WASHINGTON - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan pledged Wednesday to "force change to happen" during protest speeches outside the White House and Capitol.

Sheehan arrived in Washington after a three-week cross-country bus tour that began near President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. She is expected to participate in an anti-Iraq war rally Saturday that organizers hope could draw tens of thousands of people.

Gold Star Families for Peace, which was co-founded by Sheehan, planned to begin airing television ads that would run on CNN in Washington and the Fox News Channel nationwide for several weeks, beginning Thursday.

The group Win Without War purchased ads for Thursday's editions of 14 newspapers, including The Washington Post, The Denver Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer and USA Today.

1. Cindy was here in NYC on Monday

the organizer of the event in downtown NYC was later arrested for not
having the proper permit for the bullhorn he used.It was a shameless
move by our Gestapo NYPD working under orders from mayor bloomberg.I
support Cindy and the Gold Star Families.her voice echo's loudly
now that Katrina has uncovered the flaws in America.Now Rita,I feel
bad for those Democratic citizens of Texas and I hope the,"Lazy W Ranch"is blown into Michigan.....

2. Sheehan: a one-woman replacement for the Democratic Party

Brave, wise, selfless woman. Amazing woman.

Democratic politicians, pay attention. This is representation far more valuable than your groveling accomodation of Bushism. Get up off your knees!
