Cindy Sheehan Speaks Out
By WEBN Staff8/25/08
There are two reasons that peace activist Cindy Sheehan is here in Denver. First, she has once again taken her leadership role in the anti-war movement. It is her way to honor her son Casey who was killed as a soldier in Iraq. Second, she is campaigning as an Independent Congressional candidate from California. This is a tough road since she is challenging Democratic House Speaker Namcy Pelosi in the San Francisco Bay area. Sheehan's main issue is, of course, ending the Iraq War. However her other stands include a single payer health insurance plan, ending free trade agreements, and immigration worker rights.
