THE PRAIRIE CHAPEL ROAD 12

A Film by Rebecca McNeice.

In September, a new county ordinance was passed to ban parking and camping on the roads around Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. This November, twelve of Cindy Sheehan's supporters chose to challenge that ordinance in order to protect all of our rights to free speech.

Watch the ENTIRE video for a full understanding of why these 12 individuals felt it was important to engage in civil disobedience over this issue.

Rosa Parks would be proud.
