Why I Am Leaving the
Democratic Party
Hello, my name is Cindy Sheehan and my son Casey Sheehan was
killed on April 04, 2004 in Sadr City , Baghdad , Iraq . He was
killed when the Republicans still were in control of Congress.
Naively, I set off on my tireless campaign calling on Congress
to rescind George's authority to wage his war of terror while
asking him "for what noble cause" did Casey and thousands of
other have to die. Now, with Democrats in control of Congress, I
have lost my optimistic naiveté and have become cynically
pessimistic as I see you all caving into "Mr. 28%"
There is absolutely no sane or defensible reason for you to hand
Bloody King George more money to condemn more of our brave,
tired, and damaged soldiers and the people of Iraq to more death
and carnage. You think giving him more money is politically
expedient, but it is a moral abomination and every second the
occupation of Iraq endures, you all have more blood on your
hands.
