Way to go, Bree



Bree Walker, a former television newscaster turned progressive radio host has purchased Camp Casey, the 5-acre property formerly owned by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan. From The Brad Blog:
She confirmed the news to us moments ago, in an exclusive interview, that she intends to keep the property "as a ground for freedom and peace" and is considering erecting a memorial there for troops killed in Iraq. She hopes to create a meditation garden on the grounds and to keep it open to the public.

"I'm cashing out my capitalist corporate stocks and buying into a legacy of peace," she told The BRAD BLOG moments ago. Sheehan will be selling the property for the same price she purchased it for so as not to be seen as profiting from the sale, Walker explained.
I have long-admired Bree Walker who overcame her disability (she was born with ectrodactyly, a congenital deformity of the hand) to become fairly successful in television. I had started to worry about her when she apparently gave in to plastic surgery (not for her hands but for her face) but she seems to have put her priorities in order.

I was raised watching her as a reporter and anchor in the San Diego area, and I find her physical transformation disturbing. As Bree was formerly a serious and respected journalist, I was shocked to see how she began to mutilate her face with cosmetic procedures once she decided to switch to acting and modeling.
