We’re here! We arrived yesterday afternoon. When we arrived at the camp we discovered things had slowed down for the day and preparations were being made to set up a second camp a few blocks away.
We were pleasantly surprised to learn upon meeting staff that we were being expected! So today we are up and out early to go help set up the second camp.
We are staying at fellow Green’s home of Tom and Tamar Yager.
Here are a few photos – more to come of course!

Camp Democracy officially begins today. Camp Democracy is a non-partisan camp for peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law. It is focused not only on ending the war but also on righting injustices here at home and on holding accountable the Bush Administration and Congress.

I met the greatest lady super duper activist at Camp Casey: Barbara Cummings.
First, she had the greates t-shirts with “Impeach Bush and Cheney” on them, which I bought several, that her son designed and sells them through After Downing Street.org. There is a page with Barbara in a photo on that site too.
Barbara is a wealth of information and enthuiasm, energy and life. She is a terrific person – compassionate and caring and has a heart of gold.
She called me tonight to touch base with us about coming to Camp Democracy next week. Now, out of all the people she has met and developed relationships with, for her to remember us here in Utah really means a lot to me.
I am so excited to go to Camp Democracy in 7 days – not only to be part of that event but to see Barbara again.

We held a press conference on August 29, 2006, to announce Camp Democracy. It aired on C-Span. The Associated Press wrote an article. PoliticsTV.com filmed the event, and has posted the one-hour video. The advisory that we sent to the media prior to the event has more information.
