For the past 22 months I have been on the road in my bus, The Yellow Rose of Texas Peace Bus , in my effort to protest
the Iraq war that Bush has gotten us into. To date we've traveled through 28 states aboard the bus.
Along my way I have met and joined with many of the good common folk of this country who are also deeply

I am currently on the road and in upstate New York.
