Dear President Bush

Description

In writings, speeches, and an interview conducted in the wake of the famous Camp Casey summer in Crawford, Texas, Cindy Sheehan embraces her personal transformation into America's most outspoken advocate for peace. From her trip to the World Social Forum in Venezuela to her ouster from the State of the Union address, Sheehan continues to speak out on topics such as civil disobedience, US foreign policy, New Orleans, military recruitment, her son Casey's death on his fifth day in Iraq, and soldiers who resist.

Cindy Sheehan has authored five books, Revolution, A Love Story is her latest. Cindy's oldest child, Casey, was killed in Iraq on April 04, 2004 in a war that neither she nor he supported. Cindy garnered international notoriety in the summer of 2005 when she camped out in front of the vacation home of then US president, George Bush, in Crawford, Tx. Sheehan is mother to three surviving children and four grandbabies. She divides her time between writing, hosting her own radio show, The Soapbox, traveling to work for peace and justice, and playing with her grandchildren. Cindy is convinced true change does not exist in the current capitalist system.
