I'm posting this NOT because I want to BASH Sheryl (everyone knows how much I love that woman)...But just because this is how I have felt all along. I have seen the bashers, the pro-this and pro-that, anti-this & anti-that...I have kept quiet through it all. Outside of about 2 or 3 Forum peeps - nobody else knows my opinion. But this is one I happen to agree with....Snide remarks aside, it makes a point. Recently, the Shelby County Alabama Legislative Delegation hosted a "Stand Up for America Rally." More than 1,200 people attended including featured speakers Chief Justice Roy Moore, Adjutant General Mark Bowen and Alabama State Auditor Beth Chapman. Attached is a copy of Mrs. Chapman's speech, which resulted in five standing ovations, tremendous applause and an encore. It's a short read and well worth it. I hope you enjoy it as we continue to "Stand up for America!" Stand Up for America Rally Speech By: Beth Chapman I'm here tonight because men and women of the United States military have given their lives for my freedom. I am not here tonight because Sheryl Crow, Rosie O'Donnell, Martin Sheen, George Clooney, Jane Fonda or Phil Donahue, sacrificed their lives for me. If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie stars or musicians, but the United States Military who fought on the shores of Iwo Jima, the jungles of Vietnam, and the beaches of Normandy. Tonight, I say we should support the President of the United States and the U.S. Military and tell the liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else. After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn't be allowed the freedom of speech they're being given here today. Ironically, they would be put to death at the hands of Sadam Husssein or Osama Bin Laden. I want to know how the very people who are against war because of the loss of life, can possibly be the same people who are for abortion? They are the same people who are for animal rights but against the rights of the unborn. The movie stars say they want to go to Iraq and serve as "human shields" for the Iraqis. I say let them buy a one-way ticket and go. No one likes war. I hate war! But the one thing I hate more is the fact that this country has been forced into war-innocent people have lost their lives - - and there but for the grace of God, it could have been my brother, my husband, or even worse my own son. On December 7, 1941, there are no records of movie stars treading the blazing waters of Pearl Harbor. On September 11, 2001; there are no photos of movie stars standing as "human shields" against the debris and falling bodies tumbling from the World Trade Center. There were only policemen and firemen - - -underpaid civil servants who gave their all with nothing expected in return. When the USS Cole was bombed, there were no movie stars guarding the ship - - where were the human shields then? If America's movie stars want to be human shields, let them shield the gang-ridden streets of Los Angeles, or New York City, let them shield the lives of the children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them down to sleep on the floor each night to shelter them from stray bullets. If they want to be human shields, I say let them shield the men and women of honesty and integrity that epitomizes courage and embody the spirit of freedom by wearing the proud uniforms of the United States Military. Those are the people who have earned and deserve shielding! Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal activists, but because of brave men and women who hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so that we all may live in freedom. After all - "What greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friend," or in this case a country. We should give our military honor and acknowledgement and not let their lives be in vain. If you want to see true human shields, walk through Arlington Cemetery. There lie human shields, heroes, and the BRAVE Americans who didn't get on television and talk about being a human shield - they were human shields. I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought and paid for it with their lives in the past - - those who will protect it in the present and defend it in the future. America has remained silent too long! God-fearing people have remained silent too long! We must lift our voices united in a humble prayer to God for guidance and the strength and courage to sustain us throughout whatever the future may hold. After the tragic events of Sept. 11th, my then eleven - -year-old son said terrorism is a war against them and us and if you're not one of us, then you're one of them. So in closing tonight, let us be of one accord, let us stand proud, and let us be the human shields of prayer, encouragement and support for the President, our troops and their families and our country. May God bless America, the land of the free, the home of the brave and the greatest country on the face of this earth!

As you maybe are aware, the fan forum on Sheryl's official site is off-line for the moment. Sheryl's last letter was quoted last night in the Drudge Report (www.drudgereport.com) and that's where they apparently came from. The flames and hatred got to be too much for me to handle as moderator and this morning Interscope shut the site down. For the moment, the fan forum will remain down - probably until Monday next week. You can still access your PM's if you want through any of the other Interscope boards (No Doubt, Vanessa Carlton, etc.). The main part of the site is working and will remain open. www.sherylcrow.com I spoke with Sheryl's manager this afternoon and Sheryl is saddened that we had to close the site, and I think you'll see a message from Sheryl about this on the main part of the site in the next day or so. If my email reached you as a BCC or more than once and you did not want it, I'm sorry. There's no "list" and you won't receive another message this way. If you need to reply to me, please do so at my email address - orialv15@mindspring.com - and not through the "Sheryl-crew" list service. Gregg.

I'm not happy it chose to label my email as a spam, but sometimes it does that to a legit message. So if you see the mail is from the crew and marked as spam, it's probably not. Most spam that comes through bounces to me as a non member submmission and I never let it go through. ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V6 #46 ********************************
