Mother Sheehan has announced she’ll be stalking members of Congress next: Iraq war protester says to shift focus to Congress.
CRAWFORD, Texas (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 House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Bush ally and fellow Texan.
Sheehan has been demanding a meeting with Bush to discuss the U.S. presence in Iraq, where her son was killed in 2004. She plans to begin a bus tour next Thursday from Bush’s ranch to the White House to campaign for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.
One of DeLay’s Texas district offices would likely be the first stop, she said. That is 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.”
