A message from Cindy Sheehan

I was asked to pass this along to DU:

Dear Friends
the right wing has my book under attack.
They are writing hateful reviews about it on Amazon.com, obviously without having read it.
Now the right-wing sites are publishing photos of me sitting at the table waiting to sign books.
Thses pictures were taken before we started.
We sold 100 books....I got writer's cramp.
Below is a link to a review of my book which the person actually read.

This is a letter from my publisher if you would like to pass it along.
Thank you
Love you all
Cindy

Dear Friends,


As publisher of Cindy Sheehan's new book, Not One More Mother's Child, I need to set the record straight about a lie circulating right-wing websites that has even made it onto amazon.com.



I donated 100 copies of Not One More Mother's Child to Crawford Peace House, encouraging them to sell these copies to benefit their work. During her Thanksgiving Vigil near President Bush's ranch, Cindy agreed to sign copies for those who bought them, as a benefit for Crawford Peace House. AP and Reuters posted photos – I can't imagine why – of Cindy sitting at the book table between signings, rather than while someone was at the table. And now the smear websites are circulating an article, with these photos, that Cindy gave a signing and nobody came. It's simply not true! She not only signed all 100 copies and raised $2,000 for Crawford Peace House, she got writer's cramp!



These kinds of lies helped defeat Senator McCain in 2000 and Senator Kerry in 2004. The right has been trying to humiliate and "Swift-Boat" Cindy since she helped galvanize the peace movement in August. It is important to set the record straight. Cindy's book, Not One More Mother's Child, is being very well received nationwide, and the benefit booksigning in Crawford Texas on November 26, 2005 was well attended and a huge success.



Thank you.

and give it to everyone I know! And maybe if enough books are bought, it will shut those right wing mofos up!

The money and the purchases go to a good woman who is doing good work and maybe if people read the book, they will wake up finally...

Great idea - buy this book and give as a gift folks! Money well spent! :hi:

Cindy Sheehan is a hero.

The right fears her because they fear truth and exposure of their hypocrisy. The reviews in favor of Cindy's book far outweigh the few negative comments left on the site.

The depths to which they will sink never surprises me.

Cindy started the ball rolling, she should make the cover of Time.:patriot:

I'm going to have to pray for patience again at church this morning. *sigh*

Maybe I should buy her book for my Republican FIL . . . hmmmm . . . It would save me knitting a hat . . . ;)

>It would save me knitting a hat.<

I might have to buy a copy of that book as well. ;-)

I was talked into knitting mittens for a SIL who has tons of scarves (what I have the yarn for and was planning to make) but apparently no mittens. To make it okay to buy the yarn, I figured I would finally make the hat my FIL has wanted for a few years (an original Cleveland Browns design I made for my hubby). The yarn left over from the mittens will make the hat. Of course, the hat could be for his birthday next summer. ;)

to attack a woman who lost her only son in a pointless oil war? According to these fucks she should put loyalty to the president over loyalty to her son.

...and it's signed by Cindy herself.

All the negative comments on Amazon are actually good for publicity and remember there is no such thing as bad press. The hardcore right never would have bought the book anyway.
