From Moonbat Media:
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's significant that we do not let up on this administration," said Hadi Jawad, co-founder of the Crawford Peace House, which supported the protesters during their August vigil. "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?"
Bush has defended the decision to go into Iraq in 2003, citing the threat posed by its deposed president, Saddam Hussein. Bush also has said troops need to remain in Iraq as long as necessary.
Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey was killed last year in Iraq, was not arrested during the vigil that coincided with Bush's working vacation at his ranch just outside Crawford, a one-stoplight town of 700 people about 20 miles west of Waco.
But dozens of residents complained of noise and traffic congestion as the protesters pitched tents in shallow ditches about 2 1/2 miles away from the ranch. Some traffic was from counterprotests of hundreds of Bush supporters who said Sheehan's group was hurting troop morale.
A month later, McLennan County commissioners approved ordinances that prohibit parking on parts of 14 roads near the ranch -- roughly a 5-mile radius -- and prohibit camping in any county ditch. The laws also ban portable toilets in ditches.
Parking ban violators face up to a $50 fine for the first offense, a $200 fine for the second offense and a $500 fine and/or 60 days in the county jail for subsequent offenses. Those who violate the camping ordinance could be charged with littering or criminal trespassing.
Sheehan's group also plans to hold activities next week -- including a Thanksgiving meal of Iraqi food -- on the same 1-acre lot that a sympathetic landowner let protesters use this summer as a second camp. The group plans an anti-war rally in a downtown Crawford park the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Since leaving Crawford in late August, Sheehan, of Vacaville, Calif., has traveled across the country spreading her anti-war message.
Texas chapter PING!

I think I could mistake Cindy for an eight-pointer.
Wrong... you and Cindy are very INsignificant... your 15 minutes are up. Go celebrate Thanksgiving where you're supposed to... at HOME.

(Although, I suppose her considerable amount of wattles would start vibrating in anticipation of such an event).
Happy Thanksfibbing, Cindy.
