I am sitting here sobbing with that mother. That is one of the most powerful ads I have seen. This should move some of the security moms!

2. Cindy Sheehan letter was in Sunday's Times
To the Editor:

"Scary Ads Take Campaign to a Grim New Level" (front page, Oct. 17) cites my Real Voices ad about the death in Iraq of my son Casey as one of many "scary" campaign ads this year. Trust me, the families of soldiers who serve under President Bush's reckless leadership experience things far scarier than seeing a crying mother on television.

Scary is the sound of an unexpected knock on the door in the middle of the day.

Scary is hearing that yet another young soldier - or several - died today, and not knowing whether that's your child they're talking about.

And for me, scary was coming home one day last April from a walk with my dogs to find three Army officers waiting in my living room. Compared with that, you think my campaign ad is scary?

3. Thanks for sharing that. I hadn't seen that article.
It is a very powerful ad and I agree with her. There is no comparison.
