Dead Soldier Families Wage Their Own War

From The Times:

Angered by President Bush's policy in Iraq, a group of military families whose relatives died there is targeting the president in new television ads to be aired ahead of the Nov. 2 election.

``I think the American people need to know that we have been betrayed in this rush to war,'' said Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey is among more than 1,000 U.S. troops who died in Iraq.

Sheehan joined a small group of military families at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday to launch new political ads by an interest group called RealVoices.org, which supports Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's White House bid.

The first ads are set to run next week nationally and in battleground cities of Las Vegas, Orlando and Albuquerque.
Watch someone who loves to say "they died for our freedoms" tell these families to shut up, as they did with Sue Niederer. Just think of how the GOPers rallied around Sue to drown her out, had her arrested AFTER she left the hall.
