[Wheezy]

1. Other Gold Star Moms Here

she said--this will go on until I get back.

Going to LA with her sister DeeDee to assess the situation of Mom. "I'll be back if I can."

[rocktivity]

35. If Bush were REALLY smart, he'd go to Cindy NOW

But he's not really smart.

Get well soon, and you can bet she, and not the smearfest, will get the blame.

:(

[Bluerthanblue]

49. forget 'smart' if he really cared at all about anyone other than

himself- if he truly had that 'heart change' that he claims Christ
brought, he'd never have caused her to be there.

My heart goes out to Cindy- a grieving mom, needs her mom.
Let's all send her love in whatever way we do best.

i'm glad she and her sister are together. Camp Casey we're with you
in spirit and truth-

Srength, comfort and healing. and love, lots of love.

[krkaufman]

82. Hopefully, a tape recorder will be running...

... when * makes a crack that Cindy's mom's stroke was an act of God, punishing Cindy for opposing the war.

[wellstone dem]

83. He has had other opportunities to do the right thing and save face

He could have come out after the crosses were desecrated, but he chose not too. He could come out when Cindy gets back, I doubt he will.

[HeeBGBz]

60. Everyone should carry on in her place

Hold her spot til she gets back.

[HeeBGBz]

61. (((Hugs to Cindy))) and healing energy to her mom

What a sad thing. It's always something in life.

[deadparrot]

2. That poor family.

:cry:

Best wishes for Cindy and her family.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

3. How horrible

My thoughts are with her and her family.

[LSparkle]

I pray that the vigil will continue until she can (God willing) return ... Thoughts and prayers to Cindy and her family.

Watch the wingnuts foam at the mouth even more now.

[KyndCulture]

10. they'll say she's lying about her mother I bet. nt.

[jsamuel]

13. or that she "Made her mother have a stroke to push political purposes!"

I hope she is ok.

I stopped going over there when it became a "who can write the most offensive post" contest.

[hippiegranny]

23. no, they'll say Cindy caused it

you know how their teeny weeny little minds work.

[johnaries]

30. or that God did it to punish Cindy. n/t

38. My guess is the BFEE

[LiberalinNC]

8. Wish her mom a speedy recovery!

How much more pain does this poor woman have to endure? I guess the old saying is true, that that doesn't break us, only makes us stronger!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

maybe you could let up on her now. MKJ

We have your back!

[Autonomy]

12. We should send cards to Cindy's mom

Where is she hospitalized? I am assuming she is in a hospital.

I thought I heard Cindy sound unsure about when and IF she is coming back. :cry: Can someone confirm?

edit: heard her on CNN about 5 minutes ago.

[matcom]

14. CNN says mom is in L.A.

that's all we have right now

[katty]

59. I'm in LA,this will probably be a media frenzy-too bad, this

is way too personal.

[Fluffdaddy]

15. God bless you and your mother, Cindy

[roguevalley]

18. I pray for her mom. Not all strokes are terrible. I hope its a tiny

TA (?) thing, like my mom's. God bless them all.

[montana_hazeleyes]

16. I hope her mom will be okay.

The headline made me think it was Cindy who had the stroke.

You just know the right wingers will blame Cindy . Maybe this is a bad time to bring that up, ut you know they will.

[matcom]

19. fixed for clarity

thanks and sorry

[myrna minx]

17. Oh-I hope she will be alright.

:grouphug:

[riverwalker]

20. Maybe another Gold Star family

can hold her place. Or even rotate from day to day, a different family every day in the spotlight, telling their story.

28. Wow. Sometimes I forget what goes on over there

To: Nighthaven
Can strokes be caused by stress? If so, I am sure that her mother was under a severe amount watching her daughter act like a complete commie America hating wench.

[tuckessee]

67. You can always count on Freepers.....

[Arkansas Granny]

81. They are some of the most hate-filled people.

I can't imagine going through life with that much hate in your soul.

29. Best wishes to Cindy ..

and her mother. Poor woman has been through alot !

[LibDemAlways]

31. Positive thoughts to Cindy and her family.

I can't help but think that the rightwing smear machine that has come down hard on Cindy the last couple of days may have contributed to this.

[Shakespeare]

32. More proof that this wonderful woman.....

...is all about family, and NOT about self-promotion.

Godspeed, Cindy--I hope your mom's OK, and that you're able to get back quickly.

[KamaAina]

34. Aaauuggh! Just when her story was starting to gain some traction

this has to happen. No doubt Bush** is grinning from ear to ear as he clears some brush or peels a banana or whatever.

Cripes, what if Gawd really is on his side?! :scared:

[Rainscents]

44. Don't worry, this will give more track, especially when right wing nutjobs

trashes her about her mother...Gold Star Mom's is taking Cindy's place!!! Randi Rhodes interviewed Cindy's lawyer and he said, this will continue!

[montana_hazeleyes]

47. I think

It's Satan on his** side. Something bad always happens just when he** needs it.

[txradioguy369]

51. Her pooer momther having to deal with the stress

Hopefully she'll shake it off and come back beter than before.

[genius]

53. Let's all pray for Cindy and her mom.

Losing Casey has got to be tough on both of them.

[gademocrat7]

54. Hope Cindy's mother will recover.

Cindy is a strong woman who has endured hardship with grace. I sincerely hope her mother has a full and speedy recovery. Our prayers are with her and her family.

[TroglodyteScholar]

55. Terrible news, but all will be okay...

Lots of people survive minor strokes with very few complications. We'll be sending good thoughts to Cali...

[loudsue]

56. Loses son. Husband files for divorce. Mother has stroke. Media smears.

This woman has sure had some burdens to deal with.

O8) I pray for her mother to heal quickly and totally, and for Cindy to be rewarded for all the love she puts back into the world. O8)

The vigil will go on! We're all holding her place.

Cindy To Los Angeles
We got word a few hours ago that Cindy's mother had a stroke. We dont' know how serious the stroke is and cannot tell you whether she is in stable condition or not. Cindy and her sister left a hour ago to take a plane to LA from Waco. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her immediate family.

We are still here. Over 300 people are on the grounds right now. Over 200 mothers are marching right now. Its Thursday. We will have thousands here by Saturday. We need your help in sending this message to President Bush: Get out sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, neighbors and schoolteachers, husbands and wives out of Iraq.

This stand will continue. The Iraq Veterans Against the War are still here. The Veterans for Peace are still here. Military Families Speak Out are all still here. Goldstar Families, founded by Cindy and her sister, are still here. And you're still here. Come to Crawford. Stand with us.

[rodeodance]

63. i will light a candle also.

[Roland99]

65. My thoughts are with you, Cindy! Hope your mother recovers quickly!

[katinmn]

66. MN State Sen Lourey will help hold down the fort till Cindy gets back

We have a Twin Cities TV station in Crawford. Sen Lourey lost a son a few months ago.

Sheehan leaves Texas after mother has stroke, Lourey to fill-in
The grieving woman who started an anti-war demonstration near President Bush's ranch nearly two weeks ago said Thursday she was leaving because her mother had a stroke.

Cindy Sheehan told reporters she had just received the phone call and was leaving immediately to be with her 74-year-old mother at a Los Angeles hospital.

"I'll be back as soon as possible if it's possible," she said. After hugging some of her supporters, Sheehan and her sister, Deedee Miller, got in a van and left for the Waco airport about 20 miles away.

Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey died in Iraq, said the makeshift campsite, dubbed Camp Casey, off the road leading to Bush's ranch would continue. The camp has grown to more than 100 people, including many relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq.

68. How can this movement become less about Cindy

and more about Peace? I'm afraid that it will die out with too much focus on Cindy.

[go freedom]

69. Man, the woman can't catch a break.

I hope mom pulls through fine.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

70. Cindy, we're keeping you and your family in our thoughts

and prayers...

71. Cindy's Mom had a Stroke and she had to leave...(Many of us Didn't Know)

and since this is less than 24 hrs. old, I hope the mods will not lock this because many DU'ers like me didn't know this until a couple of posts without any of this info appeared on DU. For those of us who rely on DU for our news it was hard to understand what had happened. I finally had to Google to get the news. Others like me might not be aware of this terrible news about Cindy's Mom and why she had to leave temporarily.)

Anyway..here's what I found on Google, for those like me who were in the dark about this:



Sheehan leaves Crawford to care for mother after stroke
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) — The grieving woman who started an anti-war demonstration near President Bush's ranch nearly two weeks ago left the camp Thursday after learning her mother had had a stroke, but she told supporters the protest would go on.
Cindy Sheehan, right, holds back tears as she hugs Ann Wright just before leaving Camp Casey near President Bush's ranch on Thursday.
By LM Otero, AP

Cindy Sheehan told reporters she had just received the phone call and was leaving immediately to be with her 74-year-old mother at a Los Angeles hospital.

"I'll be back as soon as possible if it's possible," she said. After hugging some of her supporters, Sheehan and her sister, Deedee Miller, got in a van and left for the Waco airport about 20 miles away.

72. Shame on Bush for not seeing Cindy after all this time.

I wish her mom a speedy recovery; Cindy has already endured more tragedy than any mother should.

[KoKo]

73. Cindy has HER Priorities straight in contrast to Bush and I'll bet that

another Vet Mom will come forward to take her place while Cindy's with her Mom. It just proves that Cindy has more "family values" in her heart than all of the Bushies and Right Wingers could ever find to fill a thimble. :-(

[ignatius 2]

74. Best wishes and cyber hugs to Cindy and her mom.

[Ilsa]

75. Best Wishes for Cindy's mom and Cindy as she

travels and deals with this.

[donco6]

77. The Movement Is Become More Than She.

At least, I think so. This will be a good test.

[Lochloosa]

78. Kick for my Dupe

[Mad_Dem_X]

80. Camp Casey will carry on for Cindy!

We're behind you 100%, Cindy - this movement you started will continue to grow and gain strength as we wait for you to return! Best wishes for your mother and you.
