Protest Is Staged in Bush Hometown
From Times Wire Reports
In a first for President Bush’s tiny hometown, protesters scaled Crawford’s 80-foot water tower to unfurl a banner declaring him “The Toxic Texan” for his environmental record.
The Greenpeace vigil unleashed a furor in the Central Texas town of less than 700, blocking traffic and drawing a firetruck, sheriffs deputies from surrounding McLennan County, the Secret Service and a knot of local residents. The protest was several miles from the Bush ranch.
