I figured this would be okay since many of these threads end up political even if they don't start out that way....

Cindy Sheehan is the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq. She continues her vigil outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, and has been joined by a number of other families who have lost children to this war. Cindy waits in order to ask Bush one question: what is the noble cause for which her son died? So far, Bush has refused to meet with her. She will stay there for the duration of his five-week vacation.

Cindy has asked that people around the country hold and participate in candlelight vigils to support her and call for an end to the war.

There are several being held in the neighborhood and throughout NYC. Go to http://www.moveonpac.org/event/events/index.html?action_id=24
