DALLAS (June 8, 2009)--About 40 people joined antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan as she planned to lead a protest Monday near former President George W. Bush's Dallas home.
The event Monday afternoon also brought out about a dozen people protesting the protest and about two dozen members of the media.
Sheehan's son, a 1st Cavalry Division soldier, was killed in the war in Iraq.
In 2005, she camped on a roadside near the president’s ranch, and demanded a meeting with Bush to talk about Casey Sheehan’s death.
Bush declined to talk with her, but the protest proved to be a catalyst for a growing peace movement.
The march Monday was sponsored by the Dallas Peace Center, which has been involved in protests with Sheehan since 2005.
After gathering on a corner, the protesters planned to walk to an elementary school across from Bush's new home.
Sheehan will speak about her 2005 vigil at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Poppa Rollo’s Pizza at 703 N. Valley Mills Dr. in Waco.
The speech is free.

Gramma, DMG, Justavet, American, Jessie and Sara P. Amen brothers and sisters. Just sayin...YOUR the reason I changed from "just sayin is all" Thanks Nudnik (look it up)
Glad you are an "ex-wacoian, just sayin!!!!" Not all of us Waco folks are redneck hypocrites. You can't argue the fact that Sheehan is nothing more than a psycho who is insuting her son's memory by doing what she is doing. And as for your comment about Waco people, thank God you left!!
