Cindy Sheehan Pledges Civil Disobedience Campaign

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=4599

But Sheehan vowed to turn up the heat by returning to the front gate of the White House as soon as the death toll of American soldiers hits 2,000 (as of Thursday, the Department of Defense reported 1,982, including the five killed Wednesday). Im going to deliver a speech and then I’m going to get arrested. And when I get out I’m going to go back and get arrested,Sheehan told the Voice.

Sheehan said she now believes lobbying and marching in the streets is no longer enough and that nonviolent civil disobedience is the way we have to go to end the war.

2. Cindy said the same thing when she co-hosted the Randi Rhodes
Show today. She said she intends to fasten herself to the White House fense.

She suggested people might want to consider doing the same at Congressional Offices and Federal Buildings in their home states.

3. She is right too...
Until the people take to the street our "representatives" in Congress will ignore us.
