 Thousands came to Crawford, Texas in August to support Cindy Sheehan's 
 challenge to President Bush to explain his administration's war in Iraq. A 
 simple request from a bereaved mother inspired and galvanized the peace 
 movement. Come find out what Camp Casey was like on the ground from people 
 who were there, hear first-hand accounts of the war being fought in our 
 name, and learn why the movement launched in Crawford by military families, 
 vets, and activists is turning the tide.  A benefit for the Veterans for 
 Peace "Camp Casey" in Covington, Louisiana currently providing relief, 
 including food, shelter, and a communications center, to hundreds displaced 
 by the Katrina disaster in coordination with the local Red Cross. More
