Ms. Sheehan has paid over ,000 for land just outside of Crawford, Texas for Camp Casey and the upcoming protest of the Iraq War there. She has been fasting with Code Pink and several other anti-war organizations in front of the White House for over three weeks.
As a result of their fast, the Prime Minister of
Iraq has asked them to attend a meeting to help
develop a plan for withdrawing the troops.
The property will be a welcome retreat for the
thousands of people who will attend Camp Casey
this year with electricity, water, a campground,
and a parking lot. Last year much of their time
was spent in a ditch at the side of a county road.
The mostly republican residents have voiced
concerns about traffic jams and the smell of
porta-potties.....but not about the huge loss
of life and mayhem that has occured in Iraq
over the past 3+ years.
