I think refocusing is a good thing. How about you?

Peace mom refocusing vigil near Bush ranch

CRAWFORD, Texas - Bothered by what she laments as mounting "distractions," Cindy Sheehan sought Monday to refocus her peace vigil near President Bush's ranch on her central anti-war message.
Since she "came out here and sat down on a lawn chair" 10 days ago, Sheehan said, her vigil "got out of hand and just turned into a media circus."

For instance, she cited calls for the president's impeachment as "another distraction off of our original cause."

Sunday, she faced reports that she was not paying her federal income taxes. "They killed my son in an illegal and immoral war," she told a reporter who asked, "and I don't feel like I owe them anything."

....

"I don't want to be distracted," she said. "Our message is to bring the troops home."
