Cindy Sheehan & Others Protest Drones at CIA & Cheney's 1/16
WASHINGTON - January 15 - There is a new peace coalition in town called Peace of the Action.
Peace of the Action is the brainchild of Peace Mom, Cindy Sheehan, who has been striving to make the concept of peace a reality since her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in April 2004.
“Peace of the Action will be setting up Camp Out Now on the lawn of the Washington Monument beginning March 13th and this new peace camp will be the launching pad for daily direct actions against the seat of our government; A government that is involved in so many wars, invasions, bombings and other foreign violence that it is hard to keep track.”
When asked if it is “legal” to set up Camp in Washington, DC, Ms. Sheehan was emphatic in stating, “Camping on the lawn of the Washington Monument has ‘questionable’ legality but our actions have absolute moral authority; just as the state’s actions have apparent legality, but inherent immorality.”
Peace of the Action is sponsoring one event this weekend:
SATURDAY, JANUARY 16th: Protest the murderous CIA drone-bombing program in front of CIA HQ in Langley, VA from 1-4. Speakers include Cindy Sheehan; former Green Party Presidential Candidate, Cynthia McKinney; three-timeNobel Peace Prize Nominee, Kathy Kelly; Debra Sweet, National Director of World Can't Wait and many others. The protest will conclude with a march to former Vice President, Dick Cheney’s new home in Langley and an attempted “Citizens Arrest,” for the charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO REQUEST INTERVIEWS,

Show Allgood! i'm glad to see the protestors have awakened from their hypnosis that obama induced on january 20, 2009. no racist, i would call obama a neo-tom, because his race and amiable manner serve to divert the toilers from the crimes of the masters, who in 2009 are the generals and wall streeters who have the run of the plantation. under the magnolia tree sits obama, who with barely a grimace fetches them the money and weapons for their ventures. obama's election served to shield the power structure from war protests. after the people happily elected their neo-tom, they basked in self-congratulatory tributes to racial equality in america. obama voters were like the poor blacks on the south georgia farms, who in 1991 urged u.s. senators to stop their "high tech-lynching" of clarence thomas and elevate him to the u.s. supreme court. then and now, symbolism trumps substance. but, since obama is nothing but w's slightly darker cousin, nothing changed. the two solid electoral triumphs of 2006 and 2008 mattered not, as the democrats had no gumption to follow up on their mandates. now, the democrats tremble before the least popular political figure in america, dick cheney, in whose wake obama flinches and cowers. did the media ever report that cheney's opponent in the 2004 new hampshire vice presidential primary got nearly 39% of the vote? the guy had no money and had never held an office! but, somehow the "liberal media" neglected to report this rather astounding development.
Unka 'Bomb, indeed: where's the shred of legality, much less HUMANITY in his camping armed US dupes out Across THE GLOBE?
Cindy Sheehan for president!
She would also make an excellent attorney general.
Even worse than the Drones are the war criminals that make those Helfire Missiles.
