Prompted by Cindy Sheehan's makeshift antiwar campsite, McLennan County commissioners have enacted a law prohibiting camping along county roads, including those near President Bush's ranch. The law follows Ms. Sheehan's nearly monthlong protest in August outside Mr. Bush's ranch near Crawford. Commissioners approved the new ordinance Tuesday by a 3-to-2 vote. They voted two weeks ago to prohibit parking along 23 miles of county roads.

After we left Crawford at the end of August, McLennan County designated the county bar ditches “no speech zones by making it illegal to camp, eat or erect a structure for living in them . Additionally, they created a no parking zone for a 7 mile radius around the Bush ranch. This is a violation of our constitutional rights to free speech and free assembly. On Tuesday, November 22, some of us will challenge this ordinance by gathering in the Camp Casey 1 ditch to let George Bush know that he cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to our grievances.

McLennan County commissioners passed two ordinances in response to Sheehan's demonstration earlier this year when thousands of protesters converged on the sleepy Texas town of 700 people. Residents complained of noise and traffic congestion prompting commissioners to act, said Stephen Hendrick, a spokesman for the McLennan County Commissioners Court.

One ordinance bans parking along all 14 roads within a five-mile radius around the ranch. The other prohibits camping or placing portable toilets in any county ditch.

Commissioners enacted the ordinance — and another banning some roadside parking — a month later after neighbors complained of traffic congestion from the monthlong rally that drew thousands to the 700-resident town.


Do a quick search for Mclenna ditch illegal ordinance, or some such. I think you just like to argue.
