    Why I must tell the president to stop the war BEFORE ANOTHER SON DIES NEEDLESSLY
    By Cindy Sheehan
    I will never, ever forget the night of April 4, 2004, when I found out that my son Casey had been killed in Iraq.
    I will also never forget the day when we buried my sweet boy, my oldest son. If I live to be a very old lady and forget everything else, I will never forget when the general handed me the folded flag that had lain on Casey’s coffin, as his brother and sisters, standing behind (…)

    Misses and Miracles
    We still have so many great things happening at Camp Casey. In spite of all the smears and lies, people are still coming.
    The most amazing thing today was learning that Camp Caseys are opening and spreading all over the country. They have been set up in Boston, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere. If you can’t make it to Camp Casey, set up your own version. Camp Caseys are amazing places full of love and hope. I am so gratified that the movement is spreading.

    American Imperialism vs. the Restoration of a Kingdom
    by B.Z. Bywydd (GNN) August 11, 2005
    Lately I see Native Hawaiian sovereignty compared with Naziism, dismissed as a failed dream, belittled, feared and misrepresented, all by people who seem to have no historical or cultural understanding of Native issues. They speak of "losing the Aloha" and warn Native Hawaiians of this end and that, as if they alone hold the keys to the future.
    Most Americans cannot step out of our circle of (…)

    Is Bush Out Of Control? Doug Thompson August 15, 2005 Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by bitter staff infighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest paranoia bordering on schizophrenia.\ They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry, obscenity-spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disagree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with (…)

    Editorial: Bush A Coward August 16, 2005
    The President of the United States, who lacked the courage to serve his country during the Vietnam War, has once again shown his cowardice. Scores of brave American soldiers have given their lives since he went on vacation a couple of weeks ago. And yet, when the mother of one of our war dead — Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed awhile back in Sadr City — showed up at his Texas ranch asking to speak to him, he didn’t even have the cojones to (…)

  • A Sunday Drive to Crawford

    by sparosnare
    The trek began early Sunday morning - a decision to drive 181 miles to support Cindy Sheehan, a courageous mother who lost her son in the Iraq War. She has taken a stand against the war, and against those who lied to justify the war, right outside the gates of George Bush’s ranch. She’s camped out in a ditch, literally, waiting for the President to speak with her. Waiting for him to take 10 minutes and answer her questions.
    So there we were - two cars, two adults, 3 kids (…)

    Suppose you were an idiot... And suppose you were a member of Congress... But I repeat myself. — Mark Twain
    THE DIALOGUE
    What shameful toads you are! Yes you, our elected lawmakers. Yes you, the folks we sent to Washington in our names. Yes you, the most spineless, cowardly and craven Congress people in history. Yes you, the most bullied, gutless and shameful herd of legislators ever elected. And you know exactly who you are.

    CRAWFORD, TX — President George W. Bush is "mulling options" for a possible military strike against Cindy Sheehan, said one of his top political aides.
    "Cindy Sheehan’s actions over the last few days are the same sorts of things that terrorists would do. I count her protest to be an attack against my poll numbers," said President Bush.
    Earlier today, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz urged the President to bomb Mrs. Sheehan.
    "Let her eat bombs," exclaimed the World Bank (…)

    Release Cuban Five or Face Nuremberg, says Fidel Castro
    Havana, Aug 15 (AIN) President Fidel Castro said that true justice in the Cuban Five case will only occur when the men - considered national heroes on the island- are released and return to Cuba.
    During an encounter Saturday in Havana with the mothers, spouses and children of the five Cubans imprisoned in the US for trying to prevent terrorist attacks against the island, Fidel Castro praised the decision made by three judge (…)
