       Police Drop Charges Against Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan who was arrested last night and dragged away from the State Of The Union speech in handcuffs for wearing an Anti-War T-shirt has had the charges against her dropped. In a typical ploy used by Bush operatives they unlawfully arrest anyone who might possibly show some dissent against the unelected boy king. They get them out of the way so the people who are watching on TV, and the Republican faithful don’t have to witness anything even remotely connected to reality.
This same tactic was used en masse at The 2004 Republican Convention where 1800 people were arrested, most for doing absolutely nothing at all that was against the law. 400 people were arrested in front of The World Trade Center simply for stepping off a sidewalk. (of which I was one.) After the event is over the people responsible for prosecuting these miscarriages of justice, simply drop the charges and everything is hunky dory, except for the people who had to spend many hours behind bars, and come away with bruises on their wrists from the handcuffs.
Of course everyone is willing to take the blame, and say it was their fault, and that they had no directive from The Republican Party to arrest anyone who might possibly not be a loyalty oath signing troll. In this case the dupe is Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer. "The officers made a good faith, but mistaken effort to enforce an old unwritten interpretation of the prohibitions about demonstrating in the Capitol," Trainer lied.
Come on, dude you have to do better then that. This guy actually thinks that someone might believe that the Police were enforcing some old law. That is a pile of bull that makes even the monkey himself look honest. What about Freedom of speech, and expression. This was a directive that has been in place only as long as Bush has been squatting in The White House.
"The policy and procedures were too vague, The failure to adequately prepare the officers is mine." Gainer continued, as he waited for the autographed picture of Bush, he was no doubt promised in return for taking the fall. That’s how Bush’s whole life has been. Everyone pays for what he does. Bush will probably even stiff him on the autograph.
Sheehan was wearing a T-Shirt that listed how many Americans have died in Iraq, one of which was her son Casey. That number by the way is currently at 2245 people who have died for The Bush lie. Sheehan should sue. These criminals need to be constantly held accountable for their every violation of The U.S. Constitution.

       Heres The Muhammad Cartoons That Are Causing a Controversy

I’m getting all kinds of hits today through Image Search for something called Muhammad cartoons, I had no idea what it was but since I do a lot of political comics I decided to check it out. From what I have gathered A Danish newspaper called Jyllands-Posten printed some comics last September of Muhammad depicting him a terrorist. It has caused outrage in the Islamic countries. Today some newspapers reprinted the comics which is causing a firestorm of controversary, and heating up internet picture search engines with requests by people who want to see the comics. I looked around and had a tough time trying to find these cartoons but finally I got ahold of them.

Now like I said I have never heard of these cartoons before today, but if you want to see them I am going to put them up. I don’t agree that Muhammad is a terrorist. I really don’t know all that much about him, I am putting the pictures up in the name of a free flow of information, and dialogue. Ok here they are.

       Cindy Sheehan's Statement on Her Arrest.

Cindy Sheehan

Dear Friends,

As most of you have probably heard, I was arrested before the State of the Union Address tonight.
I am speechless with fury at what happened and with grief over what we have lost in our country.
There have been lies from the police and distortions by the press. (Shocker) So this is what really happened:
This afternoon at the People's State of the Union Address in DC where I was joined by Congresspersons Lynn Woolsey and John Conyers, Ann Wright, Malik Rahim and John Cavanagh, Lynn brought me a ticket to the State of the Union Address. At that time, I was wearing the shirt that said: 2245 Dead. How many more?

After the PSOTU press conference, I was having second thoughts about going to the SOTU at the Capitol. I didn't feel comfortable going. I knew George Bush would say things that would hurt me and anger me and I knew that I couldn't disrupt the address because Lynn had given me the ticket and I didn't want to be disruptive out of respect for her. I, in fact, had given the ticket to John Bruhns who is in Iraq Veterans Against the War. However, Lynn's office had already called the media and everyone knew I was going to be there so I sucked it up and went.
I got the ticket back from John, and I met one of Congresswoman Barbara Lee's staffers in the Longworth Congressional Office building and we went to the Capitol via the undergroud tunnel. I went through security once, then had to use the rest room and went through security again.
My ticket was in the 5th gallery, front row, fourth seat in. The person who in a few minutes was to arrest me, helped me to my seat.
I had just sat down and I was warm from climbing 3 flights of stairs back up from the bathroom so I unzipped my jacket. I turned to the right to take my left arm out, when the same officer saw my shirt and yelled; "Protester." He then ran over to me, hauled me out of my seat and roughly (with my hands behind my back) shoved me up the stairs. I said something like "I'm going, do you have to be so rough?" By the way, his name is Mike Weight.
The officer ran with me to the elevators yelling at everyone to move out of the way. When we got to the elevators, he cuffed me and took me outside to await a squad car. On the way out, someone behind me said, "That's Cindy Sheehan." At which point the officer who arrested me said: "Take these steps slowly." I said, "You didn't care about being careful when you were dragging me up the other steps." He said, "That's because you were protesting." Wow, I get hauled out of the People's House because I was, "Protesting."
I was never told that I couldn't wear that shirt into the Congress. I was never asked to take it off or zip my jacket back up. If I had been asked to do any of those things...I would have, and written about the suppression of my freedom of speech later. I was immediately, and roughly (I have the bruises and muscle spasms to prove it) hauled off and arrested for "unlawful conduct."
After I had my personal items inventoried and my fingers printed, a nice Sgt. came in and looked at my shirt and said, "2245, huh? I just got back from there."
I told him that my son died there. That's when the enormity of my loss hit me. I have lost my son. I have lost my First Amendment rights. I have lost the country that I love. Where did America go? I started crying in pain.
What did Casey die for? What did the 2244 other brave young Americans die for? What are tens of thousands of them over there in harm's way for still? For this? I can't even wear a shrit that has the number of troops on it that George Bush and his arrogant and ignorant policies are responsible for killing.
I wore the shirt to make a statement. The press knew I was going to be there and I thought every once in awhile they would show me and I would have the shirt on. I did not wear it to be disruptive, or I would have unzipped my jacket during George's speech. If I had any idea what happens to people who wear shirts that make the neocons uncomfortable that I would be arrested...maybe I would have, but I didn't.
There have already been many wild stories out there.
I have some lawyers looking into filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the government for what happened tonight. I will file it. It is time to take our freedoms and our country back.
I don't want to live in a country that prohibits any person, whether he/she has paid the ulitmate price for that country, from wearing, saying, writing, or telephoning any negative statements about the government. That's why I am going to take my freedoms and liberties back. That's why I am not going to let Bushco take anything else away from me...or you.
I am so appreciative of the couple of hundred of protesters who came to the jail while I was locked up to show their support....we have so much potential for good...there is so much good in so many people.
Four hours and 2 jails after I was arrested, I was let out. Again, I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight.
Keep up the struggle...I promise you I will too.

Love and peace soon,
Cindy
