Cindy Sheehan, the mother whose loss of a son in the war in Iraq led her to become the most recognizable face of opposition to the war, confirmed Wednesday she will come to Salt Lake City this month to join protests during the visit of President Bush.
Sheehan's presence likely will increase the visibility and intensity of protests planned to coincide with Bush's address to the American Legion. Bush plans to arrive in Utah on Aug. 30 and speak the following day to the group's national convention.
Salt Lake City "is a great opportunity for her to be where Bush is and be in his face," Sheehan's spokeswoman, Tiffany Burns, said Wednesday.
Sheehan is the nation's most prominent Gold Star Mother, a designation for mothers who have lost sons in wars. Sheehan's son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004. The Berkeley, Calif., woman has attracted national attention for her repeated visits to Washington, D.C., and Crawford, Texas, where she unsuccessfully attempted to meet with Bush last summer.

Her presence in Texas in 2005 and Bush's refusal to meet her gave impetus to anti-war protests.

[helderheid]

21. Listening - I sure appreciate the link!

[grateful581]

22. glad I could help

I came across it after reading all the hateful comments about Cindy and Rocky on the KSL message board.
Most people who post there are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

28. It sounded pretty fucking condescending to me.

Cindy has lost more than we'll ever know and is an ispiration to the anti-war movement.

29. Is she trying to give my super Fox-watching Mo-mom a heart attack?!

Note to self: Don't answer the phone on August 30th.

[helderheid]

30. LOL! Better yet, come visit your mom and join us!!!

[neebob]

32. I'd love to, but

that would for sure give my mom a heart attack ... or at least a good conniption. I'd better stay home.

[helderheid]

33. aw visit and meet me for "coffee" :) Aug 30th? :)

[neebob]

36. Really, I'd love to, but

I also have to give a presentation on August 31st and again on September 1st here at home. I'm a procrastinator, too, and the trip would cut into my prep time. And Mo-Mom would grill me about who I'm meeting until I gave up that it was someone from that horrid evil leftist smear site, Democratic Underground, and then she'd have a fucking cow.

Bottom line, I'm not up for face time with Mo-Mom. Raincheck, k?

[helderheid]

31. Request for recommends for those close enough to travel here.

[grateful581]

34. woo hoo !

I got august 30 off of work.
I was supposed to work a half day.
Now I have the whole day to stand up against the bush crime family.

Just kickin in
