CRAWFORD, Texas - War protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch prepared Monday for a three-week bus tour to spread their anti-war message to people and lawmakers in 25 states.
Three buses were to depart Wednesday from the makeshift camp started by Cindy Sheehan along the main road leading to Bush's ranch, protesters said. Sheehan arrived Aug. 6, soon after his Texas vacation began, and vowed to stay until month's end unless he talked to her about the war that claimed her 24-year-old son Casey's life.
Since then, several thousand people have visited "Camp Casey" for a few hours, days or weeks.
"We had no idea the ditch in Crawford had such phenomenal acoustics," said Nancy Lessin, co-founder of Military Families Speak Out, one of four organizations sponsoring the Bring Them Home Now Tour.
"There's a momentum building across the country ... and we intend for every member of Congress to hear our messages from Camp Casey loud and clear," she said.
The tour will end with the three buses meeting in Washington, D.C., for a Sept. 24 anti-war march organized by United for Peace and Justice and the ANSWER Coalition.
FreeRepublic.com and other conservative groups are planning counter events in the nation's capital that weekend, said Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the group's Washington, D.C., chapter. FreeRepublic.com was part of a large pro-Bush rally in Crawford on Saturday.
Taylor said many Bush supporters want to make sure their voice also is heard, "especially military families who have been serving silently with their relatives. They realize it's important for them to speak out now."
Pro-Bush rallies also are expected in cities along the bus tour, which will follow northern, central and southern routes. In some cases, protesters may walk into the offices of a Congress member, Lessin said.

Hope they are mooned by pro-America Americans all along their trip to DC.

Seems like a lot of red-state real estate between thither and yon....
Some EXxxxcellent FReeping opportunities... methinks....

Here is another interesting transcript of a conversation Ms. Sheehan had recently... (emphasis is mine)
"Mrs. Sheehan says there are a number of political groups who have come to support her, but she says she is not their tool and throws the same charge back at her detractors. "It is my message and my vision and I want to say the same thing to them. They are being funded by the GOP (Republican party) and one of their main strategists is a good friend of Karl Rove, so they are tools of the right, just as I am a tool of the left, and I am not," she said." ????????????
You just can't make this stuff up.
Awesome, but the AP must be losing it. They called Free Republic "conservative" not their usual "right-wing" or "far-right" BS. Maybe the reporter could actually be a sane person and not a lieberal mush-head.
I'm just waiting for her to start ranting and raving about how "Bush's hurricane" is stealing all of her face time. Speaking of that, has she even acknowledged what happened with the storm?
Not to worry ... that reporter is probably being admonished as we speak .......
"Does anyone know if the Sheeh'ites have posted their route & itinerary??" .... Yes

In GA we are planning to FReep the 'peace train' when it comes through on its way to DC.
Does this act come with a warning?
"Caution, this woman is a professional. Do not try this at home"
This nitwit Sheehan was seen on TV yesterday giving a rally speech to her lefty supporters. Seems she truly is a Narcissist. She tells them when they read the history books years from now about Camp Casey they can tell their children that they actually met Casey's Mom.
Two months from now CS will be no more historic than a name on a bathroom wall.
Actually according to a WashPo/ABC poll. Media Whore/Cindy and her elite billionaire backers have had zero impact on Americans re getting out of Iraq.

CONGRATULATIONS FREEPERS! Sheehan, Media Failed to Win Battle of Crawford (WaPo-ABC Poll)

Cindy Sheehan and her supporters in the mainstream media failed in their efforts to radicalize the American people against the war in Iraq, according to a poll by The Washington Post and ABC News to be released later today at 5 p.m. EDT.
The telephone survey of 1006 adults conducted August 25-28 showed no movement in either direction for opposition or support to the war. Eighty percent said Sheehan's three-week long protest outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas while he was on a working vacation there had no effect on their position on the war. Ten percent said her protest made them more likely to support the war in Iraq, while an equal number said her protest would make them less likely to support the war.
Mrs. Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq last year, arrived in Crawford on August 6 demanding a meeting with the president. Aided by anti-American groups that have expressed support for the so-called Iraqi resistance, including Code Pink and Veterans for Peace, Mrs. Sheehan was able to dominate the news for the month of August with the help of a sympathetic national media which failed to report the most basic facts about her and her supporters.
Thanks to the research of Freepers, the American people were able to learn about Mrs. Sheehan's extremist politics and her disengenuousness.
Freepers were first to report that Mrs. Sheehan had previously met with the president and that she was telling a wildly different story of that meeting from her initial account told to her local newspaper right after the meeting.
Freepers also discovered photos of that meeting that showed Mrs. Sheehan holding the president's hand and leaning in to receive a kiss on the cheek from him.
Freepers researched and reported Mrs. Sheehan's extremist statements about Israel and her pronouncements that she was refusing to pay her taxes in protest against her son's death.
Freepers found her comments supporting convicted abettor of terrorism, Lynne Stewart and also reported that the groups involved with Mrs. Sheehan in Crawford had explicitly sided with the so-called Iraqi resistance through their endorsement of the World Tribunal on Iraq.
Freeper research also unearthed a video of Mrs. Sheehan calling terrorists who crossed the border in to Iraq to join Al Qaeda "freedom fighters" in an interview with CBS News' Mark Knoller on her first day in Crawford--which CBS and the other media at her press conference failed to report.
That video now serves as exhibit one for how the mainstream media covered up for Mrs. Sheehan from day one in order to prop her up as the latest tool of their campaign to destroy the presidency of George W. Bush.
Thanks to the efforts of Freepers, Mrs. Sheehan and her allies in the media and on the left failed to instigate the prairie fire of rebellion against the war in Iraq they thought would surely follow.
While they will blame Karl Rove and the White House for Mrs. Sheehan's failure, we know it was the patriotic Americans at FreeRepublic.com who fought the good fight in the arena of ideas.
