We're Talking About a Revolution: Cindy for Cal Gov 2014 by Cindy Sheehan

Image
Cindy for Cal Gov 2014: We’re Talking About a Revolution! Cindy Sheehan "The mass of wo(men) lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation." Henry David Thoreau “A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. ... A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth." MLK, Jr. I have identified myself repeatedly as a “revolutionary,” so why is this the third time that I have run for an elected office? As a revolutionary, I believe that the system that the USA exists under, whether we want to call it “empire,” “capitalism,” “fascism,” “corporatism,” or (you pick) cannot be reformed. The Empire has too much evil institutional momentum to reform itself—and that’s what reformists are calling for—the very people who have all the marbles: power, wealth and resourc

Day Three of PFbB (Personal Facebook Boycott) by Cindy Sheehan

I was in Cuba last month and while I was there there wasn't much to watch on TV that was in English. Before I went to Cuba for that week, I was used to watching about an hour of C(IA)NN in the morning with my coffee. Now, I know that C(IA)NN is pure propaganda for the establishment and that's why I watched it. I wanted to know what the "powers that be" wanted me to care about. Whether it was the latest celebrity marriage, birth, death, or show trial, I knew there was something else I should be researching. I have found that RT (Russia Today) has reliable news, albeit RT has a slant, also. I am so much happier not watching C(IA)NN, it is palpable. I can touch, feel and smell how much better my psyche is not having to watch even an hour of the bullcrap that passes for news. The reason I am telling you this is that I am feeling exactly the same way on Day Three of my PFbB. The things I did from my list of things to do instead of being on Fb were: I wrote five

CINDY SHEEHAN FOR CAL GOV 2014 SUPPORTS BART WORKERS!

Image
Defend BART and AC Transit Workers Stop Union Busting And Presecute And Jail BART Managers And Executives For BART Deaths I am fully in support of the struggle of the BART and AC transit workers. They have had real wage losses in the past five to ten years and yet the management supported by the boards of director of BART and AC have pushed austerity and attacks on the workers and their families. This attack on the transit and all public workers is being led by the Democratic Governor Jerry Brown and the Democratic controlled legislature. Governor Brown is even suing the Federal government to allow for more cost shifting of pensions on the back of Transit workers. The governor is pushing anti-stirke leglaons was important nationally. The deaths of two replacement workers on the tracks of BART during the strike is directly the result of the BART managers, executives and the Democratic BART board of directors who were planning to bust the union. They demanded an e

Day Two of my PFbB (Personal Facebook Boycott) by Cindy Sheehan

I woke up today to a few comments about my blog posting in regards to my PFbB...all supportive. One man whom I have never heard from before wrote to me (via email): Hello Ms. Sheehan,   While there are many things we disagree on (and I imagine a number of things we'd agree on) I did want to say that I think your plans for the future without facebook (like living in the real world) are, in general, very good.  I could potificate [sic] about what I think you've got wrong in your list and what you've got right, but that would not be productive, and is kind of a rude way to introduce yourself to someone.   Good luck with your facebookless future.  I'm sure you'll be better off for it.  And while I don't know you and didn't know  your son I am deeply sorry for your loss.  I have two young boys and I can't imagine the pain of losing one of them.  You are in my prayers. I thought that was very thoughtful of him to not engage me in a w

Life, Post-Facebook by Cindy Sheehan

Life, Post-Facebook Cindy Sheehan This is Day One of my Personal Facebook Boycott (PFbB). Why am I boycotting Facebook? There are several reasons, but first a little background. I remember when MySpace intruded into my space around the year of 2008. If I remember correctly, I had over 10,000 followers, but I never really knew what it was for. I received some nice messages and I received some very hostile ones, but then Facebook smashed me in the face around the end of that same year. Facebook limits one to 5000 “friends” which is something I don’t understand, but I always have close to 5000 “friends” and over 2000 “friend” requests pending. Out of the 5k “friends” I have, I probably have met about 200 in person, and know about 25 pretty well and 10 very well. Also, out of the 5k, I know I only see posts from about 50 of them. I do have a “fan” page for my radio show that people can just “LIKE” and I have almost 12k “LIKES” on Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox.

Repeat "Defender," Cindy Sheehan on Trial, Again!

Our Arrest at CIA, Langley, VA: June 29 Dear Friend, Since my son was KIA in Iraq on April 04, 2004, I have been arrested for, not only defending our rapidly dwindling civil rights, but also defending humanity from the out of control Military Industrial Complex of the USA. I have been arrested in NYC, Texas, California, but I have been arrested about 20 times in the WashedUp, DeCeit area. This past June 29th, (near the end of Tour de Peace) we were holding a demo against drone bombing in front of CIA HQ at Langley, VA and six of us were detained because we held a simulated drone attack and "die-in" past the yellow crime tape (appropriate that the CIA wrapped itself in crime tape, since many unspeakable things are planned from there). We SIX are going on trial in Alexandria, VA on October 22 (info below). We are defending ourselves "pro se." The CIA 6 are: Joy First; Malachy Kilbride; Max Obuszewski; Janice Sevre-Duszynska, Phillip Runkel, and Me. Excep

Sound the Alarm! Fukushima Must be Contained! by Cindy Sheehan

Sound the alarm! Stop obsessing about horrible Republican politicians! Stop worrying what overpaid celebrity is doing to another overpaid celebrity or what he/she wore to the latest awards show!  Save the cute kitty and puppy memes for the post-Fukushima world. Soon, The Greatest American Survivor Idol will be a forgotten luxurious distraction. In my honest opinion, what is happening at Fukushima Dai'ichi transcends every shiny-key distraction that is waved in front of our faces by the establishment. Yes, the toxic waste dump we otherwise call "Washington, DC" is melting down faster than any other nuclear reactor could, but what's happening there is nothing but a Big Circus meant to distract you from what could potentially become the extinction event we have long feared. The Prime Minister of Japan has finally asked for international help with a situation that is spewing tons of toxic, radioactive waste into our air and ocean, so we should be deman

But I say to those who would eliminate my voice: I am ready, wherever and whenever you might strike. You can cut down the flower, but nothing can stop the coming of the spring.” ― Malalai Joya , Raising My Voice   October 13, 2013 For this week, the 13th anniversary of the by far LONGEST war in US History...Cindy rebroadcasts an interview she did with Afghan woman, Malalai Joya.  Sadly, the show is still very relevant!
