Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox

FOR IMMEDIATE RELASE CONTACT: DEDE MILLER 562 500 9072 DEDE4PEACE@GMAIL.COM Cindy Sheehan, Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox and the Soapbox People's Network announce a joint effort in Washington DC opposing the wars and spreading police state. Such diverse organizations as World Can't Wait and Military Families Speak Out have endorsed the action. The four day action will involve components of community building, protest, education, and planning for a future of protesting wars that will be more diverse, powerful, strategic, and, most of all effective. Speaking from her home in Vacaville, CA; peace activist and human rights advocate Cindy Sheehan had this to say: "Organizing against the wars has been challenging during the Obama administration because so many people who would identify as 'antiwar' misplaced a lot of hope in Obama ending the wars. As a matter of fact, Obama has expanded the wars abroad, drone bombing, assassinations of US citizens without tria

Casey vs. Kyle Cindy Sheehan "I only wish I had killed more." Navy Seal and American Shame (Sniper), Chris Kyle “I can’t kill anyone.” US working-class soldier before his short deployment to Iraq, Casey Sheehan Casey and his Mom This is something that I don’t want to revisit—I never want to relive the worst experience of my life. However, with the 11 th anniversary of my son’s death in Iraq on 04/04/04 approaching and the new “blockbuster” infecting movie screens around the world, I really must get this off of my chest. Most citizens of this nation are without a doubt addicted to wars and war “heroes” without stopping for more than a few cursory seconds to count the costs or evaluate the propaganda. I despair that a movie like American Sniper grossed over 105 million at the box office over the weekend where we are supposed to be commemorating the birth of a man of peace, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Everything in American Sniper

--> Hollywood Warnography Cindy Sheehan Susan Sarandon and Cindy at protest in front of White House in 2006 With full disclosure, I have not seen director Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper and furthermore, I have zero plans to do so. I have also never had bamboo shoots jammed into my fingernails, but I have a feeling that procedure would also be painful and vile. The film is based on the sniper’s book of the same name. The sniper’s name was Chris Kyle and as most of us know, he was ironically murdered by a young vet on a gun range—something about those who “live by the sword” and such. Besides Kyle’s apparent glee and pride in murdering people in his role in the illegal, unwarranted, inhumane, and bullshit war in Iraq, the only other thing I need to know about him is that he called the Iraqi people “savages.” Even some members of the US “antiwar” movement seem to care more about the lives of The Troops™ than the innocents put in harm’s way by the policies

I am really proud of the show that we produce and deliver almost every week and I am also grateful for YOUR support that has made that possible!  This past week has been a very exciting one in our family as I welcomed my 5th grandchild on December 30th.
