CRAWFORD, Texas - Anti-war demonstrators said Sunday they hope the end of President Bush's ranch vacation doesn't hurt attendance at their protest during the rest of the summer. They urged opponents of the war in Iraq to come to the five-acre campsite purchased last month by Cindy Sheehan, who resumed her protest a week ago. Sheehan's first trek to Crawford one year ago during Bush's monthlong vacation turned into a 26-day vigil that drew more than 10,000 people and spurred counter-protests by Bush supporters. A few hundred war opponents returned at Thanksgiving, when Bush was at his ranch, and again...

Friends, Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended -- and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war. Nearly every Democrat set to run for president in 2008 is responsible for this war. They voted for it or they supported it. That...

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Sheehan buys plot in Crawford with son's insurance moneyBy JACK DOUGLAS JR.Thu, Jul. 27, 2006 CRAWFORD -- As President Bush prepares to spend some vacation time at his ranch here, not all is peaceful within the peace movement that has doggedly criticized his war policies for the past year.The Gold Star Families for Peace says on its Web site that its members will again flock to Crawford in August to protest Bush's wartime decisions. Leader Cindy Sheehan is again demanding to meet with the president -- a replay of a year ago -- garnering worldwide...

Grave Concern 'Peace Mom' defends tombstone choice Monday, April 24 By Julie Kay/Staff Writer After months of remaining silent on the issue, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan lashed out this week at critics who charge that her son's grave lacks a proper marker. In her blog on Monday, Sheehan, formerly of Vacaville, defended not placing a tombstone on the grave of her son Casey, who was killed in Iraq two years ago. "I am so tired of the Rovian, heartless, and ignorant smear machine attacking me and my family at every turn of my back," wrote Sheehan referring to President's Bush's...

Accounts of this weekend's activities in Crawford that were (or not) reported in the MSM force me to provide a SITREP of what happened. Some events I witnessed and some were reported to me by very reliable sources. First, that champion of the downtrodden, Cindy Sheehan, arrived to a rock-star reception in Waco. She then was whisked to the Crawford "Peace" House via limosine. Who is paying for her travel? In a story, entitled "Sheehan's daughter visits Crawford war protest camp," by Angela K. Brown, (Associated Press}, it was reported that some of (President) Bush's supporters, this Saturday in Crawford,...

Since I saluted her last summer when she took a stand in Crawford, Texas, it seems only fair that I make another public gesture now that Cindy Sheehan has removed one of her "Camp Casey" hiking shoes and stuck her foot firmly in her mouth. That gesture is to raise a hand and cover up my wincing eyes. It's not the first time this celebrated and denigrated mother of a fallen soldier has spouted off a bit incautiously. But I cut her a break before. After all, her beloved son Casey died in Iraq while mine is alive and kicking....

Cindy Sheehan Arrested Moments Before Bush State of the Union Speech C. L. Cook PEJ News January 31, 2006 Enduring the last hour of CNN's political "coverage" of George W. Bush's State of the Union, indistinguishable in style and substance, than the tedious preamble certain to precede next week's Super Bowl XL (Go Seahawks!), a momentary blimp in the pallid farce passing as analysis for the media corpse these sad days: "Cindy Sheehan has been arrested!" It took Wolf, Jeff, Paula, and that King guy only a heartbeat to frame the issue: "I think some Democrats are going to be...

Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela — Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who just announced that she is weighing a run for Senate, plans to protest again outside President Bush's Texas ranch, Venezuela's president said today with Sheehan by his side. Hugo Chavez, his arm around Sheehan's shoulders, told a group of activists that Sheehan had told him that during Holy Week, in April, "she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger's ranch." "She invited me to put up a tent. Maybe I'll put up my tent also," Chavez said, to applause from activists invited to...

(CNSNews.com) - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) seat unless Feinstein filibusters Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.

One of the country’s most famous anti-war activists is now one of Berkeley’s newest residents. Cindy Sheehan, who gained the world’s attention with her protest outside President George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, has moved into a Berkeley apartment following her separation from her husband. “I needed a place to stay, and some friends got me an apartment,” she said. Not that Berkeley will see much of the mother who lost her son Casey in the Iraq war in April 2004. “I spend most of my time traveling, and I’m home maybe seven to 10 days a month,” she...

Vacaville mother and anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan plans to go to the State Capitol today to ask Gov. Schwarzenegger to pull California's National Guard troops out of Iraq. So far, the governor's office has not agreed to meet with Sheehan. Sheehan has toured the nation protesting the war since her son, Casey, died in Iraq last year. In August, she camped outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, hoping to meet with him to confront him about the war. Sheehan wants to deliver a letter to the governor. The letter reads, in part: "California is suffering each day as its...
