I am outraged (and scared to death) that Cindy Sheehan can be arrested for wearing a T shirt bearing an anti-war sentiment. I don’t care if she was in the Capitol Building. I don’t care if Bush saw it. I don’t care if it said FUCK BUSH on it. I don’t care WHAT excuse they dream up about homeland security or whatever --there is no excuse for her arrest. This is an outright violation of her civil right to free speech. If they can violate her rights, they can violate mine. I wish everyone would wake up and realize that and start being antagonized when people’s civil rights are stomped all over. Make some noise. Send an email to your congressmen, senator, the president and be a pain in the ass! We, as a people, must be ready to defend anyone’s right to express their viewpoint, no matter how repugnant it might be. Whether that’s Cindy Sheehan or the Klan doesn’t matter. We must take our morals and beliefs out of the mix! To put it simply -- people died to ensure our freedom to express ourselves.
