DESCRIPTION:Cindy Sheehan, mother of Casey Sheehan, a US Soldier slain in Iraq in 2004, 
 will be speaking at Fresno State University’s Satellite Student Union on 
 Wednesday, October 25th at 7 p.m. The event is being sponsored by the 
 Campus Peace and Civil Liberties Coalition, as well as several other local 
 organizations and individuals including Peace Fresno, the Fresno Center for 
 Nonviolence, Reedley Peace Center, Women’s International League for Peace 
 and Freedom, the Central Valley Counter-Recruitment Coalition, Fresno Free 
 College Foundation/KFCF 88.1 fm, KPFT 790 am, local attorney Patience 
 Milrod, and the Steve Haze for Congress campaign.\n\n	Cindy Sheehan became 
 known internationally when she camped out in front of George Bush’s home 
 in Crawford Texas in August of 2005 demanding to know for what “noble 
 cause” her son had died.  President Bush refused to meet with her, and 
 she was soon joined at “Camp Casey” by dozens of Iraq Veterans, 
 military families, and others who were inspired by her courage and 
 determination.\n\n	She has since taken her campaign to bring the troops 
 home to cities around the country and the world, insisting that “not one 
 more mother’s child” die in a war that she claims was based on lies 
 told to the American people.  Co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace, 
 an organization of families who have lost loved ones fighting in Iraq, she 
 has just authored a book called “Peace Mom, A Mother’s Journey through 
 Heartache to Activism.”  \n\n	The event at Fresno State is free to the 
 public, and the first several rows of seats will be reserved for those with 
 family members in the military.  \n\n	There will also be a wine and cheese 
 reception for Cindy held at 5 p.m. at Unitarian Universalist Church at 4144 
 N. Millbrook.  A donations of $25 or more is requested to attend the 
 reception, and proceeds will go to further the work of Gold Star Families 
 for Peace, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\n	For tickets or more 
 information, please contact the Fresno Center for Non-Violence at (559) 
 237-3223.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/10/06/18318538.php
