I am a Charity!

Dear Mr. Obama,

I hear that you were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize recently in Oslo,
Norway and that, in addition to that spiffy medal, it comes with 1.4
million tax-free dollars that you are going to "donate to charity."

I just want to let you know that there are still some of us in the US
who oppose the wars, even though you are president, and its nothing
personal, but I vehemently oppose your wars and especially oppose the
escalation of troops to Afghanistan and the fact that there has been
no de-escalation from Iraq.

It has been super-tough being a peace activist since you took office,
because a lot of my colleagues supported your candidacy and gave you a
"wait and see"and "give him a chance," while I have been working
against these policies since Bush was president and have never stopped.

Well, I don´t know if you have heard, but I am planning on setting up
a Camp right across the street from you house on the lawn of the
Washington Monument called--Camp OUT NOW--and, not only will it be an
anti-war Camp, but it will also be a community for people who have
lost their jobs and homes during the past years of the Goldman Sachs
depression. Also, while the need is rising, the city of Washington, DC
is cutting back on services for the poor.

Mr. Obama, Camp OUT NOW will provide services to these people AND be
the launching pad for what we hope will end the mad wars for profit
and imperial power in Iraq-Afghanistan- Pakistan.
You proposed a "Just War" theory during your Nobel acceptance speech
and I just want to also let you know that we don´t think, and never
have thought, these wars are "Just," but we think what we are doing,
beginning March 13th is extremely, "Just." I think if you thought
about it really hard, you would agree. We are saving the lives of
Americans and our brothers and sisters in the Middle East.

Well, Mr. Obama, the reason that I am writing to you is to apply for
part of that money that you will be donating to charity. We don´t need
all of it, but my coalition--Peace of the Action--could use a couple
of hundred thousand of it!

Please go to www.PeaceoftheActio n.org for more info about our efforts,
which we are hoping will, "Make you do it."

You can go to www.Paypal.com and put in my email address: Cindy@CindySheehans Soapbox.com
to make a donation online, or mail a check to:

PO BOX 6264
Vacaville, Ca 95696

You did say, time and again, during your campaign that we the people
had to "make you," and Peace of the Action will do just that! We just
want to be of service to show you the way to Peace.

Thanks for your consideration,

Cindy Sheehan
Director of the Peace of the Action Coalition
