Army Spc. Casey Sheehan was killed in Baghdad on April 4, 2004. His younger sister, Carly, wrote this poem about her brother's death. Carly's poem has been posted at the Veterans for Peace memorial in Santa Barbara, California and is making quite an impact on those who have read it.

Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son? The torrential rains of a mother's weaping will never be done. They call him a hero. You should be glad that he's the one, but... Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?
Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries? He must be brave, because his boy died for another man's lies The only grief he allows himself are long deep sighs Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries?
Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave? They say that he died, so that the flag will continue to wave But I believe he died because they had oil to save Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave?
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep? The leaders want to keep you numb, so the pain won't be so deep But if we the people let them continue, another mother will weep Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep?
CARLY SHEEHAN IS THE DAUGHTER OF CINDY SHEEHAN
Dennis and Robbi had the privilege to be at the Crawford Peace House in Crawford, TX the day she arrived. We rode on the 'Impeachment Bus' with her to within miles of G W Bush's house and walked another mile or so with the wonderful crowd that came out to give their support.
We were also able to be at the Crawford Peace house at the unveiling of the Cindy Sheehan Sculpture!!!

BUSH QUOTES

"These people are trying to shake the will of the Iraqi citizens, and they want us to leave...and I think the world would be better off if we did leave..."

�In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences.�

At a bill signing ceremony in the White House on August 5, George Bush remarked, "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

"Tribal sovereignty means that -- it's sovereign. You're a -- you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."

�In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences.�

�As you notice, when there's a hole in the ground and a person is able to crawl into it in a country the size of California, it means we're on a scavenger hunt for terror, and find these terrorists who hide in holes is to get people coming forth to describe the location of the hole, is to give clues and data. And we're on it.�

�It's a different kind of combat mission, but, nevertheless, it's combat, just ask the kids that are over there killing and being shot at.�

�Security is the essential roadblock to achieving the road map to peace.�

�The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.�

�I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.�

- George W. Bush, President Of The United States Of America
