DRANT #242: ON THE ROAD WITH CINDY SHEEHAN

A quick note from the road -
Cindy Sheehan is travelling across the red states of the south, in the belly of the beast as Che so famously said-
She is not only NOT preaching to the choir, she is increasingly facing confrontational opposition from various groups, including the proto Brown shirts "Gathering of Eagles" -- a Vietnam Vet Motorcycle gang to whom I introduced you all when I wrote about the DC action March 07.
Cindy is out there in an RV, facing them, and facing the cops, and facing the truth and telling it.
Where the HELL are YOU ?
Do you think this is going to go away by itself, like some historic athlete's foot ?

The Democrats put on a disgraceful charade last night-
YakYakYak all night long- as if - as if they couldn't shut this war down in eight minutes of yelling NO.
As if we're stupid enough to believe their onanistic puppet show.
Here's the schedule for the next week or so.
We need you. We need your ass on the line.
We need help.
You can join, and DO something, or you can sit back, and figure out another reason why you have something better to do.
There is no more time -- and no other means.
Join Us.
Send this information to everyone you can.
Or, we can do nothing.
They're counting on it.
