minimizes the cause. You definitely do have a point - that not covering the other Gold Star families means that the whole community of peace activitists is not covered and that is bad. Still, the national attention span is so short that perhaps the focus on just one person helps break through the clutter on the news and she gets remembered because she appears often.
It is sort of like focusing on just one element of election problems to get people to focus on the topic -- too much and they go into overload and can't hear.
Just a thought.
In any case - I am really excited to see Cindy back in Texas.
