Story aired: Friday, August 12, 2005



Tomorrow marks one week since Cindy Sheehan of northern California, pitched her tent outside of President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch. Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, died last year while serving with the Army in Iraq. Since Sheehan first set up camp about 100 other people from around the country have "joined her in the ditches," a reference to the roadside area where their tents are strewn.

Guests:


Anne Sapp and her two daughters, all from Billerica, Massachusetts. She joins us on the line from Crawford, Texas.
