of Congressional politicians who are either tacitly or explicitly supporting the war on Iraq.
Activists want their representatives and senators to agree to vote against George Bush's request
of $93,000,000,000 to extend the war.

Cindy Sheehan is NOT the only person occupying offices and protesting the war and calling for impeachment.

She's just the name that gets put in the news!

4. I always tell them, If you want something done right, do it yourself!
Of course they seem to prefer to bash someone who is doing something instead of taking their own advice and actually putting their butts on the line.

It's a lot easier and it doesn't require any effort or personal sacrifice. They would rather complain about Cindy than go complain to their Reps.
