Do not put off what you can do today. Express yourself and let your shine. These are my thoughts and feelings...now.

Cindy Sheehan - A Leader
She made a choice, went against the mainstream because she felt deeply about an issue close to her heart. She put in a grassroots effort to get her story in the media spotlight and can you blame her? Her son died and she has every right to ask questions about what he died for. We do live in America.
I think she is a true leader. Being a leader isn't about raising 25 million dollars so you can have buttons and get commericials on prime time broadcasts. A leader stands behind what he or she believes in and puts it all on the line (i.e. her reputation). She isn't afraid to piss people off and put the truth out there. The dead and wounded totals are rising in a war that started by misleading the American people.
Check out her organization: Gold Star Familes for Peace
Unfortunately, she's fed up with the system and is finished working in, or outside of this system. What a shame. Check out her reasons @ Daily Kos.
