Just a reminder that Cindy Sheehan and the Gold Star Families will be back in Crawford in August.
This year's events begin August 12.
President Bush has moved his vacation up, ostensibly to perhaps, avoid the peace movement.
So the peace movement moved their timeframe as well.
More in the Washington Post and from the Crawford Peace House.

Cindy Sheehan has spent some of the insurance from her son's death to buy acreage in Crawford. This will ensure that the Peace Movement has a place to assemble.
The McLennan County Commissioners passed ordinances to practically prevent anyone from meeting in a sustained way on Prairie Chapel Road in Crawford. You can meet, but not camp, not set up a toilet, or any other facilities, etc.
This decision is being contested in court.
But Camp Casey and the movement will continue at the location purchased by Sheehan.
As someone who would like to see the Peace Movement gain traction, I wanted to post this information to remind those who frequent Daily Kos--and if they believe in what the Gold Star families are doing-- to please help keep the events coming in August top of mind, and spread the word.
