Dear Karl Roveby
Cindy Sheehan
Last weekend, you said that I was a clown and the antiwar movement was "non-existent." I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of people who showed up to protest this war and George's failed policies know that they don't exist. It is so incredible to me that you think that you can wish us away by saying we aren't real. Well, Karl and Co., we are real, we do exist, and we are not going away until this illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq is over. I may be a clown, Karl, but you preside over a malevolent three-ring circus: the Bush administration. Our rally was overwhelming and powerful. Washington, DC, was filled with energetic and proud Americans who came from all over to raise their voices in unison against the criminals who run our government and their disastrous policies that are making our nation more vulnerable to all kinds of attacks (natural and Bush-made disasters). Many people told me, “thank you for coming.” I told them, "thank you! " At the Camp Casey reunion after the rally, I was so overcome with emotion and gratitude. All of us in the Camp Casey movement are so proud and thrilled that Americans showed up in such great numbers. So much happened! I am exhausted but very content. I am again filled with a sense of hope that we will get our country back and bring our troops home. I was also thrilled at the number of young people who came out. That is another great sign.

As
I noted at the White House, the peacemakers are light and the warmakers
are dark. And darkness can never overcome the light. As long as
there is one tiny flame, the darkness cannot win. Indeed, the darkness
has already lost because our beacons of peace and truth are shining
for the entire world to see. And it is a very pretty sight, Karl.
