It links over to Newsday so here is an excerpt:
CRAWFORD, Texas For more than a year, a modest bungalow known as "Peace House," located a few miles from President Bush's ranch, has served as a headquarters for antiwar activists. It is lonely work, with little more than a skeleton crew on hand much of the time.
But then Cindy Sheehan hit town.
The 48-year-old mother of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in an ambush in Baghdad last year, is consumed by the kind of grief that turns into a furious determination to do something in her case, to confront the president and force him to explain why her son died.
Now, in the space of just a few days, what started out as a seemingly quixotic personal mission has become something of a phenomenon with media swarming around Sheehan, leading liberal and antiwar activists parachuting in to try to make her their long-sought voice, and political experts in both parties working to assess what role she may have in galvanizing the public's gathering unhappiness with the increasing American casualties in Iraq.
Antiwar leaders hope that putting the spotlight on Sheehan will motivate Americans who oppose the war, creating a political force strong enough to compel the Bush administration to change course.

Get lost troll.
So Bush hasn't EVEN ATTEMPTED to capture Bin Laden? Where have you been for the past 4 years? Oh yea, not here...newbie.
This isn't about disagreements regarding policy. This is about ACTIVELY supporting the enemy. Nothing else. The founding fathers found it disgraceful in Tories, and I find it disgraceful in Sheehan.
Doubts about what? It was read on the air this morning.
I've seen at least four new signups today........they really are in a fevered pitch for some reason!
Thanks for sharing as I doubt if I'll see anything like this on the evening news. No balance there, just a continual Bush-bashing fest.
Yes, I did notice that as well. I guess I assume the people who received the letter know who they are dealing with and have spoken to them/verified identities. Hope this is the case.

" I am a Republican, and proudly so. But..."
Heard it before troll.
Get lost.
Get lost troll.
We heard them on 9/11.
In my mind, Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11,
Too bad you're a newbie troll and haven'tread FR more often than DU.
Why don't you jump of a cliff.
You're right. You will be ripped good here for your views. I suggest you go back to the tree you were hugging. Saying you are a Republican does not carry weight as there are many Libertatians and Independents on this website. It does not offer you immunity from being put in your place.

Hey taken, told you I'd heard trolls say the above before.
And look, here's one now repeating it!
What's the point to being such an obvious troll?
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH, IT'S BUSH'S FAULT, ETC.
Why is it that so many trolls/seminar posters start out with a "For the record, I am a Republican..."
You signed up today to post this crap???
"Exactly what I expected."
Then why did you even bother coming here from DU?
Please show us where anyone has DEMANDED anything from you, especially President Bush. I don't recall anyone being forced into the armed services. YOU certainly wouldn't be serving your country, unlike most REAL members here at FR.
Good riddance to you DUmmie.
