As you all know the vigil outside the Bush Ranch in Crawford Texas has captured the eyes, ears and hearts of the nation's people and media. This experience has been amazing, inspiring and life-changing for many of us here at Camp Casey. Cindy Sheehan and her family (relatives and Gold Star family) are tireless and brave; a new family has been forged here in the heat and passion of the past week and a half. Texas CODEPINKers and all of the other Texans who have shown up at the camp have been so wonderful and supportive, refuting the stereotype that all Texans are Bush supporters.
This weekend at Camp Casey will be full of music and celebration in the spirit of peace. Below is a list of events taking place at Camp over the next few days:
Thursday- Mothers March to Laura! at 5pmThe mothers of Camp Casey will march from the campground to the Bush Ranch; delivering letters to Laura Bush's door and asking for her husband to meet with Cindy. We will hand deliver letters from around the country, if you would like us to deliver a letter from you please fax your letter to the Crawford Peace House at 254-486-0172 by 3pm CST. Join us in pink if you can! (see carpool suggestions below for details)
Friday- Marcia Ball kicks off the weekend of music, 7pm at Camp CaseySaturday- Roses for Cindy, our pink rose of Texas! 3pmWe will be presenting Cindy with nearly pink roses sent from all over the world to thank her for her courage and heart to stand up to the President and expose his lies. Over 700 roses have already been delivered and have been put among the crosses honoring fallen soldiers. If you are interested in sending a flower to Cindy (or if you are able, please join us to deliver them), there is still time to lend your support- click here to give our rose a rose.

Joan Baez -singer, songwriter and activist extraordinaire- will join Cindy Sheehan and Camp Casey for a day and evening of song, spirit and inspiration. Be sure not to miss this one-time concert, and stand in solidarity with Cindy and her family, CODEPINK, military families, veterans and others at the new Camp.
Also, we are still encouraging people to join us in Crawford- if you want to organize a carpool (or know someone who does) please send your information (name, email address, how many seats in your car, etc.) to birddogbush@codepinkalert.org and we will soon be setting up a page off of the Cindy page from our site that will host a small carpool posting board. Check the Cindy page (link from the homepage) regularly for updates, and you are encouraged to post your rideshare offers and needs. If you are interested in sending supplies to the Crawford Peace House
http://www.crawfordpeacehouse.org/ "campers" are in need of flat sheets, towels, disposable cameras, and the other supplies listed on the CODEPINK site.

company!
Peace, love and solidarity from Crawford,
The CODEPINK Crawford crew
