[southpaw]

I just received this activism e-mail from ActForChange, and I wanted to encourage other DU activists to spend $3.00 to send a rose to Camp Casey. Let's cover them up with flowers!

-FEATURED ACTION-

Send a Rose to Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan is still waiting. While the president enjoys his five-week vacation so he can "get on with his life," Sheehan is asking that Bush meet with her and explain why her son lost his. So far, Bush has refused.

Send Cindy Sheehan a rose to be placed on the white crosses at Camp
Casey:

Sheehan's heart-felt stand has inspired over 1,600 vigils around the country and mobilized over 100,000 people against the occupation of Iraq and in support of bringing the troops home -- even in "Bush country" states like Idaho and Utah.

What can you do? Say it with flowers! If you can't travel to Crawford, you can still stand with Cindy and the Gold Star Families For Peace by sending a single rose for $3. Roses will be placed on the crosses erected at Camp Casey in remembrance of our fallen service men and women.

-ACTIVISM OPPORTUNITY-

Support Senator Feingold's Call for a Date to End the Occupation of
Iraq

The new Iraqi government is in the process of finalizing a
constitution that unfortunately falls far short of democratic
principles when it comes to women's rights. All the same, with a
government and constitution in place in Iraq, it's time for us to
begin planning a full drawdown of American troops in Iraq.

troops out of Iraq:

The ongoing presence of American troops in Iraq is only creating more
terrorists, inspired to jihad by what they see as permanent American
occupation of their country. Senator Feingold has "broken the taboo"
by advocating that we set a date for completing our mission in Iraq --
and his initiative needs and deserves our support.

Cindy needs water.

3. Then I encourage all who participate...

... to throw in a few extra dollars. The CODE PINK page promises that all funds above the $3.00 for the rose will go directly to supporting those at Camp Casey. I take them at their word.


on edit... cut and pasted from the CODE PINK page:

(If you would like to provide additional funds to support CODEPINK's efforts at Camp Casey, just check "other" and any amount you contribute over $3 will go directly to the efforts on the ground in Crawford.)
