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

Image
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

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

Image
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 E nd P overty I n C alifornia? First, we must defeat the lies and

"I Left My Marbles in San Francisco: The Scandal of Federal Electoral Politricks" by Cindy Sheehan

Image
Like a good American, you trudge to the polls every so often to cast your meaningless vote in pre-ordained Federal elections. Even with much evidence that the elections are bought and paid for by the corporatocracy and manipulated through propaganda, fear and voting machine hanky-panky, we still do it. Why? And, more importantly, what can we do to change the disease-ridden, corrupt cyst-em. With her characteristic honesty and surprising humor, Cindy Sheehan exposes this csyt-em and gives a first-hand account of her two forays into federal electoral "politricking." The book is now out and available on Kindle with signed print books available from Cindy Sheehan.

Comandante Fringe by Cindy Sheehan

Comandante Fringe Cindy Sheehan Sometime last week I was contacted by the USA Today , which is apparently a "newspaper" which caters to the lunatic status quo of this country. The paper contacted me because it received a reader question about whatever happened to me, so the paper did a video response (link below). To summarize: In 2005, I represented a growing opposition to the Iraq War, but now, I "represent a fringe." The kind of "fringe" that believes that "Nancy Pelosi is right wing."  The dude cherry picks some things from the platform of the Peace and Freedom Party (of which I am a proud member and candidate for governor of California) that he believes will offend his readers the most. However, I want to say that it is tragic that we live in a nation where the things that I fight for and believe in are considered "fringe." These are some of the issues that the USA Today did not choose to tell its subscribers:

Lost Cause? Cindy Sheehan for CalGov Demands Fairness from the Media

November 6, 2013 To whom it may concern at the L.A. Times From: Cindy Sheehan, Candidate for Governor of California, Peace and Freedom Party Subject: It would be great if the L.A. Times would cease and desist deliberately mis-informing its readers cc: The People aka The Mis-informed  I know that “Letters to the Editor” have a word limit of 150 words, but I am not writing to the editor, I am writing to not only you at the Times , but the media in general and I want the people of the State of California to be aware of what appears to be a campaign of ignoring a viable candidate for governor, namely, me. I am writing in response to a recent article in your paper ( “ Tea party favorite Tim Donnelly to run for governor, ” Nov. 6, 2013); which, among other things, claims that this Tea Partier California Assembly Rep from SoCal is, “the sole candidate to announce a challenge to Brown.” I am not going to get into Donnelly’s flaw

"Use your head, Cindy" Dr. Helen Caldicott on Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox (PODCAST 11/03/13)

Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox November 3, 2013 "Use your head, Cindy" GUEST: DR. HELEN CALDICOTT TOPIC: FUKUSHIMA COMMUNITY CONFERENCE CALL This past week, Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox hosted a community conference call with Dr. Caldicott who called in from Australia to share her knowledge and wisdom with us. Cindy Sheehan and the Soapbox have been calling for a comprehensive and energetic response to the disaster at Fukushima since it happened. Cindy has been on the front lines in Japan with the people there who have been in the trenches against the Japaneses government and TEPCO and we urgently and loudly demand that the international community set aside its wars and work together for the future of our planet and humankind.   CINDY IN HIROSHIMA: AUGUST 6TH, 2011 During the call, though, Dr. Caldicott was correct: we need a mass movement of people pressuring world "leaders" to devote resources to containing and cleaning Fuku

Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov Stands for Justice and With the Families of Victims of Police Brutality

--> Cindy Sheehan for Cal Gov Stands for Justice With the Families of Victims of Police Brutality Cindy Sheehan Police brutality and the increasing policy of “shoot first, ask questions second, and express fake remorse after the fact” is a very serious problem that needs some serious and thoughtful solutions that serve the people, like the police are supposed to be doing, but are failing in so many instances. More often than not, police officers are not held accountable for their actions and family members are left feeling that they have not and will never get justice for the wrongful murders of their loved ones, who are also disproportionately young men of color, but not always. Cindy Sheehan has long sought justice for the wrongful death of her own son Casey in the illegal and immoral war against the people of Iraq. One of the reforms that Cindy Sheehan’s campaign and future administration would make would be more comprehensive psychological testi
