CINDY, PLEASE DON'T PROTEST BLUE ANGELS
Advertisements [?]
BRUNSWICK — The Navy's fighter demonstration team, the Blue Angels, returns to Brunswick next month after a six-year absence, and standing nearby to protest the display of military power will be the nation's most prominent peace activist, Cindy Sheehan. Sheehan gained national attention this month by staging a vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. She is scheduled to join a group of local war protesters who will march from the Brunswick Mall to the Brunswick Naval Air Station on the morning of Sept. 10, her publicist confirmed Monday.

Anti-war protesters are expected to stage a rally outside the main gate Saturday. The rally's featured speaker will be Sheehan, whose son was killed while serving in Iraq. She will speak to the group about her experiences in trying to gain a meeting with the president.

I don't see how protesting a military base, especially one that has been slated to be closed by BRAC helps her cause. I can't continue to support her if she goes along with this.
