Sheehan joins anti-war protesters at UT

She sure can draw a crowd....

About 50 people, including famed anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, gathered Monday at the University of Texas to protest the war in Iraq.

Demonstrators, some with signs, assembled on the East Mall and listened to anti-war speeches. The marchers, organized by a UT student group, Campus Antiwar Movement to End the Occupations, planned to march to the nearby ROTC building.

Sheehan said her message to military recruits would be "Don't go into this illegal, immoral war. Once you get over there, it's hard to come home."

A group of about 20 counterdemonstrators also gathered, and a shouting match ensued.

She better stick to holding her "rallies" in Berkely.
