Cindy Sheehan's Camp Casey 'electric'.
CRAWFORD, Texas - Oakland City Council candidate

"Camp Casey" - described the environment near Pres. Bush's
ranch as "electric."

Houston at a big anti-war rally hosted by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
The rally was part of a series of forums organized
by U.S. Tour of Duty to support Cindy Sheehan and educate the public
about Americans failed foreign policy in the Middle East.
"Cindy Sheehan's' courage to confront the
Bush administration has unleashed a tide wave of anguish over the
unjust invasion of Iraq. I think America is finally starting to wake
up. The environment down here is electric," said Allison, who was
the master of ceremonies at several vigils at Camp Casey for the
parents of those killed in Iraq.
Allison will return to Oakland this weekend and is
