What is all that shouting outside the White House?
I've heard it now on both CNN and MSNBC when Koch and Kelly O'Donnell were trying to report.

Koch just said it was a group of thirty protestors led by Cindy Sheehan. Man they are very loud. What are they saying?

2. I just found this:
Activist Sheehan Tries To Deliver Petitions To White House
Activists Heave Petitions Over White House Fence

POSTED: 12:14 pm EST November 8, 2006


WASHINGTON -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan led a group of about 50 demonstrators to the White House in an attempt to deliver petitions Wednesday morning.

Sheehan said 80,000 Americans who are urging President George W. Bush not to attack Iran signed the petitions.

The group went to a guard station just inside the White House fence, where a uniformed Secret Service officer told the group to wait outside of the gate. After waiting for more than 15 minutes for the delivery to be accepted, Sheehan urged protesters to take handfuls of the petitions and heave them over the fence.

Officers from the Secret Service and the U.S. Park Police moved in to disperse the crowd and closed the White House sidewalk. Anti-war supporters claim that victories by peace candidates in Tuesday's midterm elections indicate a mandate for change, particularly regarding the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

hope that others sons/daughters need not die behind a lie.
