http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18976341/LOS ANGELES - Cindy Sheehan will sell her war protest site near President Bush's ranch to a California radio talk show host, who will preserve it as a peace memorial and keep it open to protesters.
Sheehan, who announced on Memorial Day that she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, will sell the 5-acre site in Crawford for $87,000 to Bree Walker, Sheehan spokeswoman Tiffany Burns said.
"I'm going to have native prairie grasses planted on the plot and create some kind of peace memorial that can include the names of fallen soldiers and injured soldiers," said Walker, who describes herself as "progressive."
Walker, a former TV news anchorwoman who hosts a weekend talk show on KTLK-AM in Los Angeles, planned to formally turn over a check for the property to Sheehan during her Saturday broadcast.
"Cindy is happy the land is going to be used for something positive," Burns said. "But Cindy does not plan to have a continued presence there."
