Mr President, there's someone waiting, and waiting, to see you

"Crawford, Texas: The US President draws anti-war protesters just about wherever he goes, but few generate the kind of attention that Cindy Sheehan has since she drove down the winding road towards George Bush's ranch last weekend to try and tell him face to face to pull all US troops out of Iraq.

Mrs Sheehan's son, Casey, was killed last year in Iraq, after which she became an antiwar activist. She says she and her family met Mr Bush two months later in Washington state."

3. Plenty of international coverage out there.

From yesterday:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4293411

I just did a search on news.google.com using "cindy sheehan" as the search term and found 767 stories. Some of them are wingnut blogs, but the story is being told around the world.

2. I am Glad it is getting around also

one thing gets to me. With the web, papers need to say where they come from. Some times it is a real hunt.
