Crawford Anti-War Protesters Arrested Near Bush's Ranch!by Lee Siu Hin Thursday, Nov. 24, 2005 at 11:09 AMsiuhin@aol.com (213)403-0131 Los Angeles, CA USA Please call Crawford Police Department: (254) 486-2678 Demand Their Release peace Activists ASAP! and Stop harassing them!  War protester Dede Miller, the sister of Cindy Sheehan, is arrested Wednesday for camping along a roadside in Crawford, Texas (Matt Slocum / AP) About four hours after the group pitched six tents and huddled in sleeping bags and blankets, McLennan County sheriff's deputies arrested them for criminal trespassing. Another dozen or so demonstrators left the public right of way after deputies warned them they would be arrested. The protest was set to coincide with Bush's Thanksgiving ranch visit. The arrests were made by more than two dozen deputies who calmly approached the demonstrators in their tents and asked if they wanted to walk out on their own or be carried. Two chose to be carried. They were to be taken to jail for booking. Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan wasn't among the protesters Wednesday because of a family emergency in California, but she planned to be at the camp later in the week. ``We are proud to be here,'' Dede Miller, Sheehan's sister, said hours before her arrest as she huddled in a blanket at the campsite. ``This is just so important. What we did in August really moved us forward, and this is just a continuation of it.'' In August, hundreds of demonstrators camped off the road during a 26-day protest led by Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq last year. But a month later, county commissioners banned camping in any county ditch and parking within 7 miles of the ranch, citing safety and traffic congestion issues. Earlier this week, three demonstrators filed a federal lawsuit against McLennan County over the two local bans. During the last several weeks of their summer protest, the activists had camped on a private 1-acre lot that a sympathetic landowner let them use. That land is about a mile from Bush's ranch. 11/23/05 11:58 EST Peace, No War War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate Tel: (213)403-0131 http://www.PeaceNoWar.net Send check pay to: ActionLA/SEE 1013 Mission St. #6 South Pasadena CA 91030 (All donations are tax deductible) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> *To Translate this page to Arabic, please visit ajeeb.com: http://tarjim.ajeeb.com/ajeeb/default.asp?lang=1 *To Translate this page to French, Spanish, German, Italian or Portuguese, please visit Systran: http://www.systransoft.com/

honorariumby AyatollahGondola Friday, Nov. 25, 2005 at 10:46 AMAyatollahGondola@Aol.com Although we disagree on many issues here on the board, I will issue a public honoria of those who have the boldness to challenge the president, especially this one, in such a provacative manner. Most of my cronies, and I for that matter, adhere to law and order generally, but when the president uses the local law to limit the effectiveness of national public protests when basic restraints are followed, he should expect some rebellion.
Now just reassure me that you didn't go hitting police with water bottles, spitting on them, or using your bullhorns as clubs.....
