Hello,I'm waiting with trepidation for news of the federal budget,which will
be released tomorrow, hoping for lots of funding to combat climate change.
It's an exciting week. Two other events, Cindy Sheehan's speaking engagement
on Thursday and a fun event, a Fair Trade Fair on Saturday. Here's to

Families for Peace (US)Cindy Sheehan is a founding member of Gold Star
Families for Peace and a leading figure of the anti-war movement in the
United States. A military mother whose son, Specialist Casey Sheehan, was
killed in Iraq in April  2004, Cindy struck a chord with millions of
Americans when she camped outside George Bush's Texas ranch in 2005
demanding to know the truth about why Bush took the US to war. Cindy has
since spoken to audiences around the world about her quest for peace and
justice and to bring US troops home from Iraq. Cindy will be joined by
military mom and Gold Star Family member Michelle De Ford whose son, Sgt.
David Johnson, was killed in Iraq in September 2004.  Cindy will speak in
