this weekend, when we created "Camp Pelosi" to encourage the Speaker to be a leader and stop funding Bush's war. We hope to keep this vigil going until the vote on the war funds sometime next week.

Right now the small group needs your support, people to relieve them for an hour break, people to bring food (wine and cheese appreciated!), umbrellas for shade, more people to stay overnight, music and encouragement.
