Sheehan's daughter visits war protesters in Crawford
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 06:13 PM by JI7
<CRAWFORD, Texas -- War protests near President Bush's Crawford ranch received a reinforcement on Sunday. She's Cindy Sheehan's oldest daughter Carly.

Carly Sheehan, a 25-year-old student at the University of California at Davis, read a poem she wrote after her older brother Casey was killed in Iraq two years ago.

She read to a crowd of 300 people who gathered under a tent on a private one-acre lot.

Cindy Sheehan first protested near Bush's ranch last August, attracting thousands of supporters. She returned for a vigil the week of Thanksgiving.

Bush was at the ranch both times, but he was not in Crawford this week. Instead he chose to spend Easter at Camp David.>

My hat is off to Cindy Sheehan and her supporters.

But shouldn't there be a whole lot MORE?

Where are they?

(sigh)

4. There are enough supporters there to

keep the Chimp from coming to Texas.

Cindy is sending a powerful message ~ she is keeping him out of his own "Ranch."

Wow!! I'm so glad she has another child still living. And she's smart. She looks just like her mama. This is the fist time I heard anything about her.

12. Since Cindy and Pat Sheehan are their kids parents
how could they possibly be just his kids???And it wasnt that he didnt support them ,their heartbreak when their son Casey was killed was just more than they could handle.They are going on with their lives seperatly but they always support their kids and each other if they need it.
