STATE NEWS

Grieving mom may have worn out welcome outside Bush's ranch

08:19 PM CDT on Monday, August 8, 2005

From 11 News Staff Reports

A mother protesting the war outside President Bush's Crawford ranch may have worn out her welcome.

Cindy Sheehan lost a son in Iraq and is refusing to leave until President Bush meets with her.

She calls the area where she and other protesters have set up "Camp Casey," after her son.

"A state representative has been in contact with our camp and he's telling our camp that if we are there by Thursday we'll be considered a threat to the president and if we don't move we'll be thrown in jail," Sheehan said.

The president's deputy chief of staff and national security advisor have met with Sheehan. But she says she won't leave until she sees the President.
