Pro-Peace Rally in Crawford, TX, on October 13, 2007.
I am inviting you to join me at the “finish line,” of the Ride for Peace, at the Crawford Peace House, this Saturday, October 13, 2007. If you can not physically attend, please join me in a prayer that day for World Peace and please pass this email along to interested parties.

I am about to complete an 11,000 mile ride for Peace. Almost 3 months ago, I left from the White House, headed to Crawford, TX, on a  scooter. My route, with just 1,000 miles left, will create a Peace sign on the U.S. Map.   Throughout my travels I have experienced extreme changes, in both climate and culture.  The scenery and people have been spectacular and have opened my eyes. Many have offered personal stories, food, hugs, homes, and donations. I have ridden in temperatures from 105-40 degrees; ridden in the rain, hail, lightning, and wind.

Perhaps many of you have never ridden a scooter, but trust me, it's no simple task to ride 11,000 miles on 12 inch wheels going 55 mph.  Nor is it always easy to talk about Peace.

What I have discovered while traveling is a dangerous polarity concerning Peace - in the same vein as “you are for us, or against us.” That polarity can make dialog between strangers very daunting. I made deliberate efforts to leave politics and religion out of the conversations. Instead, I asked, “what is YOUR vision for our future?” and “how do YOU define Peace?”

Whether you are anti-war or pro-peace, you, too, are driven by the idea of change.
Please join me, at a pro-peace rally, October 13, 2007, in Crawford, TX.   Join me in demanding both an end to this war and accountability through the impeachment of an abusive President. Let's demonstrate that change is possible and that, collectively, we are acting up to design a better world.  For more details, and to follow the blog through these experiences, please go to www.peacescooter.com
