From CNN:
WACO, Texas (AP) -- Two weeks after Cindy Sheehan left her anti-war campsite by the road leading to President Bush's ranch, county commissioners have banned parking along 23 miles of roads in the area.
Before the 4-1 vote Tuesday, McLennan County Commissioner Ray Meadows said about 80 residents had complained of blocked roads, loud music and public health and safety concerns during the 26-day protest near Bush's ranch outside Crawford, about 20 miles west of Waco.
"It's not a First Amendment issue. It's a safety issue," Meadows said, adding that "no parking" signs could be put up this week.
I'm shocked --shocked, I say - at the suggestion that this could in any way be an effort to restrict free speech....

One can only wonder what's next in this free country of ours.
With luck, a change in the political fortunes of the Democratic party, coupled with -- dare I hope for it -- a sense of intelligence and compassion on the part of both parties.
But I'll settle for the first.
