COMMENT FROM A CONSERVATIVE AFTER CINDY'S APPEARANCE ON THE POWER HOUR:


  Thank you for your time. I am hearing you on a replay of The Power Hour with Joyce Riley. Forgive me; I used to vehemently disagree with you, but as I listen to you speak instead of hear media talk abaout you, I think you're making way too much sinse! I respect your stand of civil disobedience as a peaceful tax resistor. I pray for the courage to make a conscientious stand against the IRS as well.
     I am interested in learning more from you. I consider myself a conservative (not part of the "uniparty"), but a Christian first. I want to support good & not bad.
     I hope to hear you again soon.

Turkey Trotting for Charity by Cindy Sheehan

As a vegetarian and acknowledging that necessities like food and shelter are human rights and a compassionate society would spend more on social safety nets than war and tax breaks and concessions for corporations and the wealthy, I ran in my 3rd Turkey Trot race for charity on Thanksgiving morning.

Not only is it a great way to start a weekend of culinary and materialistic gluttony, but the annual race raises about 40-50k for four charities that provide food and shelter to the disadvantaged of Solano County.

Before the big race.

Goofy for Charity!

Architect of Change: Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov, 2014

Minerva the Roman Goddess of Wisdom (and War--since there is absolutely NO wisdom in war, I don't know how that works) is featured on the California State Seal. She was put on the seal, because California's entry to the union was fast-tracked because of the discovery of gold and "sprung from the head" of empire, as Minerva sprung, fully-formed, from the head of her father Jupiter. As a history major in college, I heavily concentrated on California history: the good, bad and sometimes VERY ugly.

While waiting for a flight one early morning at the airport in Sacramento, I wandered through an exhibit from the California History Museum and came upon the above pictured piece and found her interesting. I have never seen Minerva represented at the "Architect of Change," but the idea intrigued me.

California is allegedly progressive, but we have long been under the domination of the white-male Demo-Publican paradigm. Why have we never had a female governor, nor a person of color since Californio Romualdo Pacheco in 1875? To me, California is sinking in the mire of the status quo and the only thing that can save the state for the 99.9% of us is a true Architect of Change.

Positive change does not come about by supporting the same policies and people who have led us into the swamp. California needs new blood, new ideas, new energy and someone who is dedicated to the people and not the once-mighty buck.

Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov, 2014, is that campaign. We are running on an EPIC (End Poverty In California) platform and invite you to check out the website for the campaign and the platform of the Peace and Freedom Party.

Revolution and Pie: Cindy Sheehan's Vegan/Organic Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Revolution and Pumpkin Pie

Cindy Sheehan

Some may know me as an anti-war activist who was “activated” after the murder (J’accuse l’empire) of my son Casey Sheehan in Iraq. Some may even know that I am a revolutionary that (among other things) advocates for a grassroots, peaceful revolution to wrest control from that empire to the people. How does “home cooking” jive with that?

In this nation of fast-foodaholics, I am into the “slow-food” movement and eating as close to the original food as possible. No processed/fast food shall cross my lips, mostly because it’s healthier, but partly because I don’t want my valuable cash money to go to support Monsanto, Big Ag, and Big Food Conglomerates.

I am also vegan, so I am constantly searching for yummy vegan alternatives to processed food that use animal products. To this end, I am happy to share my delicious vegan, organic recipe for Pumpkin Pie, a seasonal favorite.

Anyway, this is how: Choose an organic pie pumpkin (obtainable at Trader Joes). One is plenty for one pie—you may be able to stretch the pulp for two, or have some left over for custard.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin, as one would do if you were getting ready to carve it. (NOTE: We tried to grow our own pumpkins this season, but the blossoms did not get pollinated, unfortunately...)

Scoop out as much of the innards as possible, and set aside to pick out the seeds to roast in the oven. Cut the cleaned out pumpkin into smaller pieces and then clean the pumpkin detritus out further. (Oh, while you are doing all this, preheat your oven to 350).

Roast the pieces (skin down) on a shallow roasting pan at 350 for 55 minutes until the pieces are fork-tender. (No oil is needed for the roasting.) The above process is incredibly easy and fills your home with scrumptious smells.

Now it's easy to separate the pumpkin skin from the pulp. Do so, and put into a food processor or blender with about ½ cup of almond (or other alternative) milk.

Puree the pumpkin until smooth, leave about 2 ½ cups of the puree in the processor/blender, and then add:

1/4-cup organic brown sugar

1/4 pure maple syrup

1/4 cup of silken tofu

2 tbsp. vanilla

3 tbsp. cornstarch

ground cinnamon (to taste)

ground nutmeg (to taste)

ground ginger (to taste)

Mix all together until smooth, pour into pie crust of your choice (or into a baking dish, sans crust) and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes (until knife inserted in middle comes out clean).

Let cool, then EAT IT!

Whip some coconut cream with cane sugar (or whatever sugar you use) for a delicious vegan topping.

Note: Libby’s, which has a corner on canned pumpkin pie filling market, is a division of Nestle. Among other evil things that Nestle does, a former CEO of one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, claims that access to water is NOT a human right. Make your own filling, it’s

End Poverty in California: EPIC (WORKING FOR A PEOPLE'S POWER ECONOMY) by Cindy Sheehan

California Governor Jerry Brown is going around the world with one simple, yet profoundly wrong message, "California is Back." The problems with this statement is that it is false and that Jerry Brown is obviously out of touch with the people of the state that he "governs."

Despite the fact that California is only "back" for Brown's friends and cronies in such industries as Big Oil and Privatized Prisons, asked on NPR about the conundrum of Brown lying that California is back and the high poverty and jobless rates, Brown said the fault lies with, "So, yeah, it's (poverty) there, but it's really the flip side of California's incredible attractiveness and prosperity." Are you tired of constantly being on that "flip side?" Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov wants California to be back for 100% of our population, not just Brown and his ilk.

How can WE End Poverty In California? First, we must defeat the lies and propaganda of the two political parties that dominate the conversation. Ask yourself: How is MY economy? How am I doing? Has Brown's "plan" made me economically secure, or am I barely keeping my head above water in this rat-race struggle? If you feel increasingly left-out of the "incredible attactiveness and prosperity" of Brown's California, join me in our EPIC campaign for peace and prosperity for all.

Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov calls for a living wage for all jobs and gradual and increasing worker control of the means of production. Instead of the 1% owning a vast majority of the wealth and resources of the state, 100% of us should control/own 100% of the wealth and resources. The 1% can and should be absorbed into this People's Power Economy.

Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov would work with community councils on issues that every community tragically faces in Brown's economy, like the growing homeless population and cutback of mental and physical health services. Communities, using budget councils comprised of citizens will have wider latitude in planning their own budgets to meet the needs of the people who live (indoors and out) in our towns.

Recognizing that health care is a human right and not privilege for those 1% parasites, Cindy for Cal Gov calls for Medi-Cal for all--everyone in, no one out.

The income disparity that Brown cries huge crocodile tears over is due, in no small part, to the disparity of access to education. According to the California Budget Project, our state spends 60k per prisoner per year (how much of that really "trickles down" to each prisoner?) and less than 9k per year per k-12 student. California colleges and universities are pricing students of the 99% out of the right to a higher education. We call for a return to a system where pre-school to 12th grade is fully-funded and programs like art, music, drama, and sports (not just football) are available and free to all students. Where would the money come from? Release those 44% of prisoners that have been deemed to have zero chance of recidivism and end the practice of devoting millions of our state's precious dollars to prisons for profit like Correction's Corporation of America. California is near the bottom in measurable standards for education and, if this program is followed, we could be at the top again.

Energy production and control of natural resources is a huge issue. The exploration and extraction of fossil fuels is destroying the delicate balance of our eco-system and worker control is essential for safety and to make a quick transition from fossil fuels and nuclear power to cleaner and renewable sources of energy. No worker wants to be blown up at work, nor does he/she want the planet destroyed for his/her children or grandchildren.

Resources devoted to giving Big Oil tax breaks will be devoted to this transition AND to expanding low/no cost public transportation.

Last, but not least, healthy, organic and GMO-free, food production is essential to a healthy economy and healthy state. Monsanto and Big Agra have no place in our food-production and the land will be returned to the people and collectives for healthier production and more prosperity for our farmers.

The above is a thumbnail sketch of our EPIC campaign, and the campaign feels that a successful campaign is one where we hear from YOU and is diverse and energetic. This campaign is OUR campaign. Brown and the 1% cannot be defeated unless we work together.
