CRAWFORD, Texas — A year after her first protest against the war in Iraq attracted thousands of people, Cindy Sheehan resumed her vigil in President Bush’s adopted hometown yesterday — this time on land she helped buy for the peace movement.
“Last summer, we made a commitment to be here every time George Bush was supposed to be on vacation because he never met with me last summer,” she said.
About 50 demonstrators attended the interfaith service on the 5 acres the group recently bought with insurance money that Ms. Sheehan received after her son Casey died in Iraq in 2004.
