Fallen soldier's mother to embark on bus tour after leaving Texas vigil
2005-08-26
CRAWFORD, Texas – A fallen soldier's mother said Thursday that the anti-war vigil she started nearly three weeks ago near President Bush's ranch won't end when she and other protesters pack up their camp next week.

Cindy Sheehan said the day after she leaves Aug. 31, she will embark on a bus tour ending up in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24. Then the group will start a 24-hour vigil in the nation's capital. "I am not alone," she said at a news conference Thursday. "There's the people standing behind me here, but there's thousands of military families ... who want the same answers to the same questions."

Bush has said he recognizes Sheehan's right to protest and understands her anguish, although she does not represent the views of many families he has met with.

Sheehan and other grieving families met with Bush about two months after her son died last year, before reports of faulty prewar intelligence surfaced and caused her to become a vocal opponent of the war.
Bus tour? Since Aruba has a "fire sale" on tours after the Holloway incident, perhaps there is a bus that would be most suitable...

Perfect for Cindy S. and her not-so-merry band of Leftists.

#7  Get Ted Kennedy to drive the bus. That will put an end to all this tomfoolery.

#6  It's probably that when they were in school, all the kids made fun of them because they were on the short bus. Now they can pick what bus to use.

#5  I find it interesting how she keeps using the Gold Star Mothers group as platform. IMO the group is distancing themselves from her quick/professional as possible. The statement following is from the official webpage of AGSM's (I love these ladies)--

Cindy Sheehan is currently in the news. She and her organization have no connection whatever with American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. We are a 501 C(3) organization and, as such, do not engage in political activities. We do support our troops. After all, they are our children.

#4  I was thinking maybe a psychedelic painted Volkwagen microbus would be fitting for Cindy and her aging hippy cronies. Some of us grow up while others just get older.

#3  What is it with these lefties and their "bus tours." First, Hanoi Jane and her bus that ran on vegetable oil and now these kooks? What a picture that would be....hippie bus filled with hippies, veggies, Sheehan, Rev. Al and the Aryan Nation goons, moveon.org goons, etc. all hanging out the windows! Mehopes .com can come up with a picture of that!
