Sheehan, anti-war mothers flock to Washington - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (AFP) - Anti-war protesters led by Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a US soldier killed in
Iraq, descended on Washington ahead of a demonstration scheduled for Saturday, three weeks after ending a long protest outside
President George W. Bush's Texas ranch.
Sheehan rose to fame after spending much of August camped outside Bush's ranch trying in vain to meet with the president to demand an explanation why her son, Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, 24, was killed.
Sheehan said her group, Gold Star Mothers for Peace, has been 'greeted with overwhelming support, in blue (Democratic-majority) states and in red (Republican-majority) states and we have come up against little opposition.'"
