Camp Casey III - 2006

While the others were off hanging out with Karl Rove ( one of the most fun actions a lot of the people had ever participated in - and hey, press ranging from CNN to Washington Post to USA Today, so pretty successful : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/19/AR2006081901000.html ), I stayed around to hold down the fort. Actually, lots of us stayed (and lots of us went). We have two people on security 24 hours a day. There are some "crazies" who have made various threats, and the police have warned some of them to stay off the property etc. Plus, you never know who the next "crazy" will be. So we check out everyone coming in or out.


Fellow security person. Jamie, I think...?


Three folks from Austin!!


Larry and ???? Larry can fix ANYTHING



The founder of the Peace House....'nuff said!


The Rev..... Lenox Yearwood, from DC......he gave a great talk Saturday night!



Adrian....we had a lot of fun playing. He was here for the day with his dad....we even did some racing...(he always won)

Zachary! I was impressed with her leadership and organizing abilities...Thanks Zach!

Cindy - but you knew that...





Late night, after the Rev's talk....

more late night photo ops....The Rev really gave a nice talk on Saturday night...I have extensive notes, and I'm hoping for the audio from my sound buddy....

The Rev talking with karen . Karen was holding down the office duties while i was there. She's also a delegate for the Dems in California, and is part of the Progressive Democrats of America

After everything was done, Karen (above), Kyle (from Austin) and I were talking with the Rev informally. He pulled four chairs into a little circle and we sat down to continue. Before long, five more people had joined us and we kept on talking. We started out discussing how to keep the Camp Democracy agenda inclusive of multiple issues and not too narrow, but it evolved into a wide-ranging discussion of the middle east, politics, and solutions.... exciting. This is what education and gatherings like this are all about!

I think this was late night friday???? The loud part of camp...I was asleep ten minutes later.
