FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 20, 2005
(SACRAMENTO) – Cindy Sheehan has announced she plans to return “very soon” to her anti-war vigil in Crawford, Texas. When, and if she does, she’ll find she has some company.
The national organization that supports our troops and the war against terrorism, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), is leading the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” tour, and the effort is growing by the hour.
Military families and talk radio hosts are bringing Americans along caravans – with all roads leading to Crawford, Texas for a giant “We Support Our Troops & Their Mission” rally in Crawford on Saturday, August 27, 2005. Leading the delegation is Deborah Johns of Northern California Marine Moms. Deborah’s son, William, has served 2 tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The main caravan leaves from San Francisco, California on Monday morning (August 21st). Supporters will be joining the caravan along the way and cheering it on at stops. The caravan heads throughout California (stopping in Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and San Diego) traveling through Arizona (stopping in Phoenix) and New Mexico (stopping in Albuquerque). Once in Texas the caravan will pick up even more supporters at stops at Amarillo, Fort Worth, Dallas and Waco before arriving in Crawford.
Radio Hosts Joining the Caravan
Talk radio hosts are helping to promote this event – with many joining the caravan along the way.
The caravan kicks off in San Francisco where Melanie Morgan of KSFO 560 AM will lead her listeners along the first leg of the caravan. Morgan will also travel to Dallas, Texas on Friday to join the final two legs of the caravan into Crawford.
“For the past few weeks this nation has heard from those voices in America who advocate surrender in the war against terrorism. Now, it’s time to hear from the other side of this debate. We are going to rally Americans together to show the terrorists overseas that our nation has not lost its resolve nor its nerve to prevail in the fight against their violent, extremist agenda,” said Melanie Morgan who serves as Chairman of Move America Forward.
When the caravan arrives in Sacramento, California it will stop off at the studios of KFBK 1530 AM – where KFBK’s Mark Williams will interview the caravan attendees as he fills in for the “Tom Sullivan Show.” Williams will get live reports on the caravan each day before he flies to Dallas, Texas on Friday to join the final two legs of the caravan into Crawford.
“Since our region of northern California is the place Cindy Sheehan calls home, we owe it to the nation to present another voice from this area. That’s why Deborah Johns, the Marine mother, and I are heading to Crawford, Texas. We have a message for the President and the American people: Now is not the time to pull our support from the heroic mission our sons and daughters are serving in Iraq,” said Williams.
Talk show host Martha Zoller of WDUN 550 AM Atlanta/Gainesville is also heading to Dallas to join the final two legs of the caravan and she’s invited her listeners to come down for the caravan and pro-troop rally in Crawford on August 27th – to stand by her side.
“I am going on the "you don't speak for me, Cindy" tour because of the American heroes who have lost their lives in the Global War on Terror. Casey Sheehan is an American hero and he had to live with the knowledge that his mother didn't understand what he was doing...he had to die with that knowledge, too. The media has elevated Cindy Sheehan as the voice of those families who have lost loved ones, but Cindy Sheehan speaks for a very small minority. We’re going to tell the rest of the story now,” said Zoller.
Also traveling from the Atlanta area is Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (Ret. – U.S. Air Force) who broadcasts “The Buzz Cut” radio show on the RighTalk Radio Network.
Patterson shares something in common with the other talk show hosts heading to Crawford, Texas – he just returned from Iraq as part of the 10-day “Voices of Soldiers” tour.
“Our troops serving in Iraq made it very clear that they believe in the mission they are serving in. We must stand by them now, for if we don’t we only will embolden the terrorists who are doing everything they can to weaken America’s resolve. If we turn our backs on the mission in Iraq now, then our sons and daughters who have been killed in this conflict will have died in vain,” said Patterson.
Additionally, caravans to Crawford to join the August 27th rally are being planned from Louisiana, Florida, Connecticut and other areas throughout the nation. Many caravans are being organized in conjunction with the supporters of Free Republic at their website, www.FreeRepublic.com
Starting Wednesday this week, Move America Forward will begin airing a 60-second television commercial promoting the “Support Our Troops & Their Mission” rally in Crawford, Texas. The ad is expected to air nationwide on cable news networks. You can view the ad online at the Move America Forward website – www.MoveAmericaForward.org
Move America Forward will provide continuous updates on the caravan and rally at its website – www.MoveAmericaForward.org
There's a little thing called a remote...turn the channel.
Able Danger is more important to me as well, but it's time to stand up to her for our troops.
I don't eat cereal, and if I did and somebody pissed in them, I'd kick their ass.
After this rally, I will redirect my efforts toward the topic closest to my heart, A.D. The media is shoving her down our throats to take the heat off Able Danger, we aren't stupid, we know their game. Their game will be up after next weekend. The squeaky whell gets the grease. The ditch witch is the squeaky wheel...for just a little while longer, bare with us.
I heard a blogger, Robert Parks, on the radio last night being interviewed on the Rusty Humphries Show. Parks had written a piece about the "insensitivity" aka inherent bigotry of Cindy's supporters comparing her to Rosa Parks. It seems that whenever libs want to exact sympathy from anyone, they compare themselves to blacks, and this blogger, who is black, called foul.
Cindy's supporters accused him of not being black!
Apparently, they've never seen him.
Albuquerque is about 600 miles round trip out of the way to Crawford. El Paso is right on the way.
If she goes back to Crawford.....get her to talk about Casey. Every point she makes, ask if Casey wrote or said anything about that point.
Ask her for some examples of what she calls Casey's "brainwashing" by the military.
If you can get her to share what Casey wrote or did, this whole spectacle will colapse.
This kind of war is new for anyone not alive during WWII. This War on Terror is like that one....it is all or nothing. We can fight them on our terms in strategic places like Iraq or they will bring the fight to our shores and we will have to fight them here.
God bless your son & keep him out of harms way.
This Big Itch is just one more turd the left tried to polish but the smell of her agenda was clearly present when anyone got close to her tale !
Your talent for conveying an opinion has not diminished. lol
Too wordy huh ?;O)
Hope yer well friend !
Hey, I did not know that about the American Revolution (your tagline).
I live 12 minutes north of Vacaville (the home of the infamous Sheehan, as you know) and I'm meeting the caravan Monday morning at the offices of the Vacaville Reporter, then following them to Sacramento. Wish I could go all the way to Crawford.
I watched a documentary called "ShootOut" today on the History Channel. It was about the invasion of Fallujah Nov. 2004. Those Marines are awesome!! They deserve all the support we can give them -- all those in the military do! (My son's in the Air Force.)
He said that someone emailed him and accused him of photoshopping his picture on his own website!!!
Cindy's supporters are not geniuses!
LOVE IT! Lets see if the military mom mentioned here is the next darling of the media! HAH!
Which US GOP Senators are going to Crawford?
They have the time off work and can well afford to buy airline tickets.
Which GOP Governors will be in attendance?
The next President of the United States will be there
and I'll vote for him or her
because they supported our troops when they need it the most.
God bless your son and your family. Thanks for your son's service.

Notified all newspapers, radio & TV stations, Republican Party offices and clubs in the following Texas counties: Dallas (Dallas), Tarrant (Ft. Worth), Travis (Austin), McLennan (Crawford), Burnett, Erath, Hood, Hill, Limestone, Bell (Killeen - Temple), Coryell, Bosque, Williamson (Georgetown - Roundrock), Milam, Navarro (Corsicana), Ellis (Waxahachie), Johnson, Parker (Weatherford), Palo Pinto, Commanche, Brown, Brazos (College Station), Henderson (Athens), Anderson (Palestine) and Van Zandt. I also informed the folks at TV & radio stations and the newspapers in Amarillo, TX about the caravan stop there next Thursday evening.
Will be working on Albuquerque, NM and Phoenix, AZ next.
I've also scanned Google and Yahoo for every story written about Cindy Sheehan and emailed the author the caravan and rally details for next week.
The most generous comment I can muster about "Mother Sheehan" is, perhaps her loss has deranged her.
But there is no doubt in my mind that she is being exploited ruthlessly and shamelessly by those who wish America, and the President, ill.
