Boise TV stations will air ads featuring Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan during the President's visit to Idaho.

The 60-second ad that accuses Bush of lying to the American people about the war in Iraq will air through tomorrow after supporters contributed $10,000 to buy the air time.

The ad aired earlier this week in Salt Lake City, but one station refused to run it, saying it was offensive to the community.

Sheehan is currently caring for her ailing mother in California, but anti-war protests last night in Donnelly and today in Boise are aimed at demonstrating support for her cause.
