**t r u t h o u t: One Mother's Stand - Continuous Up-date of Cindy Sheehan's Camp Casey Vigil

Cindy Sheehan is still waiting to speak to President Bush. She is determined in this quest, and is joined by an ever-growing number of supporters, activists and media who are congregating en masse at Camp Casey, a few miles down the road from Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch. Their numbers are growing exponentially: the latest figures number close to a thousand people. My thoughts and prayers are with them. Those of you who are able, please head down there and show your support! History is being made in tiny Crawford, Texas!


"The president says he feels compassion for me, but the best way to show that compassion is by meeting with me and the other mothers and families who are here," Sheehan said. "Our sons made the ultimate sacrifice and we want answers. All we're asking is that he sacrifice an hour out of his five-week vacation to talk to us, before the next mother loses her son in Iraq."
