Debbie from Austin here...working with those on the ground in Crawford in trying to help get people there from all over.

I've never seen anything like it. The Peace House alone has raised close $100,000 - and is a WHIRLWHIND of activity...try to make it there soon!

David Graeve in Houston is making a FABU banner for CodePink--and I'm hoping to locate anyone coming from Houston Thur. that can bring it with them (to arrive by Thu. before dark). This banner may lead a team of women to try and see Laura this time...

Thursday evening will be a big event, focusing on women/mothers of soldiers -- Oprah and her peeps coming in (!). Friday night also will have lots of action and Saturday rallies are in the works. (full moon Thu/Friday, so great camping!). Lance Armstrong at the ranch on Sat.--move for bicyclists to be there and push oil issues, while calling for Lance to take our message to stop the war to Bush...he's been very outspoken lately - should be interesting.

Call or email me if you want to stay plugged in, but your best bet is to stay tuned to: http://crawfordpeace.nfshost.com/forum includes RIDE SHARE BOARD & BIKERS see the call for a critical mass to ranch Sat. by bussing to Waco and biking out.

The latest news is that courts have apparently ordered them off the roadsides and as I write, they are moving to force them out. Thanks for the publicity guys! :) Even if they succeed, btw, there is camping at Tonkawa Park and much to be done via the Peace House.
