This just in from MoveOn.org:On Saturday, President Bush went on a bike ride. According to news reports, his schedule also included "a nap, some fishing, and some reading." But President Bush refused to meet with Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who lost her son in Iraq. Cindy is fast becoming an international spokeswoman against the war. Now, it's up to all of us to show that she's not alone in demanding answers from the president.
Cindy has asked supporters to start candlelight vigils in our communities to remind people of the terrible price of war. So, MoveOn, True Majority and Democracy for America have teamed up to organize nationwide "Vigils for Cindy Sheehan" (and for all military and gold star families) on Wednesday, Aug. 17, starting at 7:30 p.m. local time.
Locally, vigils will be held at the White House, Dupont Circle, the gazebo in Old Town Takoma Park, the Clarendon Metro Station and a dozen other spots in the DC metro area. You can click here for the entire list.
