THEY ARE BLOGGING THEIR ACTIVITIES AT:

http://www.ivawdeployed.org/  On their blog be sure to notice the little "read more" links at the bottom of each entry.  Their dedication is awe inspiring and they are willing to do local  speaking engagements! Check it out: 

http://www.ivawdeployed.org/  A quote from the blog about the first day and night of the camp:  

"We are here, in the mud. It is not warm here...nor dry.....however, you should stand with us....in support of a man who stands up against the military mahine and a nation of millions who don't have the foggiest notion that our troops do not want to serve in this war. Lt. Watada is speaking for thousands of enlisted soldiers like Darrell Anderson and myself, a fifteen year veteran of the Army. Watada is a true leader.....leading and doing....he knows he should never ask enlisted soldiers to do things he would never do....that is part of the requirement. NEVER ask nor order your troops to do things that you wouldn't do. There are more violators of this rule in the military now, than ever (or at least in my 15 years.) Lt. Watada is not one of them...and with that, the soldiers, who have always followed good leaders....will follow Lt. Watada.. Mike, Damon, Ethan and I, slept on the rig last night...it was night one of Camp RESISTANCE!!!"

The proceedings against Lt. Watada have basically begun, and the blog is being updated.    Posted by Sylvie K.
