- Peace Garden: A few alterations...

A few alterations...

Thursday, February 09, 2006

Cindy Sheehan has decided to not run for office. In this article she mentions a quote from George McGovern. Reading it today, all we have to do is change or add some words (in red) and it is totally appropriate for todays House and Senate members.

"Every senator in this chamber is partly responsible for sending 50,000 ( 2,434 and counting) young Americans to an early grave. This chamber reeks of blood ... It does not take any courage at all for a congressman, or a senator, or a president to wrap himself in the flag and say we are staying in Vietnam (Iraq), because it is not our blood that is being shed. But we are responsible for those young men (and women) and their lives and their hopes."
It's time for our elected officials to demand an end to this war. It is a time for everyone to reject the fear this regime wants us to live in. It is time for us all to find a better way. Today's way is not working!
