The Peaceful Occupation of Iraq (Day 6)
-- a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX

Day 6 of the Peaceful Occupation of Iraq began early this morning when people in cars drove by our camp a few times and blasted on their horns. I just assume they were blaring their approval of us.

Before we get to the less than negative things that are happening out at Camp Casey and in the world at large today, over 700 people showed up at the Camp today. There were more people, flowers, cards, mail, interviews, laughter, heartache, camaraderie, excitement, and just sheer work.

We had the first birthday party tonight at our little event. Alicia from Austin turned 17 today and they came to Crawford to celebrate with a cake. Alicia said that she wanted to be out here for her birthday. So many great people from so many parts of the country and our world are here.

1. 700 people?

OMG, this thing is growing. Crawford better prepare for this. Because this is just the beginning.

As long as that maggot Bush is vacationing in Crawford, they will continue pouring in.

They're going to cut his "vacation" short, I'll bet.

4. hmmm, that's odd. I heard CNN say there were about 50 people

in attendance. Hahaha. Even my three year old grandson knows that a crowd with 700 people is "much biggest" than a crowd with 50 people. Maybe we better send these journalists (?) back to preschool.

5. You're right. I do remember reading that.

Plus, maybe more people will be coming this weekend. People are sure to have more time on Saturday and Sunday. Plus, maybe other people will be going on vacation, so they can join her.

You know, if they want to push the "50 people" line, they won't be able to soon. And then their credibility will be shot.

6. We must BE our own media

That's how DU works best.
