Cindy Sheehan has announced that she plans to return "very soon" to her anti-war vigil in Crawford, Tex. When she does, she'll find she has some company, according to the conservative group leading the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour.
Move America Forward, a national organization "that supports American troops and the war against terrorism," is leading the tour, which begins Monday morning. Heading the delegation is Deborah Johns of Northern California Marine Moms, whose son, William, has served two tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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, Tex., 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," said Morgan, who also serves as chairman of Move America Forward. "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," Morgan added.
When the caravan arrives in Sacramento, Calif., it will stop at the studios of KFBK 1530 AM, where KFBK's Mark Williams will interview the caravan attendees as he fills in on the "Tom Sullivan Show." Williams will get live reports on the caravan each day before he flies to Dallas, Tex., 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," Williams said. "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," Williams noted.
From Sacramento, the caravan will head through Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and San Diego before traveling to Phoenix, Ariz., and then to Albuquerque, N.M. Once in Texas, the caravan will pick up supporters at stops at Amarillo, Fort Worth, Dallas and Waco before arriving in Crawford.
Talk show host Martha Zoller of WDUN 550 AM in Atlanta/Gainesville is also heading to Dallas to join the final two legs of the caravan. She's invited her listeners to join the caravan and pro-troop rally in Crawford on Saturday, August 27.
"I'm going on the tour because of the American heroes who have lost their lives in the global war on terror," Zoller said. "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 retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (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, Tex.: 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 their mission," Patterson said. "We must stand by them now, for if we don't, we will only embolden the terrorists who are doing everything they can to weaken America's resolve."
Additionally, caravans to Crawford to join the August 27 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.
"Free Republic is proud to support the 'You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy' Tour, and we are excited about joining the caravan to Crawford, Tex.," said Jim Robinson, founder and president of FreeRepublic.com.
"Our troops are fighting for our freedom and our very right to exist, and they deserve all the support we can possibly give them," Robinson said. "God bless them one and all."
Starting Wednesday, Move America Forward will begin airing a 60-second television commercial promoting the "Support Our Troops & Their Mission" rally in Crawford, Tex. The ad is expected to air nationwide on cable news networks or can see seen at the group's website.
BTTT
CBS's website, per Drudge, has another article mentioning this action but it's pretty obvious from reading the text where the hearts and minds of the jurnonazis at CBS lie.
Sad.
YYYYYYYYYYYESS!
No wonder Mother Sheehan grows more angry and shrill by the day. Patriotic Americans are drowning out her message of hate.
Fly a crop duster over that bunch and spray them down with bull excretement.
Wasn't she also the mother of Sheehan Sheehan, the notorious assassin? What a woman.
Heavens no! That's fertilizer. They might multiply!!
I am a military Mom--and Cindy Sheehan does NOT speak for me. I can't go to Crawford--but I sure would love a bumper sticker that says Cindy does not speak for me!!
Me too.....
I really like the bumper sticker. Great work!
Is there any way to append the ribbon to the left side of the bumper sticker to bring them together?
I cancelled my subscription to the Seattle Times yesterday. It gave Sheehan front page play two days in a row and also editorialized in her favor. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. It seems to me that lately they've been trying to out-liberal the rival Seattle P.I., and they've become stupider and stupider in the process. I finally had enough.
Love the bumper sticker....just wish there was a version that could be adhered from the inside of a window....I have problems with liberals defacing the ones I put on the outside of my car.....
