On August 15, a pickup truck dragging chains demolished the crosses for fallen American soldiers at Camp Casey. The vigil was begun by Cindy Sheehan, the mother of Casey, killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004. She stands outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas with a growing group of supporters.
Cindy Sheehan is making her voice heard. Please copy and paste this
declaration of support, then circulate it far and wide. Greta Berlin

DECLARATION OF SUPPORT FOR CINDY SHEEHAN
We, the
members of the International Conference of Women in Black, congratulate
you on your courageous vigil in Crawford, Texas. You are proof that
one
grief-stricken mother has more power than President Bush and his war
machine.
You are
a symbol for all of the wives, mothers, and sisters who have lost loved
ones in ill-conceived wars and brutal occupations. We mourn the loss
of your son
and want you to know that your voice has become our hope, energizing
us to continue working for peace.
You have reaffirmed that the power on one woman can be a beacon for change. 750 women from 44 countries representing thousands of families around the world thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Know that we will support you with our voices until peace becomes the only choice.
