The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford (Day 10); Misses and Miracles

-- a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX

We still have so many great things happening at Camp Casey. In spite of all the smears and lies, people are still coming.

The most amazing thing today was learning that Camp Caseys are opening and spreading all over the country. They have been set up in Boston, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere. If you can't make it to Camp Casey, set up your own version. Camp Caseys are amazing places full of love and hope. I am so gratified that the movement is spreading.

There is a meeting tomorrow at the County Commissioner's meeting to vote on closing Prairie Chapel Road and then evicting us. We were all worried about that and planning on being arrested when we got the best news yet. The property owner who owns property near Bush's ranch and right across the street from Bush's church will let us move Camp Casey there!! He has property on both sides of the road ... a full acre for us to camp! We are so excited!!! We can fit more people and we will be closer to the ranch. Miracles, miracles.

Mike Rogers from Tokyo showed up today and a dear woman from Australia who was a human shield in Iraq and knows that the Iraqi people are not jumping for joy that the policies of Bush destroyed their country.

This is an extremely short post today ... I am exhausted.

It sounds like Shrubs neighbors in his "hometown" don't like the fact that he moved so close to them. Bwhahahahahhhahahahahahahah!

... The highlight of the day had to be the pig farmers. These three old boys looked like they walked off the ranch down the road (wouldn't want to compare anyone with the rancher across the street). These guys were from West Texas. They are very angry with the play rancher down the road a few miles and are behind Cindy one hundred percent. These guys drove their tractors to DC to protest "The Pig Tax." One of these farmers happened to have a cousin with a ranch closer to George and land that Camp Casey can move to. Like Cindy said, another Camp Casey miracle ...

6. as I am sure they will do

I hope that the protesters are mindful of the land that they will be occupying.

I also heard that Cindy is planning on sending any extra money they have gotten in donations to an organization dedicated to the support of fallen police officers in Texas... basically in solidarity with the Sheriff who has been most helpful.

7. Do we have a location for this yet?

I've been using google earth to give me a visual concept of what is where and want to find this place.

8. Bush*'s church.. Would that be the same ministry Bush* would not allow

into the Whitehouse before the Iraq War? Bush* who supposedly makes all his decisions by faith refused to allow his minister to speak with him before the Iraq war began. That church was united against the War in the beginning but bush* would not even hear them.

10. Now, if only Bush's church would excommunicate him! n/t
