Resolutions

Many have wondered if Camp Casey would carry through to bring meaningful change. The jury is still out on that but signs of progress can be seen.

The tour group left last week. This week the City Counsels of Evanston and Chicago approved resolutions to encourage the President to order the speedy and orderly withdrawl of our troops now serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Polls show that the people of the United States no longer see a strategic benefit for our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan particularly following the biggest natural disaster in the history of the nation. With the reports out of the Gulf Coast indicating a rising death toll hundreds of thousands of people displaced, our resources....all of them... are needed at home to help our neighbors. The task of rebuilding will be huge and our people need to be the priority.

Today, the tour was in Philadelphia. The City Council welcomed the group with a resolution that both welcomed them to the City of Brotherly Love AND offered encouragement to the federal government to bring our troops home quickly.

In a week, people from all over the country will gather on the Washington Mall to express to the President that we want the troops home - NOW! Join us. It promises to be a historic event.
