TX, Crawford: Speaking Truth to Power in Crawford Start: 20:31 End: 20:31 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. "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold, is for people of good conscience to remain silent." --Thomas Jefferson. WA, Federal Way: Free Public Movie Screening of "War Made Easy" Start: 17:00 End: 19:30 "War Made Easy" reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations. "War Made Easy" gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Primary Against John Spratt (SC-5) Start: 18:00 On 5/10/07, Rep.
