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.

It's time we took responsibility for what our country is doing.

Almost a year ago, America went to the polls and sent a clear message to our government: it's time to bring our troops home from Iraq. But our responsibility does not end when we exit the voting booth. This war is being fought with our money and by our sons and daughters, and we cannot wait for the next election and hope that America's government will eventually catch up with its people.

It's time we went directly to Congress – not with letters or marches, lobbying or phone calls – we'll meet them inside the House and Senate chambers. Congress reconvenes after their summer vacation on September 4th. Let's be there to let them know that we are watching.

We are calling on Americans to join us in the Capitol on September 4th, where we will gather in the House and Senate chambers and, at a given signal, rise to our feet together to stand watch over our government.

Crossing the Color Line: From Rhythm and Blues to Rock & Roll

Join us for a very special evening with Mr. Julian Bond. In “Crossing the Color Line,” Mr. Bond presents the civil rights movement through a history of American music. He traces the melding of jazz, blues, country music and pop into rock & roll, stopping along the way to examine the influences of race, demographics, war, immigration and technology in this transformation.

From his student days as a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to his former position as Chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Mr. Bond has been a leader in the movements for civil rights, economic justice, racial equality and peace. The holder of twenty honorary degrees, he is a Distinguished Professor at American University in Washington, D.C., and a Professor of history at the University of Virginia.
