Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan told supporters at a peace forum Saturday that troops would get out of Iraq if millions of U. S. citizens took the simple step that she did outside President Bush's vacation home last summer. "Anybody could do what we did in Crawford, Texas. We just went down and sat down,'' Sheehan told the crowd of several hundred people, with Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn in the front row. Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son died in Iraq, attracted hundreds of anti-war protesters to her makeshift camp near Bush's ranch in August.

Barbara Roberts was faced with the decision to either care for her 18-month-old granddaughter, whose parents were stranded in New Orleans, or leave her with strangers to make her assembly line job. She decided on the former and was subsequently fired. Roberts says she wasn't even sure her daughter and son-in-law were alive when she called the Positronic Industries factory in Mount Vernon the day Hurricane Katrina made landfall.
