Thank you Cindy for all of your hard work and many sacrifices. As I write this it is 602 days until Dick and W are out of office. Hopefully your voice has changed enough minds to put a person in the White House with an IQ higher than 2 digits that will bring an end to the illegal bloodbath in Iraq.

Ms. Sheenan,

We have greatly admired your energy and perseverance from a distance -- as we have joined marches -- even before the American assault began -- protesting Bush's prediliction to wage an unnecessary war.

A few months ago we began voicing our rejection, to our Colorado representatives, for additional war funding. Our federal representatives include two Democrats who both voted with their Republican colleague to continue to fund the war. A Democrat disgrace in our opinion.

YOU HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG AND YOUR EFFORT TO DRAW ATTENTION AND SUPPORT FOR ENDING THE WAR HAS BEEN FLAWLESS. Thank you for your enormous personal sacrifices on behalf of a struggling nation.

Cindy,
I always read your articles whenever they came along on Common Dreams (which often focuses more on our common nightmares). Your writing always had a quality of Hope because of the Truth they carried, and because they were an honest sharing of your process in a stream that feeds into an ocean. Now is a good time to reflect on the quiet revolution that is occurring on the planet, while individuals heal their lives and cultivate their own gardens, focusing their intention and attention on One-ness. The magnificent and wonderful interconnection of all Life.
We can prepare our hearts and experience the Truth when we decide to connect with it. It is not enough to protest error-- better to allow harmony. The spiritual revolution is where we will find our Power. Like Buddah did, like Jesus, all the avatars...

Thank you, Cindy, and all my brothers and sisters for being Peace.

Cindy, I am an Indian. I have been following your crusade with much admiration. Please remember one thing: because 30-35% idiots, mind controlled,thoughtless Americans keep voting criminals to power, elections after elections, so long as this goes on no one can live in peace. Not one human or life form on this planet. You have in you simple ways shown a way forward. You have the guts, the resilience, the tenacity to take on these criminals. May you be at peace.

The world needs 50.1% Cindy Sheehans to insure that criminals are not voted to power in DC. You have shown the way forward; it is up to the rest to do their bits. Thank you Cindy.

Dear Cindy Sheehan,

Thank you for sacrificing so much of your time for a cause that is morally just. You and Medea Benjamin are two people I admire for your relentless pursuit in saving our democracy from the morally corrupt warmongers and liars.
You are an American Hero.

Thank you and Peace and happiness to you and your family,

Richard

Thank you, Dear Cindy!
Throughout all this madness, your voice has been heard--strong, courageous, and true. You have never wavered from your message. You have never lost your integrity. You have not sold your soul to a cult of personality.

Instead, you have inspired and given voice to a nation of people who are intentionally ignored, put down, and marginalized by those in power.

We form a different nation. If we could, we might choose to unite and secede from the prevailing corrupt and dying nation we live in and form a parallel nation based on values that promote the common good.

I hope this is not the last we hear from you. I hope you see all these comments and realize the breadth of your influence. YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!

I consider you a prophet for our time--a messenger of truth, defamed and dishonored in an arena of hatred and greed. May God bless you & your family and grant you a healing respite from your/our struggle.

I wish Cindy would change her mind but I understand the pressure she has endured.The ONLY American willing to stand up and be COUNTED.The rest are just content to talk about Impeachment and all the rest of it.Pelosi is perhaps our greatest mistake and letdown right now.No backbone.We gave her the tools,the power,she chose to abstain,shame,shame.

I only hope that Cindy does as many NFL coaches before her have done and come out of retirement when you are recharged and the time is right (2008). Sure, the Dems are the losers we all thought they would be but I think we should stand on the peace platform and use justice as our Powerpoint to present the next election. Force them to jump on our wagon of solace, and start to reclaim our rightful place in this crumbling republic...

Cindy failed to generate momentum because she was inarticulate and she talked too much.

**erm--she was actually a very articulate speaker--I think that was her problem. She talked about things that made the regressive Democrats and other like minded idiots nervous or angry.

To FleetoCanadaNow I say Bull****! Cindy did the peace movement no harm. She is NOT childish, and she has NOT done "more harm than good!" Shame on you for even thinking that, let alone articulating it.

Do you understand her pain? Her frustration? What she has sacrificed? Have you been so unfortunate as to lose your beloved child to this incredibly unjust war, for this incredibly ridiculous president and his administration?

If you have not walked in her shoes, if you have not endured what she has had to endure, then just thank your maker that you have been so fortunate. And instead of opining on what Cindy should and should not have done, get off your duff and do something yourself!

And to Cindy, may God bless you. If the rest of us had gotten up off our complacent backsides and worked a little harder for peace and justice (not to mention to protect our Constitution), perhaps we would not now be saddled with a bully-boy president, a wimpy democratic leadership, and a compliant and unjust justice system. You did your best; you did far more than most of us would even have imagined doing, and you did it for all of us. Thank you is far too small a phrase to express my gratitude. You are a hero, Cindy. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

Thank you, Cindy. Sadly Ralph Nader and yourself were ahead of your time. I have been convinced some time ago of the corporate Democrats(DLC) complicity with Republicans. I am a Democrat, but now I am questioning my loyalty to the party. I still believe they are our only hope. Those of us who want our party back need to purge it of right leaning Democrats. Cindy is right. We true blue progressives need to stand up to the corporate Democrats if we are to hope to have any chance of reclaiming America's glory. We cannot be afraid to challenge our leadership on these important issues. I wish the Democratic leadership had the courage of their stated convictions, but it is also true, as Thom Hartmann correctly states daily on his show, we have to start the parade. Politicians are creatures of inside the beltway politics, run by pollsters and strategists, and they will get behind the parade if we lead it. Outside of a few, like Russ Feingold and Bernie Sanders in the Senate and a few in the house, they depend on these people to decide policy. We have to return them to retail politics again if we are to have any chance at all of changing the status quo.

Thank you, Cindy, for having been the best kind of role model the peace movement could hope for. The needed regime change in our country is, sadly, a long way off. If Vietnam can be used as a case in point, it will take a lot more body bags than what have come home so far to get the silent and complicit majority off their collective derrières to protest.

Good luck Cindy and thanks for what you have done but the answer is not for the rest of us to give up. I'm a WWII veteran and my generation doesn't know what give up is. If we had given up like some of you are suggesting you wouldn't be living in America now. I'm sure Cindy is worn out and in need of rest which she deserves but the rest of us can never give up. Remember liars and cheaters may look like they are winning and can cause all kinds of grief like this most corrupt administration and some Democrats have gone along with, but in the end they won't win unless we let them. There are only 535 in Congress surely we millions can defeat them.

Dear Cindy:
My heart aches for you bearing the greatest loss a parent can suffer. We have always been with you, but seldom showed it. Though quick to react, we don't seem to take the time to support and encourage you who are fighting for us. You set the example and because of you we are less complacent about far away conflicts and their sources. Rest easy knowing you have done way more than anyone can imagine against incredible odds. The fight continues. Yours will be more in these pages than on our streets, I hope.

Thanks Cindy, you did all you could. We won't forget you.

Thanks Cindy. You represented so many of us who did not have a voice in this monstrous war. You did not fail your son because you championed a cause that has millions of followers. Your fight will go on, but others must carry the burden. I too am a disillusioned Democrat, so ashamed of a party that puts Hillary at the top of its list of candidates to replace George the buffoon. I vowed in 2003 that I would not vote for a Democrat or any candidate who supported this war, and I will keep that vow. As for you, please know that you have been a source of strength and inspiration to so many of us.

God Bless you Cindy! May you find all the peace and love you deserve. And given what you've given to the world in the last three years, you deserve a lot of both!

And never trust a Democrat.

Of course Cindy Sheehan has done great work, but I have a somewhat contrarian view: because of all of the wonderful things she has done, we sometimes forget she has been a peace activist for a matter of years. But the work of bringing peace is a lifetime endeavor, probably to be passed on to our children and theirs. That's not to say the we can't win important short-term battles, like ending the war in Iraq. Furthermore, the fact that the Democratic party is not a party of peace and principle is not news -- and Cindy is certainly right that they need to be pressured at least as much as the Republicans do if we are to end the war in Iraq. But the faults of the Democratic Party didn't stop major movements from ending the war in Vietnam, passing historic civil rights measures, chasing Lyndon Johnson from the White House, opening the eyes of the world to the need for environmental action, challenging male domination in society at large and in major social movements, or helping the people of South Africa to end apartheid, and ending and beginning to reverse Reagan's nuclear buildup, to mention a few examples. Many of these "victories" are unfinished, but that's all the more reason to stay in it for the long haul. It is possible to work for peace and justice without being the "face" of a movement or making the level of personal sacrifice that Cindy Sheehan has done -- it's not an all or nothing affair, and to think that it is will de-mobilize people who may want to pitch in at whatever level they are comfortable doing so. I am hoping that Cindy will take a break and consider some level of involvement thereafter, perhaps less stressful and all-out than the tremendous work she has done so far. She is sadly right that there are those in the peace movement who can be divisive and turf-conscious; but the goals of the movement are too important to give up on that score. As for those who have insulted her for her fine work, they should be ashamed of themselves!

Dear Cindy,
I thank you with all my heart for everything you have sacrificed for us all. I think that in the future we should use Memorial Day to honor those such as you who have fought for our country (and our world) by fighting for peace. You are wise to take some time now to heal and to discern where your great soul will take you next. I am happy that you are doing that.

I, too, was in despair about the war this Memorial Day weekend. I had just read an article in Utne Reader that pointed out how ineffective nonviolent resistance has been throughout history in ending wars and oppression. But I was comforted by some words of my brother, who has been a Buddhist for many years. I share them with you in case they can be a comfort to you as well. He said that Buddhists know that the human condition continually gives rise to the three great evils: greed, hatred and ignorance. (And what is war but the outcome of these three combined?) We are not responsible for the success of our actions, according to the way that the world (or the left) defines success. We are only responsible for a continuing moment by moment effort to overcome greed, hatred and ignorance, in ourselves and in our world, taking such actions as our minds and hearts direct us. We are not called to destroy ourselves in this effort but simply to do the best that we can. We cannot see the powerful effect of our actions of selflessness, love and truth most of the time. But the effect nevertheless is there, and is extraordinarily powerful, and ultimately, is all that matters. You have acted out of selflessness, love and truth magnificently, and I know you will continue to do so. God speed, dear sister.

[For Cindy, a pilgrim on the Human road.]

And the pilgrim asked his god…

"When we speak of waging war, Lord,
should we not, more loudly yet,
consider fostering a peace?
Shoud we not, in the marrow of our
living bone, feel great stabs of shame
for having entertained so primitive
a notion?

"When we wage the war, Lord,
should we not reel in horror,
should we not weep in utter disbelief
at the depth of hate
and fear
and violence
and insecurity
to which we find ourselves capable
of descending;
should we not stand aghast
against this failure to communicate
our greatest gift,
should we not beg forgiveness
against this grave neglect
of the one true inheritance
which sets us apart from all your
wondrous creatures?

"And should we not, then, Lord,
return this gift you've given,
humbly place it at a distance
from ourselves, offer it to ones
who may, perchance, appreciate
the significance of its unsurpassable
potential?

"When we perpetuate the war, Lord,
And fail to even visualize a Peace,
can we claim to be intelligent,
can we claim to be adept,
can we claim to skim the surface
of but your shallowest perceptions?

"When we mock and shun and slander
PEACE, Lord,
do we not deny ourselves
and all our kind
and all the progeny hereafter
the very promise
of our
Human
Virtue?"

Dear Ms. Sheehan (I can't call a mother of adult children by her first name, that's just the way I was raised),

First of all I hope you are doing well. Grieving is a long process, and I know of few others whose grieving has been submitted to so much scrutiny and outright critcism by people who should know better.

You fear that Casey has died for nothing; on the contrary, you have given his death meaning, by not relenting even in the face of such viciousness. I will always remember the sense of hope and pride that I felt in the summer of 2005, when someone was finally telling the truth to the face of power.

I am beyond ashamed at the actions of the Democrats, especially those who have turned on you personally. Each slam on you was another blow against the already crumbling credibility of the Democratic Party.

The lady's got a right to look after her own family now.

The way I see it she fought the good fight.

Me? I'm an outsider, but maybe you ought to ask yourself, WWVD?

What Will Vern Do?

I'm just sayin'...

Dear Cindy...

In March, 2007, Military Families Speak Out and Supporters awarded YOU an Oscar for Peace...for all that you have done for the PEACE movement. I was there that day, on the corner of Hollywood and Vine as an MSFO supporter...I nominated YOU for that PEACE award, Cindy. You are my hero, my role model for strength, for telling it like it is, for bravery, and spunk, for holding your head up high, even when you want to break down and sob...for your son...who was murdered by a force that seems unstoppable.

You are tired, you have been belittled, you feel that the world is caving in on you. Please, let we, the PEACE community take over for you...for a while...YOU rejuvenate, reflect, count your blessings, love your family, your friends. Reflect on Casey, why he died, and why you started fighting for the truth...."FOR WHAT NOBLE CAUSE, MR. BUSH?" in the first place....Reflect on why you sacrificed so much...FOR YOUR SON, your son, Cindy...and for the countless millions of humans who have/will die(d) in order to pad the already-bulging pocket$$$ of corrupt corporate sociopaths...

Remember Margaret Mead's powerful words, Cindy? "NEVER DOUBT that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

You changed the direction of the PEACE movement, Cindy.
Thank you for being there for humanity.

A > and salute to you...

H.ome!

How can one not be sad at your departure from leading the peace movement. In spite of the warmongers of the political elite of the Former USA you have made a difference. I know not what your country has become. I feel that it has lost itself and what was once called the arsenal of democracy is now in the hands of those who would build a Fourth Reich.

La plus que ca change, le plus que c'est le meme chose.

I, too, have renounced the Dems, much inspired by you, Cindy. You're right - until millions of "attention whores" make enough trouble, our spiral into collapse will continue unabated.

Thank you for your selfless efforts...

Sorry Folks,
Even though I sympathize with Cindy's sentiments, I don't think she is entitled to quit.
Don't accomodate this kind of thinking.
What the hell is the matter with you people, complaining about apathy and giving up, and then encouraging one of the most effective activists of our generation to lay low.

Hey, the hell with that.
The way I see it is Cindy can use this piece to blow off the Dems, but not to lay down and die.

I feel strongly that We the People are living within a broken system. It may be the only way toward change is to invent a way to live that is so much better than what we have that everyone will want to do it...even brain-dead Republicans....Certainly a lovely side effect of that better way to live will be the absence of Democrats, Republicans and any sort of organized religion. Time for us to go direct, without all these middlemen getting their cut.

"Face piles of trials with smiles
It riles them to believe that you perceive the webs they weave,
and keep on thinking free."
--The Moody Blues

With or without Cindy Sheehan, the struggle goes on, and I will do my best to keep trying. We each have our own task, and we can approach it as we see fit, or ignore it all together. This is freedom. This is life. It's as heavy or light as we make it. Smile.

You folks have said it all. I have shaken Cindy's hand, and will never forget my pilgrimage to Camp Casey II. She is an inspiration to millions of Americans, despite what the media may portray.

Now...those of you inspired by Cindy and pissed off at the Democrats in Congress, please consider voting for, running as, or organizing around Green Party candidates next year. We Greens may not be the solution all by ourselves, but the Green Movement can certainly serve as that solution's political arm if enough citizens defect.

You did more than I would in your shoes, Cindy. Let it be somebody else's turn.

Thank you Cindy for your service.

As a movement we need to learn how to honor and appreciate those who serve the peace movement. Those on the front lines of the peace movement and demonstrations are true patriots who need recognition just as those serving at the battle front. Perhaps that is the lesson we can learn from Cindy's resignation.

The making of peace is a service of honor...at least as significant as the service of making war.

Peace,
Greg

Thank you Cindy Sheehan!
My 16 year old son and I discussed who should be the Person of the Year and the first person who popped into our head is you. You are a hero to so many people.

The Sheehan family has given us two heroes.

Casey Sheehan did not become a hero when he died in battle. He became a hero when he raised his hand and swore the soldier's oath to defend the Constitution and obey orders.

Cindy Sheehan did not become a hero when her son was killed. She became a hero when she demanded an explanation for Casey's death from the thieves and liars who sent him to fight, not for the Constitution, but to conquer the oil fields of the Persian Gulf.

Thank you Cindy. You have inspired millions of us to take action, large or small, each in our own way.

Take back you life now and tend to your children. Your contribution has been enough. We will see the job finished and never forget you.

Thank you, Cindy, for showing the world that one courageous person who isn't afraid to speak truth to power can bring about change. Yours was at first the lone voice crying in the wilderness, saying loudly what so many had wanted to say bud didn't know how to get it heard. You figured that out, and the rest is history. The anti-war movement is strong now, and it's largely to your credit that its voice has swelled. We're not done. You deserve a break, a rest, and a chance to retrieve your life. Here's promising we'll carry on with your inspiration in mind.

I met you in Crawford at a rally in November, 2005, handed you some flowers, had my picture taken with you. I'll pass it down to my children with pride.

You are a true hero!

Cindy's journey has taken her through a part of America that few have ever seen first-hand. Our political system and our media system. She is obviously fed up with the political system and seen first hand the media manipulation that takes place in our "free press" country. We should listen to her concerns. She's like a veteran of a war. She has been through a lot and I'm sure that she has gained quite a bit of wisdom that she would gladly share if America would debrief her. Shouldn't we, as a society be asking ourselves what drives an unknown-mid-forties- mid-American mother to leave her cherished suburban home in a rage against her own government? Isn't that a more interesting thing to talk about than who will be the next American Idol.? You want to talk reality television? We may not all like what she has to say but you can't deny her credibility. She personifies what is great about America. A strong belief in our government and the people who run it. She came out of her kitchen to do battle with her government. She's returning home not defeated, only wounded.

But I'm glad to hear that Cindy has given up on politics. It was sad to watch her eaten alive. But, I'm not surprised to hear her say she will continue to fight "trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire". She's only quitting the political process by her quitting the Democratic Party. Which is something I congratulate her on. It's the same thing that several American unions did a few years ago. They recognized that support for the Democratic party was actually hurting rank and file members. They withdrew from the national union and are seeking better ways to help their members than by spending it on elected politicians. The whole notion of two political parties in America a joke. If there were two different parties then we would get two different kinds of government. But all we get is a continuation of the status quo. We change leaders in America but we don't change the system that they operate.
D.C. is corrupt. Some may say just some are corrupt. You know the system is corrupt when people like Cunningham and Abramhof, and countless others, can be major players over a long period of time. In an open honest system those characters would have been stopped. To strangle the real democratic procedure doesn't take much once you throw out honesty. Without honesty the whole process begins to stink. This is what drove Cindy out of politics. It's now wrong to assume that our elected officials will act honorably or in accordance with our Constitution. They want to get reelected, but they need to have money to do that. Here's when personal integrity clashes with the values of today. In our "win at any cost" society it's not surprising that our political system would not remain immune from the poison of such an attitude that has sadly been adopted by so many Americans.
Thanks Cindy for exposing and bringing to the surface more examples of our fraudulent political system and our compliant national corporate media. Your journey was better than any book or movie can be. And I look forward to hearing from you again. Recover and regroup. Moms need to sound off more. Too many years of TV moms need to be balanced with years and years of angry moms. I trust moms to take better care of the house than dads. It would be nice if both worked together. But just like our political system, if there isn't an actual opposition than you have a dictatorship, not a democracy. When the chips are down in America like they are today, I would rather have Cindy as society's mother than June or Jane.

Cindy Sheehan is right in her decisions. She hasn't failed Americans -- we have failed her.

Juan Siglo

If the United States were the size of Spain, it would be the considered crazy cousin of Western Civilization and kept in a shed in back. Good luck, Cindy.

Good luck, Ms. Sheehan. And thank you for sharing your intelligence and your courage.

As much as I might try, it is surely hard to fault this decision. This is exhibit #786595 on the list of lives destroyed by this administration.

Emmett Till's mother, Mamie Till Mobley, also "dropped out" when people turned against her. She was the "face" of the civil rights movement, attended events and spoke out for about two years, and then the movement stopped supporting her. She quietly taught school and spoke to student groups when asked. She never stopped seeking justice for her son, but did so in different ways. A whole new generation took up the cause. A writer wrote a book with her, and a young documentary filmmaker made an award-winning film that lead the State of Mississippi to re-open the case. Let's continue fighting the battle, and let Cindy fight it her own way.

Thanks Cindy. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that my son has nothing whatever to do with the military services or work for the military-industrial complex. I'll be vigilant to make sure no recruiter comes any where close to my son.

Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much for all the energy you have devoted to the cause. Rest, you deserve it. As to our country, I gave up on it a long while ago. As long as we are corporate run, with every state invested in the military-industrial-complex, I don't see a way out. Today I depend on the rest of the world to hold us to account. As a nation, we no longer deserve material or moral support.

Cindy I remember you saying "we're preaching to the choir but not everyone is singing" sadly you were and are right. Thank you for being that one who let her light shine rather than curse the darkness.

Dear Cindy-
Should you read this I want you to know that sooner or later folks will reach the inevitable conclusion that you reached regarding the Democrats. Many of us were banned from Democratic Underground for recognizing the truth beyond partisan politics. You won't be the first to get shot down for being ahead of the curve.

You don't know me Cindy, but I love you.
Take a breather if you need one- if you are burned out, tired, overwhelmed, bullied- but giving up is not an option. There are others out here with you, Cindy and we need to stick together and keep the faith.
It is merely a bump in the road.

Dear Cindy: Thanks for your sacrifice. I particularly remember a Fox interview last year where the woman (pro-neocon?) interviewer tried to tear you apart but you held it together as a dignified American mother, even in the eyes of someone like me who isn't American and doesn't live in the States either. People saw that across the world, and it meant something to them. You can still be that mother to your other children and provide inspiration and guidance to others.

I am glad you weren't just a Democratic party servant and that you have your own views! A lot of the support many of them showed for you was just electioneering anyways. God bless you in your future endeavours - rest, be renewed, and move forward.

Cindy,
Ditto to all of the above. You gave the face of a grieving mother to millions in the US and the world. Sadly that was missing from the anti-war movement. You showed people how war affects families directly,which the anti-war movement was lacking. You gave new life to the movement when the movement peaked too much and burnt out.

Personally, you showed that as individuals we can make a change without adhering to an "ideology" or group. Thank you.

The time for civil action is concluded. The United States is in lockdown. Any civil dissent, brutally crushed by the considerable private resources propping up the current fascist looters.

So consider this a call to the entire military structure. Refuse any further orders and redeploy for the trip home, let them continue their Project for a New Century with just the mercenaries they can pay for.

The enemies foreign were invented to keep you away while the country you love was stolen with barely a whisper to be said about it, but the enemies domestic still have much more damage that they can inflict.

Refuse any further orders from your conspirator in chief. Return and save your homeland while there's still something left.

Cindy, you have blessed all of our lives. never give up never give in. I remind myself every day that if you think you are too small to make adifference then you have never been in bed with a mosquito.

We need to go back the Populist Party that was responsible for so many reforms in this country.I have felt the same frustrations that you so clearly express. We can't trust either party we always have to choose the lesser of 2 evils.We have to do it ourselves. My heart goes out to you. Rest and take care of your self.

Nowoman is required to save the world by destroying herself.

Not sure I understand this letter. Ms. Sheehan you make it sound as if you didn't make a difference, which is completely false. It is people like you that go out and generate our freedoms. Many feel it is the military we need to thank for our freedoms, but that is far from the truth. The military defends our nation against outside aggression—when they're not busy being directed by our government in acts of aggression. You and others like you are the ones who place yourselves on the real front lines. And you do this in the best tradition of true patriots.

I also disagree that your son died in vain. Had your tragedy not occurred, we would not have had the honor of your service to our country. You fought a great wrong, taking on a great sacrifice that many of our troops never experience. You'll not receive medical care, bonuses, education, or even a parade. As with many other great Americans who fought the moral fight for our nation, often against overwhelming odds, no support, and no gratitude when proven right, you will now return home to continue your life. But know that what you did these past few years will continue whether you are there or not. You've done your part, you helped get the ball rolling, and you all accomplished more than you realize. It is time for others continue the mission. The message and truth is out there, but our current media brokers have intentionally kept that from the world.

Your successes and noble fit far transcends the failed mission in Iraq. You have succeeded far beyond what our current administration has accomplished, and you and your supporters have done this without the US taxpayer to support it.

God Bless you Cindy and the voice of reason against any immoral invasion.

What Ms. Sheehan failed to understand is that there IS NO "Demopublican" or "Republicrat" party. There is the "Money" party and the "People" party.

Guess which one most of Congress belongs to? Guess how many of that party are profiting HANDSOMELY from the spilled blood of people like Casey Sheehan?

Stinger_28 is right - with the Money Party's iron heel firmly on the neck of American Democracy, the time for civil action is over. It's up to the military structure and the People now - just don't be too surprised when those mercenaries from Blackwater, Inc. show up in our communities and start shooting us down in the street like stray dogs.

And for all of those who attacked Ms. Sheehan - one of the greatest spokespersons against this ongoing, illegal occupation out of the movement - THANKS for handing the Money Party their greatest victory yet!

You're the same people who would no doubt long for the return of Jesus Christ, then would go right ahead and nail him up again!
