We need help putting this out widely AND letting people know that charter
buses from Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth (or one in
between?) are being arranged: please help us identify good convergence
spots
in those cities (large parking lot for people to park their car safely for
the full day/close to city bus lines for those without cars/centrally
located or on the side of town that is closest to Crawford) and we need
help
with mobilizing people to fill the buses, or possibly take RSVPs to see if
we have enough buses on order for people interested.
Please spread around this event info far and wide, and email me at

Caravan to Crawford to Rally Support for Cindy Sheehan, The Gold Star
Families, Military Families and Veterans
Saturday, August 27th - Noon
Join us afterward for Hoe-Down BBQ from 2:00 – 5:00
We’re Inviting George and Laura to join us for some good food and
conversation.
We have a few questions to ask him!
The vigil of Cindy Sheehan and the other families and veterans in Crawford
has struck a chord with the American people. Like these Gold Star moms, we
ask the President to take a few moments of his five week vacation to tell
them why brave Americans like Casey Sheehan have been sent to their deaths
in Iraq.
Cindy has also hit a nerve. The President and his right-wing supporters
know
that Cindy Sheehan and her simple quest for answers threaten their hold on
power. That’s why the White House has coordinated a smear campaign against
a
grieving mother, rather than hear her concerns. The conservative pundits
have been turned loose on talk radio and cable-news to slander Cindy and
the
other grieving moms.
Now they are organizing a giant rally in Crawford to further demean Cindy
and mock her sacrifice. We are putting together our own rally to support
Cindy and the Gold Star moms.
Show the Bush administration that all Americans demand to know the truth.
Come to Crawford this Saturday at noon for a rally to support America’s
Gold
Star families at the new Camp Casey.
With only days before the encampment is over, it is more important than
ever
to show that Americans support these mothers and demand answers from our
President.
These families have paid the ultimate price for the administration’s lies
leading up to the war in Iraq and we all deserve answers. Please join us
in
honoring their sacrifice and demanding answers from a President who sent
our
troops off to war under false pretexts.
Details:
* Organize a bus or carpools from your community. It’d be great to have
a bus from all around Texas.
* If you do drive, please park at the Crawford Peace House and take one
of our shuttle buses.
* BRING WATER FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS!!!!!!
* Bring an Apple Pie to share!
* For more information, go to www.MeetwithCindy.org
Directions
From I-35, take exit 330 to 6 North. Go about 7 miles,
cross Lake Waco and
once it becomes a one-lane road, there will be a stop light. Take that
left
onto Rt. 85 and go 9 miles into Crawford. The Peace House will be on your
right just before the railroad tracks!
