Cindy Sheehan, American Hero.
George W. Bush , American Zero.
Cindy has seemed to start a movement that is long overdue.I hope it gathers steam. God Bless this woman.

Amen to that!!!

I'll ride that train!

CRAWFORD, Texas - The grieving woman who started an anti-war demonstration near President Bush's ranch nearly two weeks ago left the camp Thursday after learning her mother had had a stroke, but she told supporters the protest would go on.

Cindy Sheehan told reporters she had just received the phone call and was leaving immediately to be with her 74-year-old mother at a Los Angeles hospital.

"I'll be back as soon as possible if it's possible," she said. After hugging some of her supporters, Sheehan and her sister, Deedee Miller, got in a van and left for the Waco airport about 20 miles away.

Sending blundervibes to Cindy's mother...

teary eyed here too...

Cindy, stay strong! We're with you!

amen again, Larry and all.....blundervibes to her Mom and her family......
....left the vigil last night with the most wonderful feeling.....even if we can't stop the war.....we can bring peace to our own hearts.....and she is leading the way.......God blessed us with Cindy.....

Local News Coverage of the vigil from last night... I'm the first interview after the intro... "We all deserve answers"

It's too bad that AWOL George can't make time in his busy schedule to meet Cindy Sheehan. Last Fri., he found plenty of time to have lunch with a wealthy donor who wanted to have lunch with him & flew to Texas special for the ocassion.

I KNOW THIS because the donor is somebody I know very well.

Throwing out some "zap" vibes. Add mine to the probably millions of others going out to Cindy and her Mom. The poor woman's already been through enough!

Way to go Wyld!

I can't get the sound to work - but I know eloquence when I see it.

She sounded really intelligent!

Last Saturday, David Roth was at the Church to do a show. He and George had been talking about Cindy Sheehan, and David was inspired to write and perform a new song:

<I>THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION © 8/13/05 David Roth
written at the Guthrie Center, Great Barrington, MA www.davidrothmusic.com

IN THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE I READ TODAY
OF A TOWN NAMED CRAWFORD TEXAS
THERE’S A BIG LONG ROAD LEADING TO A RANCH
LIMOUSINES GO BACK AND FORTH THERE

THERE’S TINY CROWD GATHERED BY THE ROAD
AND IT’S GAINING IN IT’S NUMBERS
THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS, THEY ARE HOLDING SIGNS
THEY ARE JOINED BY MANY OTHERS

CHORUS
I WILL RAISE MY VOICE JUST BECAUSE I CAN
THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF MY HOMELAND
AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION

AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION

THERE’S A MOTHER MOURNING HER PROUD YOUNG SON
AND SHE STANDS WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
WHO ARE WONDERING WHY ALL THESE GUNS APPEAR
IN THE HANDS OF THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD
THAT IS WORTH SURRENDERING LIVES FOR
I WILL ASK MYSELF, HAVE I DONE ALL I CAN
TO SURRENDER MY AGENDA

CHORUS
I WILL RAISE MY VOICE JUST BECAUSE I CAN
THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF MY HOMELAND
AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION

AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION

THERE’S A BROKEN SPOKE IN THE MIGHTY WHEEL
THERE’S A BOULDER IN THE BOOT
WHEN YOU WALK WHEREVER YOU MIGHT CHOOSE
BE CAREFUL OF YOUR FOOTPRINTS

TO ALL PARENTS OF ALL BRAVE LOST SOULS
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SAY
BUT I’LL RAISE MY VOICE AND DO ALL I CAN
TO WILL THESE WARS AWAY

CHORUS
I WILL RAISE MY VOICE JUST BECAUSE I CAN
THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF MY HOMELAND
AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION

AND I’LL SING TIL ALL OF THE COWS COME HOME
TO THE RANCH OF ALL COMPASSION</I>
..............
Thank you David!

Thanks Wyld............what beautiful lyrics!
I mean what more can she lose? She's lost a child...........
She said she doesn't mind being a sacrificial lamb for the peace movement. Maybe the tide will begin to turn now and there will be hope for us to wake up from this nightmare.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Iraq war protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch got some support Sunday night from a prominent figure in the anti-Vietnam war movement: folk singer Joan Baez.

"In the first march I went to (opposing Vietnam) there were 10 of us. This is huge," Baez told relatives of fallen U.S. soldiers Sunday before performing a free concert just up the road from the ranch.

Great stuff on MM's site, especially in the Must Read column.... day 14, Hypocrites and liars...... a message from Cindy Sheehan.

There's also photos of Joan's visit.
