WASHINGTON – Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Wednesday pledged to “force change to happen” during protest speeches outside the White House and Capitol.
Sheehan arrived in Washington after a three-week cross-country bus tour that began near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. She is expected to participate in an anti-Iraq war rally Saturday that organizers hope could draw tens of thousands of people.
Sheehan, whose 24-year- old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq, wants Bush to more fully justify the war and say what steps he will undertake to end it.
