Candlelight Vigil

Late last night, a pick-up truck dragging chains ran over the rows of white crosses on the side of the road near Cindy Sheehan's vigil. Each cross commemorated a dead soldier; this morning, many of them were broken or gone. But Cindy and the other moms in Crawford have vowed to stay, and now a neighboring rancher, who is a veteran, has offered them some of his nearby land if they have to move from the roadside.

The spirit of that rancher standing up in his own pro-Bush community is the sort of public support for Cindy Sheehan and her cause that is growing across America. Tomorrow's vigils for Cindy Sheehan will be the most visible measure of the size and strength of public concern about the war in a long time. It is critical to have as many vigils as possible and as many attendees as possible to demonstrate the wave of public support for Cindy.

OK. My friend Chris and I will be at the Dunlevy Bridge tomorrow night. We're registered. Anyone else I know, coming? L.

Thanks for the link.

It is truly heinous to dishonor fallen warriors that way, no matter how much the perpetrator disagrees with the person who memorializes them.

Cindy Sheehan for President!

The one I am going to is a bridge over Highway 59, just three blocks from my house. Hannen and friend are joining us there.
