Group looking to buy Cindy Sheehans property in Crawford being denied
Updated: Jun 1, 2007 6:46pm
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is giving the cold shoulder to a group that wants to buy her property near President Bush's Crawford ranch.
Sheehan announced this week she was selling the land, and would consider any reasonable offers.
The land, known as Camp Casey, which was named after Sheehans son who died in Iraq, will reportedly go up for auction on E-bay with a starting bid of $80,000.
A group called "Move America Forward" announced Friday it wants to buy the land and said itll do whatever it takes to get it.
However, Sheehans sister, Dede Miller said, "It'll be a cold day in hell," before it's sold to the organization.
Residents in Crawford said they're thrilled to see Sheehan go.
"She just causes havoc. She does nothing but cause trouble in this town, and we don't need that for our little-bitty city," Crawford resident Daryl Abbe said.
The bids will start at $27,000 more than the $52,000 Sheehan originally paid for it.
Yes, there are anti-discriminatory laws up the wasu. But if the discrepancy is over dollars no discrimination.
True. But I don’t think they can discriminate against political views.

Agree. And I thank you for getting us back on thread. My argument was with those that have chosen to turn this into a debate about real estate laws.
I’d like to buy it and set up a labor day camp there. Buy some U-Haul trucks and so forth.
Even if the asking price is agreed to, the owner can change their mind as there is no contract.
Let’s Buy it and call it Eagle’s Nest. I say if 300 of us pitched 100 dollars we could buy it cheap
I might be willing to look at it at about $5,000.00.
The whole thing looks like a political prostitute last stand. She might move on to the next political pimp called: Chavez.
Call it Camp Freep. LOL
If Melanie Morgan’s group buys that land, I may find a reason to go visit Texas. In the late Autumn, though.
Someone can offer her the listed price and she doesn’t have to sell it to them. There would be no contract yet, merely an offer. If it were listed with a broker, however, she would likely be sued for the commission if the offer was full price and terms.
I like it...great mind there!
That is exactly how Sheehan bought it, through a proxy buyer, to hide her intent from the original owner and townspeople.
Based on your political ideology?
Imagine the liberals who would be homeless for lack of available real estate
Well? they need to do whatever they can, through whatever legerdemain they can perform, to make sure they get that land.
Tell her theyre gonna raise pigs there..she’d go for that.
I am referring to an absolute auction. I should have so stated so don't get into a liberal wad.
Mayhap you should have stated all the facts up front, would have cut down on my rhetoric considerably. As for getting into a liberal wad, Ive never been into liberal anything let alone a wad (?) thank you.
