FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 26, 2005

(Dateline: Dallas, Texas) – Deborah Johns, the leader of Move America Forward’s “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” Tour, today issued the following statement regarding the caravan of military families and their supporters that are heading to Crawford, Texas for a major pro-troop rally (“We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission”) on Saturday, August 27th.

“As the proud mother of a U.S. Marine who has served two tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I have been saddened by the hurtful comments made by Cindy Sheehan in regards to the men and women of the United States military and our Commander in Chief.

For three weeks Cindy Sheehan has made inflammatory and untrue statements about the mission our troops have been serving.  It was these non-stop attacks and hateful words that compelled me to take action.  That is why I joined with Move America Forward to organize the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” Tour. 

Cindy Sheehan doesn’t speak for me, nor does she speak for the overwhelming majority of military families.  And from the calls and emails I have received during the past week, I can tell you that she does not speak for the vast majority of families who have had to endure the pain of losing a loved one in the war on terrorism.

Since she first arrived in Crawford, Texas, Cindy Sheehan has been demanding that she receive a second meeting with President Bush so that she may continue her political and personal attacks against him.  Yet, she admits that she won’t listen to a thing he says.

Well I would like to talk to you, Cindy Sheehan.

I invite Cindy Sheehan to sit down and meet with me when I am in Crawford, Texas on Saturday, August 27th.  We can talk one-on-one, in a respectful, private and sincere manner, one mother to another.

I would like Cindy Sheehan to justify how her effort to undermine our troops’ mission does anything but dishonor those men and women in harms way?

I would like to ask Cindy Sheehan why she emboldens the terrorists by calling our President a murderer and the ‘real terrorist?’

And I would like to invite Cindy Sheehan to honor the requests from the overwhelming majority of our troops who ask the American people to not waiver in their resolve to support the efforts our troops are serving in.

Cindy Sheehan:  You’ve said you wanted to talk about these issues.  I invite you to discuss them with me.  It shouldn’t be too hard to find the caravan of military families I will be bringing to Crawford on Saturday.”

A very revealing look into the political motivations of ultra-liberal protester Cindy Sheehan as she calls terrorists “freedom fighters” while being interviewed by CBS.

Forwarded to us from the weblog Sweetness and Light:

Cindy is being interviewed by CBS News’ Mark Knoller, upon her arrival in Crawford on August 6, 2005:

Mark Knoller: You know that the President says Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism, don’t you believe that?

Cindy Sheehan: No, because it’s not true. Iraq was no threat to the United States of America until we invaded. Iraq was not involved in 9/11. Iraq was not a terrorist state.

But now that we have decimated the country, the borders are open. Freedom Fighters from other countries are going in. And they have created more terrorism by going into an Islamic country, devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country.

Terrorism is growing. And people who never thought of being car bombers, suicide bombers are now doing it because they want the United States of America out of their country.

Logic check: They are freedom fighters from other countries who have come to Iraq because they want the US out of their country?

We are on the road to Crawford, Texas, to show our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that the people of America stand behind them.

We have had a great start in San Francisco, with stops in Vacaville (the home town of Cindy Sheehan) and Sacramento.  Photographs from the first three stops are on the website.  Click here to view
