(awww heck: Now I see some [apparently] neo-con blogger has linked here... some blog called Protein Wisdom, saying something about a Tuesday Riddle after a post of what appears to be a heartfelt call for support of a small cancer center. But that heartfeltness goes down the tubes when, in the Tuesday Riddle, some mean spirited put downs of Cindy Sheehan occur. I just want to say, hey, Y'all, thanks but no thanks--I'm not buying your sarcastic put-down. Meanness sucks. So, listen, rather than putting your feet in your mouth, why don't you put your feet on the Crawford roadside?--do some *real* good for a change.
Peace,
chris murray)

Starting today, Gold Star families from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Arkansas and other states whose loved ones have died as a result of the war in Iraq will be joining one of their members, Cindy Sheehan, at the protest. Ms. Sheehan, whose son Army Specialist Casey Sheehan was killed in Sadr City, Iraq on April 4, 2004, has been in Crawford since August 5th, demanding a meeting with the President. These families will be joined by military families with loved ones currently serving in Iraq or about to deploy or redeploy to Iraq. All of these families are coming to Crawford, Texas to share their stories about the personal costs of the war in Iraq and add their voices to the call for a meeting with President Bush.
...
In the first 8 days of August, 36 service members died in Iraq; countless Iraq children, women and men are dying each day. All of the families traveling to Crawford will carry the message to the vacationing President: Honor our fallen and honor our loved ones' service by ending the occupation, bringing the troops home now and taking care of them when they get here.
