		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the article Cindy.
For someone, anyone, to wish to vote for Bush, because he&#039;s pro life is preposterous! Bush and his minions are responsible not only for the deaths of our own brave soldiers, but hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens! All
for an illegal war to steal Iraqi oil! Bush is a war criminal! He is also guilty of treason for the assults his administration has made on our Constitution!
His lies and sleazy actions require that he and his administration be impeached immediatly!
I agree completely with everything that Cindy wrote in this article. As far as Nanct Pelosi is concerned. I have tried to contact Pelosi with letters, emails, and phone calls, and received no response at all.

Pelosi is no leader! She is a political hack, and supporter of the Bush crime family agenda! She is no representative of the constituants who put her into office! She is a power hungry politician who will do whatever she thinks it will take to keep her job! She cares not one whit about the American People, and is in violation of the oath she took to uphold and protect the constitution! She should be removed as speaker for her illegal stance of taking impeachment of this criminal administration off the table. That action alone is a violation against the constitution, which demands impeachment, to remove an administration that is breaking the law in plain view!

Shame on you Ms. Speaker! You are a disgrace, and an embarassment to the Democratic Party who put you in office! Do the right thing and tender your resignation, which in my estimation, is long overdue! It’s time to have someone in government who actually represents the citizens of this country, rather than out of control, war profiteering corporations, and an imperial presidency!

To Cindy Sheehan: Keep up the good work! You can count on my vote!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Living in San Francisco, I am so proud that I have had a few chances to help out Cindy&#039;s congressional campaign effort.  Her campaign certainly helped me out!  Last December, I was out of work-- and they employed me enough to help me to get to a better job.

It never made the news, but her campaign office was recently flooded by bad plumbing.  

I stopped by briefly today just to say hello,  and the place was dry and getting back to normal:  volunteers were happily painting signs and working on other tasks, some mundane-- but so necessary.

It wouldn&#039;t matter if I lived elsewhere.  I would still try to find a way to help her out.  

Cindy  constantly amazes me-- she is not loquatious.  She is a good listener however.  She also has an excellent memory, and never misses anything important.  Her devoted sister Dede, who is chief grip for operations, is similar, except I might say she never misses anything, period. That reminds me-- she lent me twenty bucks-- and I need to pay her back!  She&#039;s never mentioned it.

It was no error of his when the former CIA analyst turned dissentor Ray McGovern declared it was observing the courage of women like Cindy that inspired him the most.

Tiffany Burns, mentioned in Cindy&#039;s essay, is utterly devoted to Cindy&#039;s cause and works very hard for her.  I took a photo of her that I really like which I posted at my flickr site.  The photo shows her in pensive mood, no doubt thinking of what she can do to help make Cindy&#039;s campaign a success. Her face looks to me like it could have been a model for the painter Goya who was as renowned for his beautiful portraits as for his indignant works against... war... and all evils that ravage and destroy beauty.   http://tinyurl.com/32uxgk

What I especially like about the people who are working for Cindy is that they are all transparent.  One knows exactly where they  &quot;are coming from&quot;.  Their plan is to win the election in November, but they will not do it by hook or crook.  Their deal is simple: they stand by the truth and are guided by right.  (Cindy is not keen on gimmicky protests and events either.  She definitely likes to keep dialog and speeches real.) 

I like what Cindy writes here, which is simply (like most of her writing) about making right choices.  

Everyone deserves basic  human rights-- the most primary right being (of course) the opportunity to live.

Her ideas remind me of the economist Doug Dowd&#039;s.  http://www.dougdowd.org/

Life for everyone should be full and joyful-- what an alternative to what existence is like for most people on our modest, but miraculous planet!

And what responsibility or plan could be more important than to work in some way toward achieving that?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bush is pro-life, it&#039;s just that he&#039;s MORE pro-death when it comes to American troops, the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, maybe Iran, Syria, etc., etc. Oh yes, and all those people on Death Row in Texas that he so gleefully put to death and mocked. &#039;W&#039; is &#039;pro-Bush-life&#039;. Pretty much everyone else gets the finger.

My best to Cindy Sheehan and every other principled American.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ignorance is:  Since when is Hugo Chavez a dictator?  (Since when does a Republican tell the truth?)  I believe Cindy is doing the best she can to bring some accountability to the people who have created a monsterous amount of death and misery, misery that is not in service of much else but ego and the almighty American dollar.  Funny how people who get up off their butts and take some action are so ringingly criticized by those who spend their time on the couch listening to Fake News.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks and God bless, Cindy!
I wish we weren&#039;t a single paycheck household struggling as many more materially advantaged households are, so we could donate to your campaign, ut our prayers are with you.
i do wonder, however, that we no longer hear you on Air America, the Ed Schultz Show, or the Stephanie Miller Show, etc. 
Now it couldn&#039;t be because the alleged progressive talk radio culture actually aspires to be for the Democrat Party what the Fox News Channel has been for the Republican Party, could it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since Hurricane Katrina wiped Cindy $heehan out of the headlines in August 2005, she wont give up the spotlight. After that she wrote her book, then she pulled the State of the Union stunt with the t-shirt incident, then she embraced dictator, free speech quasher Hugo Chavez, then she went on a hunger strike which lasted somewhere around 6 hours, then she announced her retirement from the peace movement, only to announce 5 weeks later her candidacy for Pelosi&#039;s seat in Congress. Question is, what will she do after losing her campaign? Maybe a reality show like the Surreal Life with Cindy, President Bush after leaving the White House, Mini Me from Austin Powers and Flava Flav. Cindy, is this really about Casey anymore? Or is it about media attention and financial profit? I think the latter. My vote is going to Pelosi this November.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When was the last time you saw an essay written on human needs, on justice for all, on the unconscionable price we all pay for eternal war, by ethically and morally vacuous politicians like Pelosi, Feinstein, Clinton, or Obama?  Cindy Sheehan brings her agenda and platform to the people, instead of cloaking it in the prevarications, mendacity, and deceit so characteristic of corporate-owned and operated  misrepresentatives of human needs.  Yet the so-called progressive media faun over these political pretenders and murderers as if they were somehow capable of even a miniscule departure from the status quo: this goes for The Regressive, The DamNation, In These Slimes, HuffandPuffington Toast, Daily Gross, and Mother#!$%#ing Jones. If one can&#039;t support Cindy Sheehan on principle alone, then that one must surely lack any principles whatsoever.]]></description>
