    CRAWFORD - Shortly after Joan Baez arrived Sunday afternoon at Camp Casey II, she gave a press conference with the Gold Star Families, all of whom have lost loved ones in the war. She talked with them, and she cried with them.
    Ms. Baez returned to the trailer to prepare for her performance, speaking only in whispers when it was necessary to speak at all, saving her voice.
    She gave a moving performance, peppered with energy, emotion, humor, and humanity. She even showed (…)

    The Military is used to shut down a rave. The military is used on US soil. Anyone else have a problem with that? This is crossing the line into full on fascism- hired thugs that will go anywhere, brutalize anyone, even teenagers, no questions asked. Demand the mainstream media show this footage.
    These are first-hand accounts as posted at
    I was standing behind the second stage watching a friend of mine play records. Everyone on the dance floor was talking or dancing to (…)

    This is a note which I hope you will pass along about Cindy Sheehan’s vigil in Crawford. As most of you know, Cindy had to leave yesterday because her mother had a stroke. Still, most of the people who had gathered around her there are continuing the demonstration.
    There are Gold Star Mothers, Military Families Speak Out, Code Pink and many individuals who have lost family members in the war in Iraq or who have people serving there now. (…)

    Now it rhymes !
