It's Only a Visit

So many parents of our brave soldiers who have lost their lives in the war simply get ignored. California mother Cindy Sheehan found the national press. All she wants is a meeting. If Bush still backs the war and his decisions 100% as he says, then why is he so afraid to meet with a group of people requesting an hour of his time who just want to feel heard? Ms. Sheehan did not say that she would camp outside his ranch until he pulls our troops out of Iraq. She merely said she would be there during his vacation unless he met with her.

Neighbors are getting violent - taking shots, running over crosses. Now they are raising their voices to lawmakers, trying to force out the protestors. Citizens of Crawford, if you truly fear for the safety of the neighborhood children, why don't you ask your neighbor why he was shooting at the "doves" over a large mass of people? Why didn't you complain about someone who would run over crosses bearing the names of our nation's fallen heroes? Sadly, these slaps in the face of democracy are ignored because the traffic makes it hard for you to get around the town.

And Mr. President. A good percentage of Americans work hard and only receive 2 weeks of vacation a year. Some even less. Some, like yourself, are fortunate enough to have more. You have 5 weeks. Surely you can spare an hour. It's only a visit.
