CINDY, DIANE TO BE ARRESTED : Houston Indymedia

I've just been told that Cindy Sheehan, who's been camped out outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas has been informed that as of Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Thursday is the day when Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfled visit the ranch, and Friday a fundraising event is scheduled.

I know you’ve all seen the incredible impact that Cindys’ presence in Crawford is having. It’s literally been years since such a strong anti-war message has been heard in the mainstream media, and the fact that it’s coming from a military mother who lost her son in the war is all the more powerful.

I urge you to consider going to Crawford to be with Cindy on Thursday when she is arrested. You don’t have to be arrested yourself, but it would be amazing for her to be surrounded by other military family members and veterans who want the troops to come home now. Please forward this to your friends who are military family members and veterans. If one of them wants to go to Crawford, but can’t afford the plane ticket, please let me know; I will try to raise the funds immediately.

Thanks for all of your powerful work.

Best,
