Calling On George W. Bush To Meet With Cindy Sheehan

WHEREAS:  Cindy Sheehan has lost her son, who died fighting as an American serviceman in Iraq, and other Gold Star Families for Peace have lost children serving in the U.S. military in Iraq; and
 
WHEREAS:  False statements made by the Bush Administration resulted in American troops going into war in Iraq and resulted in Cindy Sheehan's son being sent to die in Iraq; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:  That the California Democratic Party calls on George W. Bush to meet with Cindy Sheehan and the members of the Gold Star Families for Peace to explain why he and members of his Administration made false statements that resulted in a long-term war in Iraq and the deaths of their loved ones; and to tell the truth about the real reasons that he sent Casey Sheehan and other servicemen and women to their deaths in Iraq.
