War protester Cindy Sheehan's book being released Wednesday

KGBT4

FORT WORTH, Texas Activist Cindy Sheehan's journal entries are being published in a new book called "Not One More Mother's Child" that's set to be released Wednesday.

Sheehan camped out near President Bush's Crawford ranch in August, refusing to leave until the president met with her or ended his ranch vacation.

Her 24-year-old soldier son Casey died in Iraq last year.

In one chapter, she chronicles the daily events of the 26-day protest, such as being bombarded with media interviews, the campsite wedding of two peace activists and visits from Martin Sheen, Joan Baez and the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Sheehan says the book is based on writings she made each night, after she slipped away to her tent or RV for a few quiet moments on her laptop.

The 15 dollar paperback also contains some of her speeches to peace groups earlier this year, letters to politicians and new writings since leaving Crawford.

The publisher says Sheehan was paid a "modest" advance for the book.

The White House did not return calls seeking comment about the book.

no she should get a wake up call,
"for all the free people that still protest.
your welcome we protect you and your protected by the best.
your voice is strong and loud but who will fight for you?
no one standing in your crowd.
we are your fathers,brothers,and sons.
we wear the boots and carry the guns.
we are the ones that leave all we own.
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
we are the ones who fight and die.
we might not be able to save the world but at least we try.
we walked the paths to where we're at.
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your groups and complain.
take a look in the back of your brain.
iin order for that flag you love to fly.
wars must be fought and men must die.
we came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
if thats not respected, we'd rather stay here.
so please stop yelling and put down your signs.
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
when the conflict is over and all is well.
be thankful we chose to go through this hell."
-a U.S. soldier.-

She even gets media attention overhere, but what is her point besides the death of her son? I heard that she reckons she has got a worthy opinion on all matters nowadays..... Imo she has the right to be critical about the conflict in Iraq and the demise of het son..... but she should stick to that. Shouting things you know little about makes a fool of you and ruins the only good point you were trying to make. We have seen that before and we will after her.....

It's like any celebrity who thinks their opinion matters more than that of regular people because they are a celebrity.

Not an international best seller in my opinion, but if I come across it I might check it out - just out of my curiosity to see what her stand is and if her writings makes any valid sense.
