Days after Cindy Sheehan announced she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, a pro-troop organization said Friday it plans to buy her protest site outside President Bush's ranch.
But Sheehan doesn't want to sell to just anyone.
"It'll be a cold day in hell before she sells it to them," her sister, Dede Miller, told The Associated Press. "She'll sell it to them for $5 million."
Move America Forward wants to place a monument to the troops on the 5-acre site in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth.
"There's definitely symbolism behind being able to take that land and being able to put up a monument that supports our troops," said Robert Dixon, executive director of the Sacramento, Calif.-based group. "It's purely symbolic. We're not going to be holding any rallies there."
Sheehan, who was unavailable for comment, plans to sell the land on eBay as early as next week with a starting bid of $80,000, Miller said. Since buying the property last year for $52,500, Sheehan's group has made many improvements, including putting in gravel roads, clearing brush and planting gardens, Miller said.
Dixon said that after Sheehan's announcement Monday, he was flooded with e-mails from Move America Forward members who thought the group should buy the land. The nonprofit organization had planned to erect a monument to honor U.S. troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, possibly in Crawford, so "we figured this is the perfect thing to do," he said.
Dixon said the group is "pretty much prepared to do what we have to do" to get the land but has a price limit, which he declined to disclose. The group retained a California real estate agent to start working on the deal and will start raising money, he said.

And she says she wants to be normal so's she's selling the land?
Normal and Sheehan just aren't going to co-exist. One always wipes out the other.
I wish the US Gov. would use eminant Domain and sieze it for Presidential security boundry areas.
Hey, over here! Sheehan thinks the value of her land has increased considerably. Delusional to the bitter end.
Nope. Unless she puts a reserve on it and that reserve is not met, she has to hand it over to the highest bidder. If she doesn’t, she still has to pay ebay fees which is a percentage of the sale. In real estate that can be pretty costly.
If there are defaults attached they will be paid at the time of the sale and Cindy Sheehan will be forced to pay them before she gets the rest of them money.
Price gouging!
Frankly, I am very surprised that Melanie Morgan would play into this little scam to drive the bidding up. Why not wait until it is auctioned off for back taxes and get it for a song? Remember the “Evening with Cindy Sheehan” auction on ebay? The bidding only got up to $1500 and stalled. Then she pulled the auction because of “right wing shenanigans”.
IIRC, her so called uterus is purported to be buried at Peace House. Another superfund sight after years of usful idiot occupation. The only thing that is going to be left on the 5 acres (that wasn’t there to begin with) will be trash and poop, hippy loser poop.
Wonder what happened to the $10,000 bio fuel generator that Willie was going to supply? And the treehouse she was crowing about?
Come to think of it........what happened to the movie that was supposed to star Susan Sarandork?
