The Library That Lies Built (DeTour de Peace) Cindy Sheehan “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.” Howard Zinn "But remember, this power of the people on top depends on the people below. When people stop obeying, they {the top} have no power." Howard Zinn “But we also know something about George Bush the leader.  As we walk through this library, obviously we’re reminded of the incredible strength and resolve that came through that bullhorn as he stood amid the rubble and the ruins of Ground Zero, promising to deliver justice to those who had sought to destroy our way of life.” Barack Obama honoring George Bush at the dedication of the Bush Presidential Center at SMU, Dallas, TX.   “The greats, you can’t touch: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, FDR. But yeah, I’d put him {Bush} up there.” Bush advisor Karl Rove at dedication of Bush Center Tour de Peace was in Phoenix a few days ago headin

And Then There Were Three...by Cindy Sheehan

  And Then There Were Three Cindy Sheehan Cindy, near Flagstaff, AZ Our bike ride across the country, Tour de Peace, is beginning its third week here in Flagstaff, AZ with an event soon. We began in Vacaville, Ca on April 04 at the grave of my son, Casey, and are planning on being in WashedUp, DeCeit on July 3 to present our demands for peace and justice in the heart of the Evil Empire.  We began with 7 core riders and supporters on that rainy Thursday morning in my hometown, and after tomorrow, we are down to three. Interestingly enough (as we follow old Route 66) when we stopped in Seligman, AZ a few days ago, we stayed at the Romney Motel and the irony is, we firmly believe that if Romney were the Emperor right now, we would have dozens of people riding with us, considering the State of the Empire and its continuing crimes against humanity. Starting today, I am the only cyclist in an action that is supporting the reduction of the use of fossil fuels a

Bring Heart Back to this Land Cindy Sheehan “Hide your daughters. Hide your wife. Hide errbody (sic). 2/7 is back in town.” (Sign tied to a fence near the front gate of Twentynine Palms Marine Base) Yesterday, our motley crew of Tour de Peace ended up in Joshua Tree/Twentynine Palms area and one of our stops was to ride to the front gate of the humongous Marine base there in Twentynine Palms. On the way up to the Marine Base from Yucca Valley, the wind was whipping us from the side with gusts up to 25 mph and the ride was already treacherous but a few times, Bradleys passed us on the road, giving us an eerie feeling of insecurity.   Cindy and Ron battling the winds There were only four of us riding and four following in support vehicles (including one from the National Lawyer’s Guild). I was chatting with my friend, and Biking for Peace, companion, Ron Toppi (so far, he’s ridden all the way, and more, with me), that it seemed like a long hard ri
