I really think thousands will converge on Crawford this weekend.

This could very well be a defining moment in many lives, such as Woodstock was when it happened.
Except this will be a gathering for peace, and a demand for answers.

but when I suggested to my wife that we pack up the kids and go there instead of the beach for a week she looked at me like I was from another planet.

Find some Virginians on the board to carpool with, and head out! :D
It's our Democracy we're talking about here. If I was her, I'd understand. It's a moral imperative if you can make it and are healthy enough.

| 4. I've had that feeling for 2 days now.... |
|
It's what we have been hoping for a single focal point to harness all of this energy we have all had for so long...
There are so many things in history where one voice, one protest changed into a turning point.
Please, please please let this be one of those!!!!

| 8. Yes, she's doing this for her son. |
|
I personally believe she's doing this for him, and for all the other young men in this country who might meet with the same fate.
I would, also.

and then, I hope they all show up again at the Peace Demonstration on Sept. 24th in Washington. Cindy will be riding the "Peace Train" with us to the capitol.

| 9. I really, really hope that this is what happens... |
|
I hope Camp Casey becomes another Woodstock.
This is about Peace and Accountability.
The best way to support Cindy--is to be there if you can. High numbers in Crawford will send a statement that won't be ignored. A large, peaceful demonstration in Crawford could change the world.
Many in this country are against *. Many are at a tipping point. A large, visible, productive demonstration in Crawford could be the event that tips this country totally against this war and against *.
Many feel in their gut that BushCo is a lying, treacherous band of criminals and thugs. However, they feel alone in their thinking. A massive demonstration could help people to feel not so alone. When that happens, more people speak out, less people are afraid--and that's when these thugs will receive their "just desserts".
History can be made in Crawford. As another poster said--if you are able--it is a moral imperative to be there.
