Cindy Sheehan Plans To Be In Audience At Bush Address(SOTU)
http://www.nbc11.com/news/6634368/detail.html

Cindy Sheehan said she will be part of the live audience during the president's State of the Union speech to congress Tuesday.

Bay Area Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave anti-war activist a gallery pass late Tuesday, just hours before the planned State of the Union speech. Sheehan was in Washington to protest the president during his national address, but then came word she was invited to see the speech live.

A spokesman for Sheehan says she decided to accept the invitation two hours prior to the speech. The spokesman also said that Sheehan will be respectful and listen to the address because she is a guest of a member of congress.

Sheehan is expected to fly back to Berkeley Wednesday. She announced over the weekend that she is considering running for Senate against Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

6. It'd be nice if they did...I'd love to see the look on her face..
She may be able to keep quiet but I don't think she'll be able to hide the look on her face. I couldn't do it. I can't even watch him on TV without involuntarily shouting expletives at the screen.

9. She Ought to Hold Up the "1-Finger Victory Salute" Sign...

10. She should go nuts and start throwing things
Then with the whole world watching she can get her message out and demand that Bush meet with her.

16. Pacifica Radio said she didn't have a banner
but wore a tee shirt with the number of soldiers killed in Iraq on it. She was arrested for wearing the tee shirt.

17. Arrested for wearing a tee-shirt?
A tee-shirt can be perceived as a threat? They have no business holding her for exercising her 1st amendment rights. If she had a ticket and was not disorderly, they have no business messing with her. Fucking scum.
