Supporters of U.S. Troops and their Mission in Iraq Plan Caravans to Texas.
Move America Forward will be conducting the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” caravan beginning next week. It will feature military family members who have loved ones serving in the war against terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan. The delegation will be led by Deborah Johns of Marine Moms.

If you want to be part of a caravan, email us with your name and location you will depart from and we will include in our caravan coverage so people in your area can depart with you.

Everyone arrives in Crawford, Texas for a giant “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission” Rally on Saturday, August 27, 2005.

I agree with anon. I think she speaks for herself. I don't know why this group has to "sour grapes" their way through some contrarian political statement. Why do they have to make an example of her? Why can't it just be limited to “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission”? Be the bigger man, so to speak, and you won't lend credence to her position. Instead, these people are forcing others to decide and, inevitably, her position becomes more persuasive to some because it is polarizing and many will find her plight MORE compelling.

This group isn't about "sour grapes", they are about countering the groups that are using this woman as a political point and trying to make it seem as if the majority of Americans do not support our troops or their mission. The media wants it to seem that way too, and these folks are trying to get the facts out that there is plenty of respect and support for the troops and the mission.

It'd be funny if they ended up going at it like in West Side Story. ((snaps fingers and taps foot)) I'd probably watch the coverage of it then and maybe even give a damn about the whole thing.

Fair enough BF. Like I have said before I really don't follow this whole fiasco. I change my stance a bit; if there are groups rallying around her, by all means, don't let her position get too much momentum because pulling out of Iraq will do more harm than good. I still have a problem with polarizing people in general but I guess that is what this whole thing is about. I just wish the majority of our society could ignore her already.

It is the media that is driving this story. If they don't cover her, the story goes away. The media loves grieving moms and this summer has 2 big ones. Aruba mom and Iraq mom.

On Rush today:

Did you see/hear this? a mother and sister of a fallen soldier who were there trying to remove the cross with their son's/brother's name on it. They didn't want that cross to be a part of Cindy's protest of the war and other rants. The caller said that Cindy's group surrounded the mother and daughter/sister and had the sister in tears because of their "baby killer" chants against her brother.

Just think, if it weren't for our Troops and for the decisions our leaders make ( unwanted and unpopular they may be sometimes) we wouldn't have the ability to sit hear and express our opinions.
Hmmm. Food for thought?

Oh, forgot to say: I totally dislike the media and the frenzy they constantly cause.
(my Mama told me it wasn't polite to say hate)

Lot's of gray area there. I am an Eagles fanfirst and foremost. I think McNabb is a cool guy. TO is an a$$. But if they can coexist and take us to the promise land I can live with him. Rush has nothing going for him in my book.
