Go to Crawford!

Dear Friends,
I am writing to urge you to travel to Crawford Texas to stand with Cindy Sheehan at Camp Casey in her challenge to the George Bush.
I just returned from 5 days in Crawford after bringing the Arlington West memorial out there, where we set it up and dubbed it “ Arlington at Crawford.”
If you have ever wanted to participate in something that may just be effective in stopping the war, this just may be it.
Although there are some discomforts like heat & humidity, fire ants, Bush supporters, etc., it’s a once in a lifetime experience and your presence and help in NEEDED.
If you go, bring plenty of supplies and be prepared to be totally self-sufficient. If you stay at Camp Casey, be aware that it is just that, a camp. So be ready to camp. There are plenty of hotels in Waco which is less than 30 miles away. Also be very flexible when you get there, circumstances change on a daily basis.
There is a house in town called the Crawford Peace House which is owned by the Dallas Peace Center. It’s the place where you will arrive first. Camp Casey is about 6 miles toward Bushes’ ranch.
For Cindy and her son and all the dead and wounded on both sides,
Woody
PS – If you can’t make it, please send flowers – they are used to decorate the 800+ crosses that have been set up and they wilt after a few days. Send flowers, cards, supplies, or anything you think might be helpful to:
