Cindy Sheehan Meets Our Future
Cindy Sheehan and her travelling Camp Casey came through the North Carolina Triangle yesterday, making a stop in Raleigh. There she met some of Raleigh's best and brightest:
Today in Raleigh, NC at the University, there were some Young Republicans who support the President and support the war. I tried to get one of the many recruiters who were on campus to go over and sign them up for the service, but they wouldn't even look at me. I think the recruiters missed a golden opportunity to swell the ranks. I have a feeling that the young killing supporters wouldn't be willing to go over and put their money where their mouths are. One of the fine young American baby chicken hawks told one of the members of our tour whose brother was killed in Iraq that: "someone has to stay in school and employ people." Sounds like the "Dick Cheney" alternative to serving your country to me.
She also has some interesting reflections on the time she spent with people in Louisiana here and here.
