 Peace activist Cindy Sheehan is returning to Crawford, TX for her second summer in hopes of meeting with President Bush - and this time she's staying. Sheehan recently purchased five acres near the presidential ranch with insurance money she received after her oldest son, Casey, died fighting in Iraq in 2004.

Cindy also says she will march towards the President's ranch to the roadblocks manned by the Secret Service. She believes during the next few weeks, other protesters will join the other fifty already camped out in the soaring temperatures. "We needed to either rent a bigger property or buy something," explains Sheehan, "and we were having trouble finding something to rent. So, I decided to buy something. And when we don't need Camp Casey anymore, when the troops are home, and after we use it as a peace camp, I'm going to donate the property to the town of Crawford to use as a park." |
