Cindy Sheehan on Hunger Strike at the White House

We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch, we’ve even gone to jail, now it’s time to do more”

“This war is a crime,” the icon mother told a crowd of clapping, cheering protesters.

We represent millions of Americans who withdraw their support from this government.”

Millions of American have just watched in disgust as our congress ignored the will of the American people and voted against setting a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Who exactly are they representing and what course of action do ‘we the people’ have at this point?

Cindy Sheehan has began a hunger strike at the White House and is pledging to stay as long as it takes until our government does right by our troops and the Iraqi people and returns US troops from Iraq immediately. If you browse around the net however, you wouldn’t even know that she and 150 patriots are camped out in direct confrontation of Bush and his policies. Cindy is providing the spark, but she needs our help to spread the word and raise the volume of our demands for justice.

Cindy needs our support to stop this war now. It is time to start asking questions of everyone who still supports these war crimes, starting with your ‘representative’ and senators.

When discussing the 4th of July with friends and family, perhaps now is the time to gently remind them of the meaning of the holiday.

Sheehan said just because Tuesday is the 4th of July does not mean we should be celebrating.

“Everybody needs to stand up, go out of their comfort zone,” Sheehan said. “And I don’t understand how people can party tomorrow while people are suffering.”

Don’t just sympathize, open the window and yell,
“We’re mad as hell and we’re not taking it anymore!”
