The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford (Day 9); Hope

-- a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX

The ninth day ended in the most awesome way. We were out at Camp Casey and it was sprinkling a little bit and it really looked like the rain was going to start pouring down anytime. We looked over into the next cow pasture and there was a full rainbow. If that wasn't a sign from the universe then I don't know what is.

I was being interviewed by Alex Jones and he asked me what I thought the rainbow signified. I told Alex that I was positive that it means we are going to be victorious. Rainbows are supposedly God's sign of hope. When Casey was killed on 04/04/04, I thought that all of my hope was killed, too. Being involved in the peaceful occupation of Crawford and meeting hundreds of people from all over the world who are willing to put their money where their mouths are has given me so much hope for the future. We won't let George Bush and his evil neocon cabal ruin our world anymore. John Lennon sang: "Power to the people." We are the people and we have the power.

1. If you are at Camp Casey, could you ask around...

I was thinking of setting up a special event
ham radio station at Camp Casey this weekend.
This would be HF frequencies, allowing checkins
from around the country, just as a further way of
getting out the message and allowing other hams
that are like-minded to have a connection to the
protest.

Could you maybe ask what are the thoughts on this?

I would take care of the station and setup and getting
the word out to other hams.

2. My only thought

would be power. Do you have a generator or will a battery work (not a ham)?

3. I have lots of batteries and a solar panel ...

I would have to set up an antenna which could be strung along
the side of the road behind where everyone sits.

4. Kicking..hoping for more feedback n/t

5. if you can manage all the equipment and power

then it does sound interesting

be sure to run the idea by the crawford peace house as they are the people who are "managing" this and doing all logistics (beautifully from what we hear)

good luck

7. I just got an email back from Crawford Peachhouse giving,

me the go ahead. I have all the equipment from
years of hamming.
I expect some hams won't agree and I may end up
spending all of my time dealing with right wingers,
but what ever it takes, I guess.
