Cindy releasing a book - that was quick

[meisje]

I wonder where the proceeds will go?

[Horse with no Name]

1. What does it matter?

:shrug: She has spent a pretty good deal of her money on her cause, so I am certain that she is needing a cashflow to continue her work.

[Maat]

2. I'm hoping they will go to Cindy!

She deserves financial support of her activism; she has really helped the progressives in this country get their message heard.

I can't wait to buy it.

It would be nice if a small part of the proceeds (for an author doesn't get that much) went to the Crawford Peace House or Veterans for Peace (or another worthy progressive cause).

3. Why do liberals have to discuss "proceeds" while

pukes discuss yachts?

[AmeriCat]

4. I have a question...

I thought our Peace Mom was going to chain herself to the White House gates upon reaching 2000 soldiers' deaths. What happened to that? (She's ok, isn't she?) I always thought that would be a great statement!

6. Apparently you aren't aware she was arrested again near the White House

at the end of October, after the 2000 dead American soldiers milestone was passed.

You should pay closer attention if you're interested in joining the "Democrat" Party. Democrats usually are well informed.

[Binka]

7. I think this will be over quick Judi Lynn

After the profile perusal I just laughed and thought pppfftttzzzzzz!

[Judi Lynn]

11. We should get a pool organized, by date or volume of posts.

It would be good "Democrat" fun.



Ka-Boom.

[AZBlue]

20. Or number of unnecessarily nasty posts. That would be fun.

:sarcasm:

[AZBlue]

19. Wow - bite their head off for asking a simple question, why don't you??

That's a nice way to welcome a new member.

[AZBlue]

17. Welcome to DU AmeriCat! Don't worry, most people here are friendly!

Just ignore those that aren't!!

BTW, don't feel bad that you didn't know...after all, it was barely covered in the media.

[rucky]

5. it's straight out of the journal she's been keeping

which explains the "quick" part.

writing a book is not always "cashing in"

8. Cindy Sheehan's book will be published by Koa Books.

She began writing down her thoughts months ago.

www.koabooks.com/index.cfm

Koa Books is a brand new, very small publisher. According to Publishers' Weekly, she could have made a more lucrative deal.

Surely the woman whose supporters call the "Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement" could have gotten the attention of many big publishing company executives, so why did she decide to go with a pamphleteer and a start-up? The reasons include: the desire to get her message out as true to Sheehan as possible; to get it out as fast as possible, and to do it with people known and trusted by Sheehan's advisors.

If Ms. Sheehan made some money off the book--would that be a sin? Is she independently wealthy?

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Damn, I hope Oprah features

and that sales go through the roof and that Cindy can buy as many VW Beetles has her heart desires. She deserves it.

[Junkdrawer]

10. Oh here we go, The 'Bev Harris'ing of Cindy....

:eyes:

[Kelvin Mace]

14. As far as I see

Bev Harris hasn't trashed her supporters, lied to folks who raised money for her or claimed that George Bush secretly supports her.

[Binka]

15. Delete

I did not understand what you were saying. Got it now.

[Armstead]

12. I hope she makes a fortune off it

She deserves it.

13. Picking on SHEEHAN Instead of Picking on the Big Villains - a Choice

That's what Jon STEWERT said to O'LOOFAH: "You don't 'look out for the little guy'! You always pick the BIG BAD GUYS to flack for. You don't pick this little person who lost a son, you pick the NeoCons."

[sabra]

16. here book is primarily a collection of journal entries

while @ camp casey...

I will purchase the book.

[Lex]

18. Do you ask that of all authors? About the proceeds?

She's given a son.

What else would have her give?
