Camp Casey Photos

When you enter "downtown" Crawford, TX on Hwy 185 you will pass the Peace House. This is the focal point of operations for the two Camp Caseys. Until a few weeks ago the House was operating on a shoestring budget, and couldn't even afford phone service. When Cindy Sheehan came to Crawford to lodge her protest she paid the $200+ bill. Since then the flood of donations has given the House a financial foundation to support all the necessary resources for running the two camps. If you decide to park near the Peace House you can take a shuttle to either of the Camps.

About 5 miles down some country roads lies the first location that Cindy set up to invite and then wait for Bush to visit and discuss the reasons he sent her son to Iraq:


Camp Casey I (8/21/05)
Continuing a few miles northwest on Canaan Church Rd. you will find the current hub of activity, Camp Casey II. The crosses were set up Saturday and represent all of the approximately 200 Texan soldiers Bush sent to die in Iraq. The tent itself was used a few weeks earlier for a fundraising event on the Bush compound:

Casey II is adjacent to the western entrance to Bush's compound and is barricaded and protected by the Secret Service and state police:

Upon entering the Camp II tent you immediately notice a mock coffin covered with photos and descriptions of all 1,860+ U.S. soldiers whom Bush sent to their death:

My next Crawford posts will contain more detailed photos of the two camps.
