TX County Bans Parking Near Bush Ranch:

Camping not prohibited for now

Thursday, September 15, 2005; Posted: 10:28 a.m. EDT (14:28 GMT)

WACO, Texas (AP) -- Two weeks after Cindy Sheehan left her anti-war campsite by the road leading to President Bush's ranch, county commissioners have banned parking along 23 miles of roads in the area.

Before the 4-1 vote Tuesday, McLennan County Commissioner Ray Meadows said about 80 residents had complained of blocked roads, loud music and public health and safety concerns during the 26-day protest near Bush's ranch outside Crawford, about 20 miles west of Waco.

"It's not a First Amendment issue. It's a safety issue," Meadows said, adding that "no parking" signs could be put up this week.

5. Sadly
they think the neigbor causing all the trouble was Cindy Sheehan. They're kind of simple minded that way.
