Anti-war activists Cindy Sheehan and Ann Wright were the guests of the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice for an event on May 17, 2006. Sheehan is active in the group Gold Star Families for Peace, and Wright is a former state department official who resigned on the day the war with Iraq began. The event was held at Charlotteville High School and was introduced by Sean McCord.
America has always been a great land of dissent and our independence has kept us free and strong! Americans become patriots when they stand up for our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice has answered the call of freedom, and begun the fight against the imperial reign of George W. Bush! With good cause and urgent need we press forward and speak out!
