CRAWFORD, Texas - War protester Cindy Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford with some of the insurance money she received after her son was killed in Iraq.

The group she helps lead, Gold Star Families for Peace, says on its Web site that it will return next month to protest the war in Iraq in the small town near Waco where President Bush has a ranch. Like last year, Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, will again demand to meet with the president.

"We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George's resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world," Sheehan said in a newsletter set to be sent to supporters Thursday. "I can't think of a better way to use Casey's insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves."

Her anti-war gathering in Crawford is scheduled for Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. But Bush is scheduled to be at his ranch mainly during the first two weeks of August.

Sheehan, from California, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil, which started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up its protests on a private, 1-acre lot closer to the ranch.

Will Bush have a "welcome to the neighborhood" barbecue for Ms. Sheehan?

I couldn't help but fall over laughing when I read this.

More power to the woman. I love the "until his resignation or impeachment" comment.

This brightened up my night.

Fascinating.

Any bets on if the town of crawford tries to restrict any of her free speach rights on her own property? Perhaps via disturbing the peace ordinance or other similar forms of harrassment?

In one of the largest states in America, Bush has a ranch next to psychoville where those crazy cults used to hang out.

Oh man I can't wait to start hearing about that. Cindy is going to have entirely too much "fun" with this - as much "fun" as someone can have over the death of their son and 1000s of other people. I'm glad she did this.

You can bet state Republicans will trying everything they can to pass laws that will some how restrict Ms. Sheehan.

You mean the Branch Davidians?

NO BIG SURPRISE!!

Boring.

yes you are.

lol, maybe Laura Bush can lead the welcome wagon, take her some muffins and stuff

It might be more amusing if Cindy tries to take Laura some "Hi I'm your new neighbor" muffins. Haha...

Hehehe.

She could also say, "Hello Mr. President I'm your new neighbor. Here's some muffins I baked for you and Laura. Oh by the way, how about you step down as president?"

impeach my bush

Can't be done. Republicans love your bush too much.

Lucky you!!

Hahaha. Go Ms. Sheehan!

Isnt it the son's fault he's dead? I mean he signed up, duh.

See... what Cindy is doing *isn't* based off of the fact that he died. They all knew what he was getting himself when he signed up. What she's doing is trying to bring the rest of the troops home from this staged war that's strictly based off of oil. Her whole point is that this war is part of Bush's personal agenda and A LOT of people are dying for no *good* reason.

Oh ok well I agree with all that^
