Cindy Sheehan Planning Anti-War Bus Tour

[deadparrot]

CRAWFORD, Texas - A fallen soldier's mother said Thursday that the an anti-war vigil she started nearly three weeks ago near
President Bush's ranch won't end when she and other protesters pack up the camp next week.

Cindy Sheehan said the day after she leaves Aug. 31, she will embark on a bus tour ending up in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24. Then the group will start a 24-hour vigil in the nation's capital.

"I am not alone," she said at a news conference Thursday. "There's the people standing behind me here, but there's thousands of military families ... who want the same answers to the same questions."

On Wednesday, Sheehan returned to "Camp Casey," named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq.

13. Everybody be there. Show the true face of Americans.

I have my hotel reservations already. They will be filling up fast now. Details for the weekend can be found in the D.C. state and country forum.

No one particular group needs to dominate the march/gathering/protest and as many people should show up as we can get, so push all your friends to show up.

But he's probably on a "no fly" list now. Nonetheless, I've already booked my hotel room.

11. Can we include Iraqi mothers?

Can we get some Iraqi mothers involved? They are grieving about the war that was started by the same man. This is an international problem, not just Cindy's.
God bless Cindy.

This is a natural transition from August to September for Cindy Sheehan and I'm so encouraged that she's doing it.
