Sheehan plans to resume war protest near Bush ranch next week


CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush plans to spend Thanksgiving at his ranch in Crawford, Texas -- and Cindy Sheehan will be there, too.

Sheehan and about a dozen supporters plan to return to their old campsite near the president's ranch.

Sheehan has been protesting the war in Iraq since her 24-year-old son was killed there last year. She spent 26 days in August camped near the president's ranch, demanding a meeting.

There was no meeting but Sheehan drew thousands of supporters, prompting McLennan County officials to impose new limits on roadside camping. Sheehan and her supporters say they're prepared to be arrested.

1. This would be great

it would really drive him over the edge. I love Cindy she is the one who truly brought the war back to the headlines. We need to keep it up we need answers and Cindy needs answers. GO CINDY!!

[lebkuchen]

5. Cindy has been able to haunt Bush's psyche

She is the bug in his ear reminding him of the failure he's been his entire life.

[LisaM]

2. And I suppose he'll complain it's ruining his vacation

Never mind that Cindy's Thanksgivings will be ruined forever.

Heck, I may set a place for Casey Sheehan at my Thanksgiving table (he can represent all of those we've lost.)

Let's all do that.

3. Bush* can run but he can't hide from the grieving mother of a dead soldier

She has shown us how powerful non-violent protest can be.

4. Kudos to Cindy....

and to everyone who joins her in person or in spirit....Keep the pressure on the chimp. No retreat, No surrender.

[twaddler01]

6. Keep it up

Drive the Bush Con's outta their mind!

[Lisa]

7. I had a sudden vision of Cindy showing up on his doorstep at Thanksgiving

... offering a dish of candied yams. The expression on Bush's face would be worth it!

8. Calling Fred Mattlage...come in, Fred...

He provided the property for the big Camp Casey tent so they could protest Nero legally and without much harassment.

9. WOO HOO! I was hoping she would be there!

:woohoo: GO CINDY!!!

I was wondering about this very thing this morning when I read that * plans to spend some time in Crawford during the holiday season.

* doesn't deserve "Happy Holidays" given how he's needlessly taken them away from so many families. :grr:

10. UPDATE

Just got an email from Cindy and she is in DC.She is going to court tomorrow and plead not guilty to the ticket she was given when she was arrested outside the white house.
She is then going back to Ca to get ready to spend thanksgiving outside the crawford ranch and she is prepared to be arrested again if thats the way it comes down.YOU GO GIRL.WISH I could be there with you!!!

11. Watch for the broadcast media make Bush** look like a victim. If she

uses the theme that points to nearly 2100 families with an empty chair, then she can avoid the rpigs making Bush** the victim on the holiday.

12. Peacemom strikes again!

eom

[uppityperson]

13. The weather will be better.

good.

[Catchawave]

15. As always...

will be with you in spirit Cindy. :patriot:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

24. Hey, thanks for promoting David!

That's my cousin (but everyone here knows that; I'm just really proud of him).

[Catchawave]

27. My pleasure!

He's really great and I'm going to do everything I can to help him get rid of Thelma (Lips firmly planted on Delay's ass) Drake!

We're facing a primary too, but he should do well in that :hi:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

28. Thanks for what you're doing.

That's funny what you wrote: "Thelma (lips firmly planted on Delay's ass)." LOL!

[Tom Joad]

16. God i wish bush would heed her advice. I wish also Dems would do the same

Cindy does not call for troop withdrawal only when the United States successfully establishes "stability" in Iraq, because she knows all too well that the United States is the main cause of instability in Iraq.

Listen you Democratic Reps and Senators. This is a winning strategy. This is a moral strategy.
Call for the troops out now! No more lame plans to get us out in a few years. Home for the holidays!

[sandnsea]

21. Well yes, she kind of does

"When we say now, we don't mean that they can all come home tomorrow. I hope everybody knows that. We have to start by withdrawing our troops from the cities, bringing them to the borders and getting them out. We have to replace our military with something that looks Arabic, something that looks Iraqi, to rebuild their country."

This was on Sept 29.

17. She's "god sent"

Go Cindy!

[wicket]

18. I hope she keeps givin' 'em hell!!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[MADem]

19. She needs to do a little something with plastic turkeys....

Plastic turkeys on pikes? Plastic turkeys in flight suits? Plastic turkeys with BRING 'EM ON emblazoned on their crispy meaty carcasses?

Thanksgiving....gotta have some plastic turkeys for the plastic turkey!!

[Mr_Spock]

20. I like the "plastic turkey's" theme!

It has a special meaning for so many of us :D

[twaddler01]

22. I second

Excellent idea! :thumbsup:

[meganmonkey]

23. Keep it up Cindy!

I think her trial for the Sept 26th arrests at the WH is tomorrow. Mine is.

I admire her so much.

:patriot:

[Voltaire99]

25. A brave one-woman replacement for the Democratic Party.

Pay attention, Hillary, Kerry, Edwards, et al: Sheehan is a real leader.

And like her, I will not be voting for anyone who supported this war. Out with the lot of you.

26. 'Peace Mom' Plans to Resume War Protest

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - The fallen soldier's mother who drew thousands to her 26-day war protest near President Bush's ranch this summer plans to return for Thanksgiving next week, despite new county ordinances banning roadside camping.

Cindy Sheehan and at least a dozen supporters are prepared to be arrested as they return to the makeshift campsite along the road leading to Bush's ranch, where he is expected to spend the holiday.

"It is critical for our democracy that we continue to ask the same questions that Cindy Sheehan asked this summer: What is the noble cause for the war with Iraq, and at what point do we say enough bloodshed has happened?" said Hadi Jawad, co-founder of the Crawford Peace House.
