Coming Back to Crawford by Cindy Sheehan

Cindy points out that Bush is supposed to be serving the American people, not the other way around.  It's time to call him to account, as she is doing.  We have delayed too long.
 
 Matthew 24:  48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
   49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
   50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,      51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 
In the name of the Prince of Peace,  Carol Wolman

Coming Back to Crawford
by Cindy Sheehan
 
I'm coming back to Crawford for my son. As long as the president, who sent him to die in a senseless war, is in Crawford, that is where I belong. I came here two and a half weeks ago for one reason, to try and see the president and get an answer to a very simple question: What is the noble cause that he says my son died for?

The answer to that question will not bring my son back. But it may stop more meaningless deaths. Because every death is now a meaningless one. And the vast majority of our country knows this. So why do more young men and women have to die? And why do more parents have to lose their children and live the rest of their lives with this unbearable grief?

The presidency is not bigger than the people's will.

And when the people speak out, it's the president's reponsibility to listen. He is there to serve us, not the other way around.

This isn't about politics. It's about what is good for America and what's best for our security and how far this president has taken us away from both.

I'm coming back to Crawford because -- now and forever -- this is my duty for my son, for my other children, for other parents, and for my country.
