This begins a series of pieces in which the Crawford Peace House's activities will be examined in order to understand exactly what is going on in Crawford Texas this year.


June 8, 2003

Crawford Peace House decided to target August for protesting in town since Bush would be on vacation there at that time. It only took them 2 years to find Cindy Sheehan to help promote the event! Remeber the big protests in 2003 & 2004?

Hadi agreed to lead interfaith silent worship every 2nd Sunday of each month. Hadi is Hadi Jawad, a pro-Saddam Iraqi national. (For fun google "Hadi Jawad al qaeda" and see what pops up)

The new webmaster for the organization's site decided "It is my opinion that members should not be listed on a web page." No reasons for hiding the membership were given.

Calendar reminder sent out a reminder for an event they had planned but there were problems as follows:

"Since planning this, we have learned that there are two other anti-war events planned for the same day, that many of us will also join--if you are already going, please join us! In conjunction with Veterans for Peace and several other vets groups, we are launching a national campaign to Bring Them Home Now, believing that the continued occupation of Iraq by US troops leads only to perpetual violence and disruption for both Iraqis and our soldiers. Please visit our campaign website for more information, www.bringthemhomenow.org, and our Military Families Speak Out site, www.mfso.org."

One member of the group notes that in only 12 more days we will have a new President of the US.

May 4, 2005

The group plans an event to honor Gene Stoltzfus who traveled to Iraq before the first Iraq war. Remember that one? That was the war where we defeated an invading army who had victimized their neighbor - Iraq was then a little uninterested in peace as a way of life.

Anyway, this has gotten too long. There' plenty for you to do so go get busy!
