Wolverine! -- Crawford Sunday - JOAN BAEZ
Girl, I am SO going down on Sunday, you wouldn't BELIEVE. You may want to consider driving back on Monday instead!!!! Got this email from Code Pink:

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
5pm

The 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 Casey

Saturday- Roses for Cindy, our pink rose of Texas! 3pm
We 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.

Sunday- Celebrate the new Camp with Joan Baez at 4pm
Camp Casey will be moving to land closer to the Bush Ranch (and across
from Bush's church, no less.) 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. http://www.codepinkalert.org

1. Has the schedule been changed since Cindy's leaving?
I'm sure a lot of stuff is up in the air right now. Hopefully, this movement is so important that it will keep on going. Cindy's request is not just for her alone - it's for everyone who has those same questions.

Let Camp Casey continue, and bless them all!

4. I'm still going down on Sunday
no matter what happens! It'll be cool regardless. I think it's important that we keep the thing going as much as we can.
