| Sheehan Sues Over Bush Ranch Parking Bans |
| 2006-07-04 |
| Cindy Sheehan and four other war protesters filed a lawsuit Friday challenging roadside camping and parking bans near President Bush's Crawford ranch. Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., was in Waco to file the case, which asks that the ordinances not be enforced during protests in August and ultimately be declared void. The suit, filed in state district court, was filed against McLennan County, the sheriff and county commissioners. Sheehan, whose oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil - dubbed "Camp Casey" - that started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up "Camp Casey II" on a private, one-acre lot closer to the ranch. Neighbors complained of traffic congestion from the August rally and commissioners enacted the parking ban on parts of 14 roads near the ranch and prohibited camping in any county ditch. |

| #8 You've got to be kidding me. Maybe it's time that we hold a vigil in her neck of the woods, protesting her stupid waste of court time and the like. She's not even worth it. This is Jan |

| #2 She has no midwestern brains.. Here is how to do it. Put up posters for a 32 Keg barbacue (beef and pulled pork) open for a cover and pass the hat when the beer runs low. Hire the sherif's designated brother to run security and the staff he requires. Let Longneck or Bud distributors in on it and a local radio station or two. Have a booth for your protest. END OF STORY. You have your parking, your protest the communities beer and ribs. Every buddy is full, drunk and happy. Win Win. No lawyers no fuss. (execpt the DUI's) |

| #1 the ditch witch whines about laws enforced for public safety? I'd think the Waco/Crawford locals would take a dim view of this mobile trash cluttering up their community |
