Sheehan Moves Protest to Yongsan
|I think Nomad is right, maybe Cindy Sheehan did want to get some Taco Bell after all. From the Stars and Stripes:
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and a handful of other Americans on Tuesday afternoon held their passports in front of South Korean riot police outside a main gate onto Yongsan Garrison, requesting a meeting with U.S. Forces Korea’s commanding general.
Their blue booklets and their chants for the U.S. military to halt base expansion plans south of Seoul went unanswered during the 40-minute long protest.
“My father served at this base,†Sheehan said as she stood in front of Gate 5 at Yongsan Garrison. “I have the right as an American to come onto this base.â€
No Ms. Sheehan you don’t have the right to enter a US military installation because only US military ID card holders are allowed on post or you can have a valid ID card holder sign you in on post. Better yet maybe you can become a Yongsan housekeeper; that appears to be the easiest way to get an ID card now a days. Then again that would mean you would have to work for living instead of getting your free hand outs from your rich liberal puppet masters. If she is getting all this money through a non-profit I would love to see the book keeping because aren’t non-profits supposed to disclose their finances? I would love to see if she pays any taxes on anything considering the lifestyle she is now living.
Secondly you should be deported from Korea because as the lawyer Brendon Carr noted, foreigners on a tourist visa cannot conduct political activity in Korea. I’m sure the Korean government is just letting her get away this because they don’t want to get any bad press and figure she will just go away as quickly as she popped up.
