SEND THIS LETTER TO GEORGE W.
BUSH!
LET THE PRESIDENT KNOW THAT YOU
SUPPORT OUR WAR VETERANS &
THEIR FAMILIES!
The President of
the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We write to
respectfully urge you to meet with Cindy Sheehan and other
relatives of fallen soldiers who request a meeting to discuss
their deep concerns about the war in Iraq. We also request
that you help ensure that Ms. Sheehan and her colleagues are
not arrested as long as they continue to wait for a meeting
with you at their location in the peaceable and legal manner
that they have maintained thus far.
Since the loss
of her son, Ms. Sheehan and other families have been committed
to helping family members of other soldiers who have been lost
in Iraq. Ms. Sheehan, in fact, founded Gold Star Families for
Peace, a support organization for families of fallen soldiers.
For several days now, she has been waiting outside your
ranch, hoping to meet with you about the loss of her son and
the failure to discover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Ms. Sheehan has indicated that she is planning to continue
her vigil for the entirety of your vacation at your Crawford
complex if necessary.
Given the
recent tragic loss of American lives in Iraq, and the many
deaths and injuries American troops have sustained since the
beginning of the war, we hope that you can appreciate why the
family members believe it so important that they exercise
their rights as citizens to petition their government. We
believe it would send an unfortunate message to other
relatives and soldiers if grieving parents were arrested while
exercising their constitutional rights.
Thank you very
much for you assistance with this matter. We hope that you
will be able to make time to meet with Ms. Sheehan and her
colleagues and also ensure they are treated fairly while
awaiting this important appointment.
Sincerely,
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH TO
STOP IGNORING
WAR VETERANS
AND THEIR FAMILIES!! |
