Coming to Crawford, Texas... "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour

Deborah Johns of Marine Moms joins me at 7AM to talk about...

(SACRAMENTO) – The national organization that supports our troops and the war against terrorism, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), is announcing today the formation of the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” tour.

Move America Forward will lead a caravan of military family members opposed to the anti-military antics of Cindy Sheehan (the anti-war activist) to Crawford, Texas. The caravan will depart for Crawford early next week from different locations around the country. Move America Forward is working with a number of organizations around the nation to arrange for these multiple caravans.

The main group will depart from San Francisco next Monday, launched by Move America Forward’s Chairman, Melanie Morgan, from her radio show on KSFO Radio. The trip will culminate in a rally in Crawford on Saturday, August 27, 2005 to support our troops AND their mission in Iraq.

“The overwhelming majority of military families support their loved ones and the missions they are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. These military families do not share Cindy Sheehan’s view of the war on terrorism, and the true story needs to be told. We invite Americans to join us en masse in Crawford, Texas on August 27 so we can send a message to terrorists around the world that American resolve is stronger than ever,” Morgan said.

Deborah Johns of Marine Moms will lead the delegation from San Francisco. Her son, William, has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and she appears in a television commercial produced by Move America Forward where she proclaims her support for our troops and their fight against terrorism.

“Cindy Sheehan doesn’t speak for me, nor does she speak for any of the military families that I have been involved with. I am deeply sorry for Ms. Sheehan’s loss; however, Ms. Sheehan’s actions are only causing pain to those of us who have loved ones serving in the war against terrorism. We understand the need to fight the terrorists overseas rather than face attack here at home,” said Deborah Johns.

“We understand that it was the terrorists led by Al Qaeda in Iraq who are responsible for the deaths of U.S. service members, including Casey Sheehan,” concluded Johns.

The main caravan will stop at numerous destinations along the way for rallies, meetings with supporters, press conferences and media interviews.

Move America Forward will also broadcast national television ads to raise awareness of the caravan and rally.

Move America Forward will provide continuous updates on the caravan and rally at its website – www.MoveAmericaForward.org.
