Activist Cindy Sheehan leads small protest near Dallas home of former President George W. Bush

Sheehan leads group of protesters near Bush home

DALLAS — Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is protesting again — this time near former President George W. Bush’s Dallas home.

Sheehan led a brief protest of around 50 people Monday afternoon near the house. The former president and his wife moved into the four-bedroom home in a wealthy Dallas neighborhood in February.

Protesters met at an intersection and then walked about a mile to an elementary school across from the house. Sheehan carried a sign that read, “For what noble cause.”

Sheehan’s 21-year-old son, Casey, was killed in the war in Iraq. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside Bush’s ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005. She said her issues with Bush didn’t end with his presidency.

The event brought out about a dozen people protesting the protest. Bush supporters carried signs that said “Pro Bush” and “Go Home Cindy.”
