This is what Cindy said...................AND I LOVE IT.

[pbartch]

I'm gonna get a tee-shirt made up....with her picture on it and this will be the message:



“If you fall on the side that is pro-George, and pro-war, you get your ass over to Iraq, and take the place of somebody who wants to come home. And if you fall on the side that is against this war and against George Bush, stand up and speak out.”

"But whatever side you fall on, quit being on the fence."

"The opposite of good is not evil, it’s apathy. And we have to get this country off their butts, and we have to get the choir singing."

Sorry I don't have another link but if you scroll down you'll see her speech from last week when she told everyone she was going to Crawford.

There are some other great quotes in that speech. If you like that quote, you'll love the rest of the speech!! :-)


I love the part where she says that as soon as a public official lies to us, they have no authority anymore.

15. Truth to power is all she can speak...

She is quite simply amazing... wise beyond almost any public figure. Guess grief has a way for educating those who are open to answers.

[HootieMcBoob]

16. Man, she just keeps getting better and better!

My admiration for her grows daily.

And she's not going away. I have a feeling that over the weekend this is going to become a much bigger news story. Really, how much longer can they ignore it?

For every man or women we should loose Shrub should draft five members of his base.

23. Another great quote from her speech:

"I do see hope. I see hope in this country. 58% of the American public are with us. We're preaching to the choir, but the choir's not singing. If all of the 58% started singing, this war would end."

It's time to sing, people!

[Booster]

24. I had only read snipets of Cindy's speech until last night. Please

read her entire speech - it's very powerful and will make you admire this brave woman even more. It was on Will Pitt's website, but I'm sure it won't be hard to find. She sure doesn't hold anything back.

[Shredr]

25. I'll buy one of those t-shirts!

Kicked and nominated.

26. Did you say sing?

I don't know if Gold Star will take up the yellow rose as a symbol. Here are some words that can be fitted into the song "Yellow Rose in Texas." This link will play the music automatically and can be played in a seperate window- http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/yellowrose.htm

Yellow roses grow in Texas, far more than you can see,
A wrong calling for righting, is how they came to be.
We put them on the roadsides and we say in spirit we are here,
Take your war and shove it, is the only thing that's clear.

There's hard work to do in Texas, with a ditch to take a stand.
The heat is hot as blazes, the rain is not so grand.
You may have your bliss and comforts while you watch your big tv,
But truth and a change of course are the only things for me.

They did not ask for welcome or take invite to leave.
The times had called for action, to say what they believed.
They said to kill the fantasies and give all the lies a rest,
We came to tell a noble cause, we want the path that's best.

<refrain>

Power gave them silence, refused to give a bone.
Lies were tooled to bless the war, and drive true patriots home.
Camp Casey is a mobile place, exist in hearts of men,
The yellow rose we carry here carries on from then.

<refrain>
