Our local Bakersfield paper won't put Cindy's story in the paper so I
sent her words in a letter to the editor. I usually get published and I write to them a lot.

“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."

Cindy Sheehan

2. Good for you!
My parents live in Bakersfield and my mom was so thrilled to hear that Cindy's story made the front page of the LA Time.

Or course the Californian ignored it.

What a suprise! :sarcasm:

Contact the Kern Dems. They might help out too.

5. Bakersfield is the 8th most conservative American city.
I heard that on the radio today. The guy said that Detroit was the most liberal city in "their" poll.

6. Well then I would guess the Taft Driller didn't have it either...LOL
Yes, I grew up in that stink hole....got out as soon as I could. I live in Houston at the moment and people don't believe me when I tell them that the redneck capital of the world isn't in Texas or anyplace in the south but in a little town in California...LOL
