2. I can't go.
I don't have anyone to watch my kids. I did send her some money, though and I am sending her story to every news outlet in the US.

Best I can do from here. Sorry.

6. I am writing to Boxer (my Senator)
Conyers and Kucinich to see if anyone in Congress has the guts to formally come out in support of her by showing up!
Other possibles are Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Charles Rangel...Any others you can think of?
And what about Howard Dean?
I don't know about people like Kerry, and I don't think Hillary would ever consider taking such a precise action.

Cindy just gave the Democrats an incredible opportunity. Will they grab it??

7. The Dems should stay out of it
Cindy's crusade should not be politicized and give the rightwing ammunition to discredit her.

She'd doing fine all by herself.

9. How the Dems can help
When Congress reconvenes, set up a hearing and have her testify.

Let the Repugs not show up, I dare them.

11. I agree except for one point, she needs more people behind her...
Sincerely, she cannot do this herself, the recent actions of the propaganda machine in full force is evidence of that...

I think its time the people took back their country from those who continualy abuse it's very basic principal..."Freedom"

12. She's not alone in Crawford
From the pictures, there's Iraq war veterans against the war, two other mothers of U.S. soldiers against the war and a few other groups.

You can bet the numbers will increase as the weeks go by.

14. I agree and I wish I could be there.
I don't want any "names" to show up because then it becomes all about them. Masses of anonymous folks make a bigger point than a couple of celebrities or politicians.

15. You make a good point, she is a registered republican and has
veterans to support her. Makes it real hard for the Neocons to attack her on any front.

I have sent money though! You can never have enough of that kind of support.

16. I hope you are right...
And of course in my view, this is not political. A few Republicans sitting in with Cindy would be even better!

:)

10. To paraphrase Steven Stills
What a field day for the heat,
Million people in the street.....
