Cindy Sheehan met with hundreds of supporters at the State Capitol Wednesday evening and then marched to Austin City Hall.

Sheehan was camping outside President Bush's Crawford ranch. She lost her son in the Iraqi War and says she wants to talk to President Bush, face to face. Her camp has grown into a large anti-war movement over the last month.

Some people at Wednesday's rally were refugees from Hurricane Katrina, and the disaster in the Southeast wasn't far from anyone's minds.

"I think it's important to connect these two things. We should be focused on America right now, not what's happening in Iraq with this natural disaster. It's important to have as many of our National Guard folks back here to support that effort," Sheehan said.

Sheehan plans to tour the country with her anti-war message, eventually ending up in Washington.

She'll continue her vigil for her son there, and still hopes for a "sit-down" with President Bush.
