TREK FOR TRUTH
On March 20, 2003 I am walking across the nation in the hope of meeting with the First Lady.

I am a 40 year old mom, and I am increasingly concerned for my children-and I don't know what else to do. Along this walk I will be talking with many mothers, collecting questions and comments to present to Laura Bush.
I want to know how she can support the horrors her husband is perpetuating in our world. This is certainly contrary to how she was portrayed during his campaign. Where is the compassion that was promised? How can she justify the President spending billions of dollars to intentionally kill children and destroy water and sewage treatment plants, education systems, and health program facilities throughout the world? As a mother, educator, librarian, and the First lady of the wealthiest nation in the world, how can she support, through apathy and neglect, the same destruction in this country?

The First Lady needs to come out and tell us - the people
- how she can stand by her husband's arrogant destructive actions?

I am seeking SUPPORT!!
This is an invitation to join me for part, or all, of this trek.
(Besides, I don't really want to go through the desert alone!)

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
If you are unable to walk with me, you can get involved by supplying any of the following items:
shoes, backpack, bedroll, cell phone, sunglasses, rain gear, website, water, support van, monetary contributions, and chocolate!

AND PLEASE WRITE TO LAURA BUSH AND ASK HER TO RECEIVE ME!
