U.S.s WAR-CRIME USE OF WHITE PHOSPHOROUS TO BURN THROUGH HUMAN FLESH - TRY THAT YOU TRITE WEASEL.

      Wash it down with a beer.
      WASH THE LITTLE IRAQI GIRL’S WHITE-PHOSPHOROUS COOKED LEG DOWN WITH HER WARM BLOOD YOU SHALLOW SWINE.

      Today we celebrated our independence from Britain.
      TODAY WE CELEBRATED OF ONE GROUP OF WEALTHY ENGLISHMEN WHO REVOLTED AGAINST THE MAJOR GROUP OF GREEDY ENGLISHMEN AND STARTED THEIR OWN LABOR EXPLOITATION OF ORDINARY ’AMERICANS’ IN THE ’NEW WORLD’. G. WASHINGTON WAS THE RICHEST MAN AND THE LARGEST LANDOWNER IN THE COLONIES. 90% OF THE FIRST CONGRESS WERE THE RICHEST MEN IN THE COLONIES - BULLSHIT AND GREED AS USUAL.

      It is something to be thankful for.
      WHAT THERE IS TO BE THANKFUL FOR IS THAT THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORICAL FACT INFORMATION OUT ON THE NET NOW - THAT DISINFORMATION-SNAKES LIKE YOURSELF CAN NO LONGER PERSUADE ANYONE WITH YOUR CHILDISH BULLSHIT.

      A lot of good people suffered and died so that you can enjoy your freedoms to protest.
      YES SOME WERE - BUT NOT FOR THE RIGHT TO ’PROTEST’ JERK. JEFFERSON AND MADISON GAVE US THOSE RIGHTS THE DAY THE CONSTITUTION WAS PUBLISHED AND SUCCESSIVE AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE TRIED TO TAKE AWAY THAT RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH EVER SINCE AND THEY HAVE MANAGED TO CHIP IT DOWN GREATLY. *** NO ONE. ***LET ME REPEAT THAT YO YO. ***** NO ONE HAS DIED IN IRAQ OR ANY OTHER WAR TO PRESERVE OUR ’FREEDOM TO PROTEST’ . THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING YO YOs LIKE YOU - WHO SUGGEST FURTHER RESTRICTING FREE SPEECH EVER SINCE.

      Don’t forget that your son was also a volunteer patriot who went to Iraq to help some people that he never met to one day be free.
      KNOW CASEY DID NOT VOLUNTEER SPECIFICALLY TO GO TO IRAQ. (THAT THE KIND OF DISINFORMATION, DISINFORMATION WEASELS LIKE YOUR SELF ATTEMPT TO SLANT DISCOURSE WITH. CASEY WAS A PATRIOT WHO VOLUNTEERED TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY IN WHAT EVER JUST AND HONORABLE WAY HIS COUNRTY NEEDED HIM TO SERVE IN. THEN THE U.S. ***BETRAYED*** CASEY BY ORDERING HIM TO SERVE IN AN ILLEGAL, DISHONORABLE AND DISPICABLE WAR OPERATION IN WHICH HE WAS KILLED.

      You should be proud of him for making his own decision on this noble quest.
      A HYPOCRITICAL SNAKE LIKE YOUR SELF HAS NO DECENCY CREDENTIALS TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CASEY SHEEHAN. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HIS UNDERSTANDING OR KIND OF NOBILITY WAS. YOU ARE MERELY A DISGRACE TO THE REST OF US - WHO KNOW THAT OUR DUTY TO THESE FALLEN SOLDIERS IS TO FORCE THIS COUNTRY TO CHANGE FROM ITS ATROCITIES AND TO BEGIN FINALLY TO ACT IN AN HONORABLE WAY - AND GET OUT OF IRAQ ..... AND LEAVE THE IRAQIS IN POSSESSION OF THEIR COUNTRY - IN ANY WAY THEY WANT IT TO BE.
