Sometimes it takes something surprising like Cindy Sheehan’s stand against President Bush to make you realize that by sitting and doing nothing, you are by default supporting the status quo. And often, the status quo (existing conditions) are not good.

If there is something I know about myself, I do not support President Bush and his political agenda. So I realized, helped by the very helpful MoveOn, that I think I will do something this time around. And maybe next time something comes up. And the time after that.

If you disagree with Cindy Sheehan, that’s one thing. If you agree with her, however, now is the time to say or do something.
Come join us for a candelight vigil in front of the White House this Wednesday at 7:30 PM. Come join us if you believe the way President Bush is treating Cindy is pretty damn shitty. Come if you would like to spend a quiet moment thinking about those who have died at the war in Iraq.

There is capacity for thousands of people. I want a BIG block of signing deaf people right there, front and center. Why not come? If anything… it’ll be a mini DPHH. Bring your candles, I’ll bring mine. We’ll share them. And talk. And sweat.

CANDELIGHT VIGIL @ WHITE HOUSE
7:30 PM Wednesday, 5/17

Along H Street (north end of Lafayette Park). Look for the signing hands. Farragut North, Farragut West metro.

To help MoveOn count how many people are going, please sign up here. You can contact me at deafdc@random.sent.at. Contact everyone you can, post on your blogs, send emails, pages… let’s make this a huge turnout!
