Protest by Bush Ranch Readies to Hit Road

[Rose Siding]

CRAWFORD, Texas -- War protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch prepared Monday for a three-week bus tour to spread their anti-war message to people and lawmakers in 25 states.

Three buses were to depart Wednesday from the makeshift camp started by Cindy Sheehan along the main road leading to Bush's ranch, protesters said. Sheehan arrived Aug. 6, soon after his Texas vacation began, and vowed to stay until month's end unless he talked to her about the war that claimed her 24-year-old son Casey's life.
...
Sheehan will be on the southern route, with its first stop in Austin for a Wednesday afternoon rally. Its next event will be Friday in Houston, the district of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Sheehan will leave the tour after that for other events, but other relatives of fallen U.S. troops and families of soldiers still serving in Iraq will be on each bus.

3. A permanent Camp Casey

A semi-permanent Camp Casey should be setup outside of the Bush house until the troops come home.

A monument should be setup to remind everyone of the cost of the conflict.

Every time Bush goes home he could receive a warm yellow ribbon reception.

It would not be difficult to raise the funds for this.
