What It Means to be an American

Cindy Sheehan has been camped out in Crawford, TX, about a week now -- and she has been a source of amazing strength.
Her son, Casey, died April 4th, 2004. The President met with her and was undoubtedly callous about what happened. Here's a summary of how things went in an interview with Buzzflash.
Since that time, we've learned that indeed, no Weapons of Mass Destruction existed. We've also learned about the Downing Street Memo, which suggests that the "intelligence was being fixed around the policy."
What becomes of a woman who's lost her son for this "noble cause." She has spoken up on many issues, and last week, after hearing about the group of 14 Ohio soldiers who were killed, she has had enough.
She is camped outside of the Crawford ranch (actually forced 3 miles off) with a growing contingent of supporters. Every day, more come to join her. Sheehan is heard on almost every Democratic talk show almost daily, and her message has permeated into the MSM and even the Right-Wing talk shows.
I wish I could drop everything and go to Drawford, but I can't. However, I can, and we can, all help. Go to the Crawford Peace House Web site and donate what you can for their food and supplies. They need our support.
I've donated $10. Will you match it?
