Camp Democracy

September 14th, 2006

Have you heard of Camp Democracy? Not likely if you get your news from mainstream media. Why would they want you to know that people are gathering to speak about important issues. The more they can keep you in the dark, the easier it is for them to control the conversation. But I digress.

Camp Democracy is a non-partisan (yeah right) group coming together in Washington DC to promote “peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law.” Various booths are set up between the Mall and Constitution Avenue for interested parties to learn about activism, electoral reform, community building, and more.

While the main topics addressed will cover and end to the war in Iraq, there will be plenty of speakers covering topics ranging from corporate globalization to the ineptitude of the Bush administration. If you are within the DC area, and would like to attend, here is a list of the schedule of events.

If you can’t (or don’t want to) go, but would be interested in donating money, click here. Or you can volunteer for any number of projects. Or you could do nothing, and complain that your country is going to shit. Your call…

    never heard of it till today but i have heard of camp casey so here we go. the first paragraph says “… focused not only on ending the war…”.

    do you want an immediate or otherwise timed withdrawal? dude. i’m not happy at all with the way things are going and blame mr. prez but i don’t think bailing is the answer.

    Immediate isn’t practical - but as soon as possible. There should be a definitive schedule of when to get the troops out of Iraq.

    Leaving in a quick fashion isn’t bailing - it’s a rational decision given the current situation.
