FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- About 50 people gathered outside a gated community to protest the Bush administration and Iraq war Monday, as President Bush arrived for a private fund-raiser.

Bush was to attend the fund-raiser for Republican Rep. Clay Shaw who is running against Democratic Sen. Ron Klein in the 22nd Congressional District.

Protesters held signs that said "Stop oil addiction" and "Hands off my civil rights," while chanting "No blood for oil."

"We're extremely concerned that this war has turned into another Vietnam," said Kathleen Healey, 45, of Fort Lauderdale. Healey was a protest organizer.

Another protester, 17-year-old Nikki Boortz from Boca Raton, said she was mainly participating to protest the Iraq war.

"I don't think it's fair. I don't like how so many Iraqi civilians and children are dying," Boortz said.
