With Cindy back in California attending to her mother's illness, it is more important than ever that we think of ways to support her cause and push back against the right wing smear campaign she is facing.
Last week, we sent a
letter signed by 40 Members of Congress supporting Cindy, and sought contributions to support her. This week, I am organizing a campaign to encourage supporters to write letters and guest editorials supporting Cindy to submit to their local papers. My initial goal of 1,000 letters was met today, so with the help of the Kos community, I would like to expand the goal to 2,000. If you would like to write a letter and have it automatically submitted to your local paper,

Crawford Action Center on my web site which includes a variety of video and audio clips, talking points and other materials.
There is no doubt that Cindy and the other Gold Star families have touched a nerve in this country. Now more than ever, we need to let the world know that we support Cindy and her cause.
