The Counter Sheehan Caravan
A caravan organized in the San Francisco Bay area has toured through California and is on it’s way to Crawford, Texas. The organizers will offer a counter demonstration to Cindy Sheehan’s anti-bush, anti-administration, anti-war tirade which has been going on since August 6th.
The full account can be found in this AP story, Bush Backers Amass to Counter ‘Peace Mom’. Here are some of the statements from Bush backing, pro-war parents:
“It’s time to lay down the anger. We need to continue to uphold those people over there, to uphold those men and women with their boots on the ground,” said Deborah Johns of the Northern California Marine Moms, who helped organize the caravan, which is sponsored by Move America Forward, a Bay Area-based group…
In Vacaville, Toni Colip, 50, said her son, David, went to high school with Casey Sheehan and is now in the Marines, although not in Iraq. She said her son opposes Sheehan’s activities and has asked her to support his military service even if he is injured or killed.
“He said, ‘Don’t dishonor me, don’t walk on my grave,’” Colip said…
“This is not the way to honor her son,” said Lori Judy, 49, of Vacaville, whose son, Tim, served in Iraq.”
It will be interesting to see if the Main Stream Media give this caravan as much attention as they have Sheehan’s debacle.
