Some of the groups at Camp Casey will leave Crawford on Aug 31 and travel three different routes across the country, converging on Washington DC on Sept. 21. One of the stops is Minneapolis on Sept. 3 but unfortunately there is no further information on the website at this time. If anyone comes across any info regarding when and where they will hold their rally, please post the info here. This is a great opportunity for those of us that couldn't go to Crawford to get out there and show our support. Here's some more info and a link:
We are currently at a significant turning point in how the American public views the war in Iraq. As the death toll in Iraq rises, Cindy Sheehan’s vigil near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of Americans. Bush’s approval rating is falling. The voice of military families, who have lost loved ones and those with loved ones in harm’s way or about to deploy, can activate the American people. The voice of veterans, both of this war and of previous wars will also build the movement to end the war. Together these critical voices can demand that President Bush make the decision now to bring the troops home.
On August 31st, the last day of the encampment, the Bring Them Home Now Tour will launch three buses from Crawford, Texas, each carrying military and Gold Star families, veterans of the Iraq War and veterans of previous wars. These buses will travel different routes across the country, converging in Washington, DC on September 21, for the United for Peace and Justice Mobilization September 24th-26th.
