Yahoo: Grieving Mother's War Protest Draws Notice

[DemsUnited]

CRAWFORD, Texas - The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who started a quiet roadside peace vigil near
President Bush's ranch last weekend is drawing supporters from across the nation.

Dozens of people have joined her and others have sent flowers and food. One activist called her "the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement."

Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., says she was surprised at the response.

"Before my son was killed, I used to think that one person could not make a difference," she said Wednesday under a tent where she has slept since Saturday. "But one person that is surrounded and supported by millions of people can be heard."

He was one of the organizers of today's DC solidarity rally. If you listened to Randi today, you heard him (and me) at the rally.
