Controversial activist to speak at Ballard church

Posted by Geeky Swedes on July 2nd, 2009

Peace activist and anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan has been invited to speak at Trinity United Methodist Church later this month. Sheehan made headlines in 2005 by camping outside of President Bush’s Crawford, Texas home with a contingent of Veterans for Peace after her son Casey was killed in Iraq the year before. In the last four years she has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and has written several books. The stop in Ballard is to promote her fourth book, “Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution”. She will be speaking on July 25th at 7 p.m.
