The Smedley Butler Brigade of Veterans For Peace will sponsor a talk by well known peace activist and Gold Star mother Cindy Sheehan on Monday June 29 at 7:30 PM at the Regent Theatre, 7 Medford St. in Arlington. The event is free but there will be a requested donation to cover costs. Nobody will be turned away if they cannot afford or do not want to donate. The event is co-sponsored by Military Families Speak Out, 9/11 Truth, Citizens for an Informed Community, and United for Justice with Peace (UJP).</div><div><br></div><div>We are thrilled to present Cindy, who will speak on the topic of her latest book Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Cindy’s antiwar activism began after her son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. After the death of her son, Cindy listened to then President George W. Bush telling the nation that those killed in Iraq died for a "noble cause." Cindy had a simple and direct question for George W. Bush: "What noble cause did my son die for?"</div><div> </div><div>She took her question to President Bush while he was vacationing in August, 2005, and created a makeshift camp by the side of the road near Bush's Crawford Ranch. Soon afterward, the media began referring to her camp as "Camp Casey" and to Cindy as "Peace Mom". Over the next few weeks, thousands of supporters, including members of Congress, notable actors and singers, and civil rights activists, visited Camp Casey.</div><div><br></div><div>Cindy quit the Democratic Party after the Democratic-controlled Congress authorized continued funding for the war in Iraq, and ran for Congress against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2008 as an independent. She finished a distant second but ahead of the Republican candidate. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.</div><div><br></div><div>A flyer for this event can be found at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mfkale">http://tinyurl.com/mfkale</a> and a map of the area can be found at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mgg583">http://tinyurl.com/mgg583</a> The flyer is also enclosed as an attachment.</div><div><br></div><div>Please spread the word far and wide about this rare opportunity to hear Cindy Sheehan speak.</div><div><br></div><div>Peace,</div><div>Nate Goldshlag</div><div>Coordinator, Smedley Butler Brigade, Chapter 9 of Veterans For Peace</div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">---</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></p><div>Nate Goldshlag nateg at pobox.com (replace at with @)</div><div>Arlington, MA <a href="http://smedleyvfp.org">http://smedleyvfp.org</a></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></span></span></span></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span> </div></div></body></html>
