Anti-war protest in Idaho: "a Cindy Sheehan in every community"

BOISE, Idaho Iraq war opponents say President Bush shouldn't expect any respite from protest by going to a resort in red-state Idaho.

At a rally in Boise, one demonstrator declared, "He's going to find a Cindy Sheehan (SHEE'-han) in every community across the United States."

....

In Boise, demonstrators set up a memorial to the more than 18-hundred U-S troops who've died in Iraq -- rows of white wooden crosses in a park next to the Idaho state capital.

....

However, Melanie House, whose Navy husband was killed in Iraq in January, says Bush owes her and others an explanation of what the mission is in Iraq. She says, "I want to know why my husband had to die."

8. What a powerful statement. We need to get the MSM to realize
this important fact: Cindy is not the only grieving parent/loved one asking this question.

during the Depression era.

15. We are everywhere, George. You cannot escape us like you escaped
Vietnam. The truth (a concept you have only a vague relationship with) is catching up to you. No safe haven- no safe states. The cries of those who have had their loved ones taken because of your lies will haunt you for the rest of your life.

17. He'll be at Nampa for an 11:15 a.m. speech
to the Idaho National Guard and the bigwig Republicans.

The GOP completely, 100%, controlled all ticket releases.
One national guardsman wife said she can't get a ticket. Her husband is in Kirkuk.

22. Go, Boise! What spirit! What clear-eyed vision! A sleeping Giant,
indeed! We were actually never asleep. I never tire of repeating this stat, which struck me like lightning in Feb. 2003: 58% of the American people opposed the Iraq war back THEN, *BEFORE* the invasion. Before all the lies were exposed; before the full horror and costs were known. Across the board in all polls. 58%!

No, not asleep! Disempowered! DISENFRANCHISED!

And, now, it's not that we're waking up; it's that we're finding our POWER, and, with it, we are going to get back our FRANCHISE and create a peaceful and just and democratic county once again! Yes, we are!

23. Just saw a local mom of 2 marines in Iraq on TV
She disagrees with Cindy completely. She also noted that she has not been given a ticket to Bush's speech. I guess the GOP bigwigs bumped her off from a space. She hasn't woken up to the truth yet.

25. Boise is a Mormon majority community with a good sized Air Force
base nearby. This increases the significance of the protest.
