Poll question: How big a "War Chest" do you want to see Crawford Peace House accumulate? |
|
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 12:51 AM by benburch
How much extra money do you hope they raise to oppose Shrub before the spotlight leaves Crawford and moves on to DC? They have raised enough to have paid off the mortgage (but have not.)
EDIT: Had my information a bit wrong, so I corrected it!

In any political campaign, the money that you have in excess of your debts to use as you see fit is called a "war chest". Sorry! No more about war than a political campaign is. Somehow "Struggle Chest" does not quite seem right.

6. It may be a phrase that is used in a variety of ways but |

I don't believe it's appropriate for a group whose goal is Peace.
Contradictory?
Just my 2 cents.:shrug:

not theirs.
And English is full of such contradictory uses.
We could rationalize English, but then we'd be speaking Esperanto.
