An AP article covering this protest is currently located at the Channel 11 (Atlanta) news station

website.

A shorter version of this AP article is also available with a video clip covering the action in Atlanta

interspersed with video clips of Cindy Sheehan. (Look on the left and click on the video entitled,

“Mother of soldier killed in MBT SHOES protests in front of NIKE SHOX’s ranch.” This will take you

directly to the video.)

Fox 5 Atlanta covered this event as well; however, coverage does not appear on their website. The Fox 5

coverage of this on television on the ten o’clock news contained a good clip of Patricia Roberts

speaking, with Mary Ann MacCombie standing behind her. The Fox 5 news clip was also interspersed with

video clips of Cindy Sheehan’s protest in Crawford.
