Since hot, hot Camp Casey in August, some amazing grass roots actions have taken
place all over the country. People are starting to speak up and Congress has
begun to take action against the criminal and neo-Fascist regime that tried to
take over America.

>From Camp Casey to Katrina to use of chemical weaponry and extraordinary
rendition to illegally spying on American citizens without due process, Bushco
has miserably failed our country and the world. We as Americans said "enough is
enough." We sacrificed a lot when we showed up in DC and other cities around the
country in the hundreds of thousands to protest against and show that we
withdraw any consent to be governed by murderous thugs. We started to
peacefully, but forcefully resist the notion that this government has any right
to govern us when they have betrayed their offices and their sacred trusts as
"defenders" of the Constitution so horribly.

This was also the year that we also began to hold such Republicans in Democratic
clothing like: Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Joe Biden, and Diane Feinstein
(list is by no means all inclusive) accountable for their support of what George
is doing in Iraq. When we as Democrats elect our leaders we expect them to
reject and loudly repudiate the murderous and corrupt policies of this
administration: not support and defend them.

There are Camp Caseys in front of Hillary's and Chuck Schumer's offices in Long
Island every Friday, as well as one in front of Diane Feinstein's Los Angeles
office on Fridays, also. There has been a Camp Casey in front of Kay Bailey
Hutchinson's office in Dallas since August. Several protestors have been
arrested in Dallas exercising their First Amendment rights. We need to let these
warmongers, as well as the Republican warmongers, know that we mean business
when we say "bring them home now." Set up Camp Caseys in front of your Senator's
or Congress person's office if they support George in his wars of aggression.

Gold Star Families for Peace (www.gsfp.org) is planning many activities for the
first part of 2006. I would like to give you all a heads up on them, so you can
make your plans accordingly to support us and to join us if at all possible.

On January 31st, we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address
when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth
about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home. His idiotic
policies have ruined Iraq and New Orleans and made the world a more dangerous
place...allowing that terrorist attacks have tripled world wide since he decided
to "fight them over there." He also may be laying the ground work for further
acts of needless aggression against Syria and Iraq. GSFP and representatives
from other peace organizations and refugees from New Orleans will be gathering
in DC to give the "Real State of the Union." Check our website for place and
time.

For the Love of God, Can't you Make Him Stop? Recently, it was revealed that
George only interacts with four people: Laura, Condi, Karen Hughes and his Mom.
His Mom, the Ice Queen who didn't want her "pretty mind" burdened with the
images of flag draped coffins coming home, lives in Houston. On President's Day,
(Feb. 20) we will be demonstrating in front of her house to implore her to
forget about the obscene profits that her family and their friends are making
off of this occupation and to beg her to finally do the right thing and make her
son stop this insane war OF terror against the world. George and *** are
defiling the highest offices of the world and they need to resign. On
President's Day, when we have the day off, we need to demonstrate against the
ones who are illegitimately in power, anyway. If you can't make it to Houston,
organize your own President's Day protest.

The Camp Casey Peace Foundation will hold its first annual Peace Festival and
Concert on April 4, 2006. April 4th is the day Casey and Martin Luther King, Jr
were killed. We want to turn it into a true day for celebrating peace. The Camp
Casey Peace Foundation will be awarding the Casey Sheehan Peace Prize, a cash
prize, to a young peace activist every year. We want to foster the growth of
solving problems non-violently and young people are the ones who get killed in
the gray haired old men's wars. We are working on an exciting event and we will
announce more details as the event draws closer.

Camp Casey Easter edition: We will be heading back to our leased land in
Crawford April 11th to Easter, which is April 16th. Easter is a time of renewal
and hopeful promises. Casey was killed on Palm Sunday and his body was returned
to us in the cargo section of a United Airlines flight on Holy Saturday and we
buried him two days after Easter. Last Easter Season was so painful to us. This
Easter we will again be demonstrating in front of the man's home who is
responsible for such pain and abject heartache in the world. But, we will be
there with a renewed sense of hope that the Chickenhawks will be sent out to
pasture this year. Like Michael Moore, I want to be a fly on the wall when Bush
and company are hauled out of the White House in handcuffs. Impeachment is not
necessary for people who never were elected...eviction is what is needed. If you
can't join us in Crawford, set up your own Camp Casey near you.

In 2005, we learned that we have the power. We learned that we can't rely on the
propaganda media or the empty promises of most of our elected leadership. We
learned that we need to be the change that we desire to see.

We learned that one person can and does make a difference.

We cannot relax in 2006. We cannot slip back into the evil of apathy and
complacency that the neocons rejoice in. We need to keep pounding, working, and
fighting. We need to support organizations like Gold Star Families for Peace,
Veterans for Peace (www.VFP.org), Code Pink (www.codepink4peace.org) and Iraq
Veterans Against the War (www.IVAW.net), or the Peace organization of your
choice so we can continue our struggle for peace with justice. We need to
support true American patriots like John Conyers who is calling for an
investigation and censure for the lies that have cost us so much of our national
human treasure.

2006 will be a great year for the people of our country. I know it.

It won't be easy, but we will prevail and the struggle will be worth it.
