U.S. Troops Out of Iraq Now!

Last week, Gold Star Families for Peace co-founder Cindy Sheehan traveled to Crawford, Texas to pay a visit to George Bush at his vacation ranch. Cindy’s son Casey was killed in action in Iraq on April 4th, 2004. Cindy is currently camped on the side of a road a few miles from the ranch and plans to stay until Bush “tells me why my son died in Iraq. I’ve got the whole month of August off, and so does he.” Cindy has been informed that on Thursday, she and her companions will be arrested if they do not leave, as they would reportedly be considered a "national security threat" as Rice and Rumsfeld plan to visit the ranch on Friday.

Support Cindy!

Emergency Rally to Support
Cindy Sheehan

Tuesday, August 16, 5:30 to 6:30 PM
Southeast corner of Shaw & Blackstone

This courageous mother of a fallen soldier,
Casey Sheehan, is camped outside George
Bush’s ranch demanding an explanation of
the “noble cause” for which he claims her son
was killed. The country is watching. The
time to show your support is now.

Support Cindy this Tuesday in saying

End the Occupation of Iraq!

Bring our troops home NOW!

We even had a pro-Cindy vigil in Castro Valley yesterday! It would be nice if we could have this spread in every town and city for the duration of Bush's and Cindy confrontation.
