The “Sign-On Letter” We’d Like to See
 
Dear Barry,

We have signed numerous letters to you calling for you to do numerous things that many of us would like to see you do—including, but not limited to:

  • Institution of a National Single-Payer Health Care system
  • Bringing US troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan
  • Quit bombing Pakistan with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones)
  • Not bomb Libya
  • Free Bradley Manning
  • Ending of the use of nuclear technology for energy
  • Investigate the Bush crime cabal
  • Investigate and punish those responsible for contaminating the Gulf of Mexico
  • Denouncing US sanctions against Venezuela
  • Not to reauthorize the illegal and immoral USA PATRIOT ACT
  • Not to resume military tribunals in Guantanamo
  • To close Guantanamo
  • Rapidly develop a zero carbon economy
  • End unconditional US support of Israel in its immoral occupation of Palestine (including withholding over 3 billion dollars/year in foreign aid).
You’ve made it pretty clear in the last two and a half years, however, that you don’t have to listen to principled criticism of your actions from the “left.” You and members of your administration have very blatantly accused those who dare to challenge you from the left side of the political spectrum as either “crazy” or “on drugs.”

It’s funny (sad) that you continually pander to, and simultaneously blame, the political fascist, racist right when its policies are violent and economically oppressive to the working-class. On any (every) given day that means your political decisions are, yes, violent and economically oppressive, ecologically destructive, and socially irresponsible.

Barry—we aren’t begging you to do anything, and our letter carries no clout because we never supported you and we never intend to support you; rather, we just wanted to write this to let you know that we aren’t buying the Imperial BS for which you are currently Head Salesman.

We want to let you know that there are a few people out here in the realm who see you for the fraud that you are.

Oh, the Emperor does have clothes, all right, but they are the lederhosen of a marionette cheerfully and willfully dancing for his corporate puppeteers.

Cheers!

This Blog Will Become Inactive Soon (Message from Cindy)

    Still Truth-seeking After All These Years!     6 August 2022   Dear Loyal Soapbox Reader/Listener,   I have had this blog for 13 years now and there are almost 2k posts and 400 podcasts.    This service has become very unwieldly to use with the functionality becoming archaic and as a google product, it has begun to "unpublish" some posts that it deems inappropriate.   However, I will leave it up for eternity because it does have valuable archives and historical relevance, but I won't be updating it.   Please follow me at my new home at Substack   Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox Newsletter    There, I have found renewed motivation and vigor to attack the people and systems of our oppression and I am posting new Soapbox podcasts and have a new Video Cast called: Shee-Lilly which is a weekly collaboration between me and my co-host Dakotah Lilly (a Soapbox friend and favorite).   If you have not already, please check out our new home, and subscribe to get reminders every time

  SheeLilly#2 Cindy and Dakotah Rate the Final Season of the USA Cindy Sheehan Jun 10 Share This week on SheeLilly, Cindy Sheehan and Dakotah Lilly analyze the very collapse of the U.S. Empire that is happening right before our eyes. From Sloppy Joe Biden’s insane war against Russia in Ukraine and the Sanction Chickens coming home to roost here in the U.S., there is very little to be hopeful about, but we find something; If the U.S. collapses, how can we work in our communities to overcome the collapse and come back stronger!
