Crawford Peace House pays off $54,000 mortgage [View All]

[ben frank]

Does anyone else find this odd? And why did Anarchy1999 insist that this wasn't true?

with 150,000 in donations, Anne Wright tells us...”Due to the crush of people expected, water supplies may run short if more donations do not come in. So BYO.”

but they paid off the mortgage….

“I’ve been walking around with my mouth open and in a daze for the past two or three days,” said Kay Lucas, Peace House director. “It’s a blessing, a miracle. It’s like the parable of the loaves and the fishes.”

Sheehan well-wishers are drawn to the house, which has served as the hospitality center for anti-administration activists visiting here since 2003, and have provided enough donations to pay off its $54,000 mortgage, said one of its founders, Hadi Jawad.

“We have been waiting for somebody like Cindy Sheehan to show up for the past 2 1/2 years,” the Dallas activist said Monday.

More than $150,000 in donations have poured into the Crawford Peace House since Sheehan arrived Aug. 6 and started a makeshift campsite along the road leading to Bush’s ranch, vowing to stay until he talks to her. Because the rural campsite is small, most of the hundreds of visitors spend much of their time a few miles away at the Peace House, which has become Sheehan’s headquarters.

Not only is the phone back on, but the $54,000 mortgage is about to be paid.

“This has gone absolutely way beyond our imagination or expectations ever,” said Hadi Jawad, one of the co-founders. http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D8C51JPO0.html

Meanwhile on the Bill Maher show last friday, Cindy stated that her bank account was overdrawn. What is wrong with this picture? Wasn’t that money meant more for Cindy Sheehan than the mortgage of the Crawford Peace House??

"Rosie O’Donnell called to offer her support, “what did we need?” Buses for the rally Saturday and flights for more families and Vets to join us here. “Fine” she said, “I’ll send a check to cover it all.” Yipppeee, we have 5 buses to help bring in the supporters from Dallas, Ft Worth, Houston and Austin to the big rally on Saturday. Some fabulous new organizers arrived and went to work on details, flyers were made and organizations contacted by 2:00."

Why the hell didn’t the Crawford Peace House use donations to help out with buses??
