Camp Casey coordinator Ann Wright has issued an appeal. The van that has been used recently to accomodate media interviews is being called out of service and there is now an immediate need for a replacement. Anyone interested in loaning or providing such a van for use by Sheehan should call Wright at 808-741-1141. She explained that this need is somewhat urgent.

Cindy Sheehan is en route to an airport to go to Los Angeles to be with her mother, who suffered a stroke this afternoon, it has been reported. The letter walk will still be held. About a hundred of supporters are at the camp right now (more counting the media) as letters are being read.
A PRESS CONFERENCE was held Thursday morning at which mothers from throughout the country were encouraged to write letters to First Lady Laura Bush asking her to persuade President Bush to end the war with Iraq.

A press conference was just held. Cindy Sheehan was not present, but speaking were Mimi Evans and Medea Benjamin of CodePink and DeDe Miller, Sheehan's sister.
They are calling on a campaign of mothers everywhere to write to Laura Bush and encourage her to influence her husband to end the war. They really aren't anxious for the Bush daughters to go to war. They don't want anyone to go to war, they said.
This afternoon, there will be a meeting at 4 o'clock to write letters. At 5 p.m., the group will read letters that people have written, and at 5:30 p.m., Sheehan's sister, DeDe Miller, will lead a peaceful march to attempt to deliver the letters up the road to Laura Bush.
Last night (about 1 a.m.), an unidentified man showed up at the camp pretending to be newly arrived, which isn't unusual. He was met by Cindy Sheehan's private security people, Patrick Miller from southeast Kansas and Dave Jensen from Tyler, Texas. The man said he worked for Jeb Bush and told Diane Wilson, a camp coordinator, that he could have her arrested anytime he wanted. He indicated, said Wilson, that he knew Secret Service men that happened to drive by.
Tammara Rosenleas, whose husband is now at Ft. Hood and is expected to deploy within a year, said she knew immediately something was amiss. An attorney from Louisiana chased the man down the road. The man left his car when chased. The car was towed and, according to camp sources, the man is now apparently in custody. Sheehan's security personnel praised the law enforcement officers for their prompt attention to this matter and their patience during the entire stay at Camp Casey.
