Iraq war protestor says to shift focus to Congress

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan, whose vigil near President George W. Bush's Texas ranch has become a symbol for the anti-war movement, said on Friday she plans to focus on Congress, starting with Bush close ally and fellow Texan House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Sheehan has been demanding a meeting with Bush to discuss the U.S. presence in Iraq, where her son was killed in 2004, and next Thursday plans to begin a bus tour from Bush's ranch to the White House to campaign for withdrawal of U.S. troops.

One of DeLay's Texas district offices would likely be the first stop, she said. That would be about a 5.5 hour drive from Bush's ranch in Crawford, where he is on a month-long vacation.

"I think our first stop might be Tom DeLay's office," she said, surrounded by supporters. "I just wanted to let him know so he'll be in his office when we get there."
"The president is not going to meet with us, probably," Sheehan said. "We the people need to influence our congressional representatives and I hear he's pretty close by," referring to DeLay.

5. That's like 5 miles from my house!

Bring the gang over & stop for a soak in the pool, tent in the yard, park the bus (?) in the culdesac & it's KUMBAYA time! (fire pit included).


YAY! Can't go back to Crawford this weekend but y'all might come here! WELCOME!

7. DeLay isn't in prison yet?
Did he suck off all the prosecutors in Texas or what?

9. That's pretty smart of her.
They would never let her or the protesters anywhere near the White House. She accomplished her mission in Crawford showing Bush to be the chickenhawk that he is.

However, going to the offices of congressional reps, they could get close enough to be effective. When she's done there she can come here and protest my congressman, Bill Thomas. I will then be able to join them then. Bill Thomas is Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and has been blocking bills from getting on the floor that Democrats have been trying to put up for debate. He's pushing the pro-war bills through. He needs to be made honest.
