The Bring Them Home Now Tour was a rolling anti-war protest against the Iraq War, beginning in Crawford, Texas, travelling three routes across the country (with rallies along the way) and culminating in a rally in Washington, D.C. in September 2005. The tour was organized by Gold Star Families for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, and Veterans For Peace. It was inspired by and featured Cindy Sheehan as a speaker at many rallies. The three tour buses were purchased with donated money.〔() 〕 ==Bus tour - Week 1== *August 31, 2005: The bus tour Starts from Crawford, headed to Washington, D.C. following three legs - north, central and south.〔(story in public square | wpri.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bring Them Home Now Tour - It\'s time we bring our soldiers home )〕 *August 31, 2005: During a march in Austin, Texas, Sheehan says "I think it's important to connect these two things *September 1, 2005: Bus tour stops at House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's office in Stafford, Texas and Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church in Houston for an evening anti-war rally.〔http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/rssstory.mpl/politics/3335829〕 Sheehan is not able to meet with DeLay due to previous engagements. *September 3, 2005: The anti-war bus tour arrives in Minneapolis, Minnesota where protesters link the Iraq War with the inability to respond to Hurricane Katrina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=StarTribune.com: News, weather, sports from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Minnesota )〕 "People are dying in Louisiana and New Orleans right now" because Bush, a "warmonger," is intent on "looting" oil in Iraq", said state Rep.
