Antiwar mom Sheehan takes protest to White House

WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed fighting in Iraq and who camped for weeks outside U.S. President George W. Bush's Texas ranch to protest the war, brought her message to Washington on Wednesday with rallies and lobbying ahead of a larger demonstration this weekend.

Sheehan was joined by about 30 supporters in her march down Pennsylvania Avenue to deliver a letter to Bush urging him to pull the troops out of Iraq.

"We want to hold this administration accountable. Nobody's asking them the hard questions but you know what, we're willing to come here," said Sheehan, the California mother whose son Casey was killed in combat in Iraq.
