Carl Rising-Moore has asked that we pass along this information.

GW Bush arrived at the Crawford "ranch" on Monday August 13. The duration of his stay is not known, but it is suspected that he is starting his annual summer vacation at that time.

A continued presence near the ranch at the checkpoints is vital.

We feel its our responsibility to continue to stand up with our peaceful protests. Being close to Crawford, we have a unique grassroots opportunity to directly speak truth to power.

If you can spend some time at Camp Casey III, the checkpoint, or in the ditch with Carl, please contact him directly at 317-777-4805.

Transportation will be available from CC III to the checkpoints.

More information may follow on specific actions.

a non-existent national emergency- and destroying our military
readiness, as well as the lives of our young men and women.
