Iconoclast: Camp Casey urges mothers to write to Laura Bush

[Generic Other]

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.

1. Gads! Don't push Pickles too far. She runs over more than crosses.

If she snaps, there will be trouble.

2. this reminds me of something

what ever happened to all the postcards we sent? Did they make it to Crawford?

[Generic Other]

6. I have also been waiting to hear

I have the post office in Crawford's phone number somewhere. But if they are as slow as my post office...you know I once wrote a letter that arrived 12 years later? And the letter was complaining that the guy I sent it to never got his phione messages. By then, I was married to him!

Anyway, do you really think Laura is a lost cause? That she couldn't be appealed to like some Crawford Evita? That she is utterly devoid of consciousness? Sigh...I think I just lost my own argument.

5. You think it will help?

Maybe Laura Lizard is more than just a lump. Maybe IT is also motivated for the same reasons as the rest of THEM. :D

7. Well...she might LOOK at your card!

And cry.

[Swamp Rat]

8. OK. In that case, this one might be more effective.

:D

14. What made him make a face like that? I know he's ugly but that's horrid

Wow.

[Swamp Rat]

16. You really want to know?

Read Gannon's tell-all. :D

[Generic Other]

17. I'm certainly glad there is a sponge strategically placed over his manhood

How could you pollute a thread about Laura with pics of the other man? Bad Swamp Rat. We girls have to protect Pickles.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Then I suggest you put her in a jar of vinegar right away,

to protect her slimy skin. :D

[Generic Other]

20. Oh horrors. Where do you get those colors?

They look radioactive! I'm afraid Laura's going to need a box of tissues after she sees that one!

I hope you never make these sort of pics of ex-girlfriends. That would just be wrong.

[Swamp Rat]

21. Naw, I've never messed with 'em.

I'm not interested in hurting people... only Alien Lizards and PodPeople. :D

[brettdale]

9. Will the media

Cover the march at 530pm?

[Generic Other]

11. Ed Schultz was acting like everyone would just pack up and leave now!

Hoping he's wrong...

[leetrisck]

12. laura bush has nothing in common

with these mothers. Yes, she has 2 daughters, but absolutely nothing in common with them.

[Generic Other]

19. They are marching now to deliver their letters to Laura!

The march to deliver letters to Laura Bush has begun. The walk is about 1.7 miles in the "hot Texas sun." Marchers are utilizing the road because the ditch was full of media trucks.

I am in front of the marchers taking photographs and notes. The marchers are singing old favorites like "Ain't Gonna Study War No More," and are chanting "Give peace a chance."

Now they are singing "Down By The Riverside," but have altered the words, like this: "Gonna Give These Letters to Laura Bush, Down By The Riverside."

The marchers are carrying a big letter in front of the group that reads:

"Dear Mrs. Bush, we as women of America appeal to you to udnerstand the urgency of our plea.
