This, together with the story about the VFP buying video equipment with Katrina donations, is exactly what we said would happen all along.

Sorry about that, it worked in preview. Here is the last part of the emails again:

I have lost contact with Jim and the bus. I'm not sure what he is doing 
now that the rally is over. Perhaps Beatriz Saldivar or Bill Mitchell 
know Jim's plans for the bus. DUnderhill 512-799-9379

More on the Cindy and the Camp Casey III scam.

"We need the bus to stop this war"

Do they know how absolutely silly that sounds?

[2banana]

Looks like fraud to me...

[the OlLine Rebel]

Dumb question (or at least, ignorant):

What Katrina donations? Were there donations TO VFP allegedly FOR Katrina stuff, or were they somehow skimmed off some other donation program that doesn't claim to be about "peace" or "impeachment" (e.g., Salvation Army)? Was there some official org set up by VFP to (allegedly) funnel funds for Katrina relief?

In short, is this Katrina relief officially totally separate from VFP or is it 1 of their "functions"?

[Mo1]

Hey ... maybe they can offer to rent them out to the Mayor of NO

[elc]

Just to play devil's advocate here for a second. That sentence can easily be construed as they are using their funds they set aside to go down and "assist" with Katrina relief efforts, as opposed to money that was raised directly for Katrina victims.

Hey Mom, this is in reference to my reply to you, on the other Mother Moonbat thread.

[WasDougsLamb]

Sounds like illegal use of funds.

[Lazamataz]

Incredible research. Please keep it up. I will be delighted if Sheehan is indicted for wire fraud.

[BushisTheMan]

Lots of phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other information in those notes.

Perhaps research can be done on each one to see where their hearts really lie?

One looks like she is from Austin and does translations as her job. Wonder if her customers know how she hates America?

Losers of the world UNITE FOR MOTHER SHEEHAN!

[ViLaLuz]

This reminds me of Air America's fund raising efforts.
