FOF #136 - Journey to the Center of Crawford - 08.22.05
Deep in the heart of Texas, is the small litte city of Crawford (pop. 705) where U.S. President George W. Bush's ranch house lies, and where the birth of a new civil rights movement is being born. On today's show Madge Weinstein, Fausto Fernos and his mother Patricia trek up to Camp Casey, where hundreds of people are gathering on a daily basis to protest the misguided war in Iraq, just yards away from the President's home.
Listen to Madge and Fausto in a cab, on an airplane, in a car, traveling all the way to Crawford to come face to face with the beautiful Pro-Peace movement that is growing in this remote area, and is inspiring hundreds of other groups all around the country to hold vigils, demonstrations, and rallies to stop the War in Iraq.
Stay tuned for more amazing photos on flickr and interviews with the mothers, soliders, veterans, activists, and ordinary people just like you who are gathering to speak out!

I completely agree. The coverage of Crawford that you and Madge have done has been really touching and powerful. Shows like yours are the reason I listen to podcasts.

Today's show is just a taste. Stay tuned for our interview with Jeff Key, the gay vet who has currently served in this current war.

Lovely show, Fausto. Thank you for putting it out there.

Wow. It was very moving to see Casey's cross in the "Arlington West" cemetery. Good for you, traveling out there. It must be difficult to joke around with serious baby-boomer ladies. But you tried. Seriously, this podcast was radical and queer. I think it's radical to be concerned about things outside of gay sex and tasteful decorating, and queer in the best way.

Thanks Chris, I'm just being my furry blue self. What I really enjoyed was the ability to get to know Madge and my mom better, in a deep emotional context.
Stay tuned.

Excellent show Fausto. I don't know what else to say. I throughly enjoyed listening to the people at Camp Casey and all the interviews. Thank you so much Fausto. Madge, and Patricia for bringing this very important event to all of us. We need to hear it.
