Vigil for Cindy Sheehan

Here's a visible way you can show your support for Cindy Sheehan, even if you're not near the Crawford Texas Ranch area. MoveOn.org, True Majority and Democracy for America is sponsoring a candelight vigil in a town near you: TONIGHT August 17th at 7:30 p.m. Over 1530 gatherings are planned in various communities to show support for Cindy and her call for an end to the war.

Cindy has asked supporters to start the candelight vigil and according to their website: Our vigils will be simple and dignified. Together, we'll acknowledge the sacrifices made by Cindy Sheehan, her son, Casey and the more than 1,800 brave American men and women who have given their lives in Iraq and their moms and families.

To find out where one is located near you go to the MoveOn Political Action site. I found nine locations in Brooklyn alone. If you're in the NYC area a good place is Washington Square Park in the Village, gathering at the foot of the arch.
