Climb Aboard!
The Crawford Bus, the Campaign Bus

Are you one of those lucky few who can pick up and go at a moment's notice? Then you may want to take the bus to Crawford next Wednesday. Cindy Sheehan has become the voice of all those who have lost sons and daughters in Iraq and wonder why George W. Bush thought he should send them there. If you would like to add your voice to hers, here's your chance!

But if you can't stray so far, we have our own "campaign bus" right here in Orange County. Travel to one of the corners of the 48th Congressional District, and let's elect a Democrat to take Chris Cox's place. OC Grassroots, the organization, is supporting Steve Young, a progressive Democrat, and many other groups are getting on the bandwagon as well. Steve is willing to work hard. We need to work just as hard to support him.

The October election for the congressional seat is also a dress rehearsal for the Special Election called by Schwarzenegger for early November. Everything is back on the ballot, so we'll need everyone to help get out the vote.

Bus to Crawford

If you or someone you know wants to join the bus ride from LA to Crawford, LEAVING ON WEDNESDAY AUG 24TH, please ask them to reply to Tonia4@earthlink.net with their name, phone contact and e-mail address.

Gold Star Father, Bill Mitchell, whose son Mike was killed in Iraq on 04-04-04, (the same day as Cindy's son Casey Sheehan.) is arranging the bus pool and will be riding on the bus.

Thanks,

Meetup
Meetup and Get on the Campaign(s) Bus!

Meetup with other Orange County activists and learn more about Steve Young, running for the 48th Congressional District seat. Steve will be talking about his platform, his campaign, and how you can help. Topic Two will be the upcoming Special Election in November. All items are now back on the ballot, and we'll need everyone's best '"superhero" effort to bring out our voters. We cannot let Schwarzenegger team up with his big money donors and run over the citizens of California.

On Thursday, August 25, join the "Bush is Ruining America Meetup" at 7:00 pm (Wallaby's, 2106 N. Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA). As usual, "no host" food and drink is available. We ask that you add a 20% gratuity to thank them for the use of the meeting room.
