Cindy's ad ran on the Waco CBS affililiate KWTX-
but not on KCEN so far- that's the NBC affiliate. KCEN did do a piece on it but they "balanced" it with a proBush rally story.

Cindy Sheehan is attracting national media attention and sparking a national debate as she camps out on a Central Texas roadside, demanding to talk to President Bush about her son’s death.

Casey Sheehan, 24, was a 1st Cavalry Division soldier who died in an attack last year in Baghdad.

In the ad, Sheehan remembers her son as a "good and honest" man then asks why Bush can't "be honest" about the war in Iraq.

1. great ad
simple, direct, no music, not "over-produced", just Cindy Sheehan speaking directly to the camera in one single shot. Very powerful.

3. Great ad!!
I, too, wish they could run it nationally.

Maybe soon they will.

I went to the station web site and watched the video from inside the president's motorcade. Interesting view....

4. Amazing ad. Text alone does not convey its meaning. I urge everyone to
listen to it. :)
