A group of anti-war protesters returned to a roadside near President Bush's Central Texas ranch this morning. About two dozen protesters were lined up along the road by 9:00 AM. A large contingent of McLennan County Sheriff's deputies arrived a short time later to control the scene.
The president flew home to Texas and arrived last night at his Crawford ranch -- where he's expected to spend Thanksgiving.
Officials with the Crawford Peace House say antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan has a family emergency but should join the group Friday -- the day after Thanksgiving.
In August, Sheehan led a 26-day protest near the ranch. McLennan County commissioners in September imposed restrictions banning roadside parking within a seven-mile radius of Bush's ranch and prohibiting camping in any county ditch.
