Camp Casey and the Bring Them Home Now Tour
Camp Casey was the name given to the encampment of anti-war protesters outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas during his five-week summer vacation there in 2005. It was founded by Cindy Sheehan after she failed to get a second meeting with President Bush for an explanation of the cause for which her son, Casey, died.
