Cindy Sheehan Buys Property in Crawford Jul 27 1:33 PM US/Eastern
CRAWFORD, Texas
War protester Cindy Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford with some of the insurance money she received after her son was killed in Iraq.
The group she helps lead, Gold Star Families for Peace, says on its Web site that it will return next month to protest the war in Iraq in the small town near Waco where President Bush has a ranch. Like last year, Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, will again demand to meet with the president.
"We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George's resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world," Sheehan said in a newsletter set to be sent to supporters Thursday. "I can't think of a better way to use Casey's insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves."
Her anti-war gathering in Crawford is scheduled for Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. But Bush is scheduled to be at his ranch mainly during the first two weeks of August.
Sheehan, from California, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil, which started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up its protests on a private, 1-acre lot closer to the ranch.
Does the word S-T-A-L-K-I-N-G mean anything to this crazy
B$#@????
That's okay. Bush will be out of office in a few years and she'll be stuck with the property. What a buffoon...
Oh yeah? Then why did he re-enlist? I'm sure he'd prefer the money be used to help the families of the fallen.
What are the libs/dems going to do when Bush is out of office? So much wasted hate.
Cindy should get a life.
Ha! She spent that money as soon as she got it. Back taxes, penalties and a house.
Time to start planting thorny bushes 20 feet high around their new property.
Has she bought Casey a headstone yet?
I think she spent the last of the money on the property. First things first, you know.
I wonder who put her up to this? It's obvious she doesn't have the brain of a knat.
Probably the same knuckleheads who have been using her all along.
There goes the neighborhood.
But it took her two years.
I'll bet she got the money from her friends Soro's and Moore..I can tell you property in Crawford isn't cheep and it would take a lot of insurance money to buy five acres..I live about thirteen miles from Crawford My property five acres in the country was not cheep and that was about 1992 when we bought this..
You can find everything with Algore's invention and in seconds.
Is there a Jamba Juice nearby?
Some possibilites for Sheehag's property: (1) A new mosque, (2) Al Qu'aida training facility, (3) George Soros University.
This is about the ONLY instance I can imagine where a government taking of private property by eminent domain might not be a bad thing.
