Cindy Sheehan to protest at state Capitol
Orange County Register ^ | 5/5/2011 | Brian Joseph

Cindy Sheehan, the Northern California peace activist who rose to prominence for starting an encampment near President Bush‘s Texas ranch, will headline a week-long occupation of the State Capitol next week to protest proposed spending cuts and encourage lawmakers to extend tax hikes.

Initially proposed by the California Teachers Association, the occupation has expanded to include protesters with the California Alliance for Retired Americans and the fringe Peace and Freedom political party as well as peace organizations Veterans for Peace and Peace of the Action, of which Sheehan is national director.

Sheehan, speaking at a Thursday morning press conference at the State Capitol, was careful to say that the CTA’s actions will be “separate” from the other groups’ efforts, but added that she and the organizations are in “solidarity” with the teachers’ demands.

Sheehan, the Ghoul of 60’s Past, is becoming a laughingstock even among the Rabid Left.

The CTA continue to carpet bomb radio with ads for their rallies next Friday.

They want new taxes. They want them now.

Some teachers, I think in LAUSD, are getting time off for this. There was an article early this week.

CTA are propagandists and well-funded by confiscated union dues. They can pour $50 million into a campaign cycle without blinking.
