I see the wrangle dangle back and forth on these boards about her. She has become the God fearing "lightning rod". Why? Like Hillary, I ask why? Is it because she is a woman and smart? You know what I see? I see a parent right full of conviction. Look into her eyes when she talks. I see a parent who has lost a child. Believe me, I see it right there front and center. I know, as a parent who has lost a child, I especially know what to look for...it isn't hard to see. Her love for that child is so deep that instead of wallowing in the day to day existence feeling that loss, took it and turned it into something positive so others wouldn't have to go through what she has. It is easy for most of us to sit safe in our homes, comfortable in front of their computers tapping out their opinions on the keyboard for few to see. Cindy is someone who saw through the lies and miscarriage of justice this war has brought upon all of us and is DOING something about it. You may ask what are her motives? Money? Power? Love? My money is on the third. She has been publicly ridiculed, arrested in front of national cameras, sat in extreme heat to protest day after day, lost all her money and cost her a marrage...to name a few. I, for one, am very grateful for the work she has done. I see a woman with an incredible amount of love for her child...from that love came courage, the type of courage I could only dream about having myself, and above all....integrity. Thank you Cindy.
