solidarity for Cindy from those of us you are unable to make the trip to Texas. I am not sure if this idea will distract from her camp or help the cause. Comments please.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW ORLEANS SHOWS SUPPORT FOR CINDY SHEEHAN

Local supporters of Cindy Sheehan have organized activities in the
New Orleans area to show their support for her vigil near the Bush
ranch in Crawford, Texas. Sheehan is the mother of U.S. soldier Casey
Sheehan who was killed in Iraq in April, 2004. She has been denied a
face-to-face meeting with President Bush since Saturday and has
vowed, if necessary, to remain in Crawford for the entire length of
the president's vacation - until she is granted a private audience
with the commander-in-chief.

Please show your support by joining in the New Orleans activities:

Thursday, August 11: 4:00 - 6:00pm - Demonstration and distribution
of information at the intersection of Canal and Claiborne Streets

Friday, August 12: 4:00 - 6:00pm - Demonstration and distribution of
information at the intersection of Canal and Claiborne Streets
(location may change - we will keep you posted if that happens)

Saturday, August 13: 7:00pm - Gather at Bayou St. John and Esplanade
Avenue; 8:00pm - Candlelight Vigil on Bayou St. John


Sheehan, a co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace, decided to
confront President Bush at his ranch after hearing his comments to
the American Legislative Exchange Council last Wednesday. At that
meeting the president said, "Our men and women who've lost their
lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and in this war on terror have died in
a noble cause and a selfless cause."

"Why did my son die? What was the noble cause that he died for? I
don't want to use my son's name or my family name to
justify any more killing or to exploit my son's name, my son's
sacrifice, or my son's honor to justify more killing. As a mother,
why would I want one more mother to go through what I'm going
through, Iraqi or American? And I want to tell him that the only way
to honor my son's sacrifice is to bring the troops home now."

If Sheehan is unable to talk to Bush in Crawford, she has vowed
to "follow him to D.C. and ... camp out on his lawn," even going to
prison if necessary.

If you have questions, need to get in touch, or you can offer some
help in any way, send an email to supportcindy@getyouracton.com.

PEACE IS PATRIOTIC!

3. ROCK ON
I think this is a GREAT idea to honor Casey Sheehan, his service, and to demand that Bush speak to Cindy.

4. camp going up in
NYC union square, Also Chico Ca.......

Let's get camps up all over the U.S. and I don't think it needs to be in front of a high profile Politicians home/office because the point is to stand in solidarity for Cindy so I'm thinking lonely farm roads similar to where Cindy and group are would be fine.

Hands across America didnt just stretch thru busy city streets and high profile places in fact most of it went right down lonely farm roads........this could work!
