Thanks for the LINK (What a bunch of loons!)

Shown, from left, are Melanie House, holding her 8-month-old son, James; Melanie's mother, Susan House; and Karen Meredith. Baby James House was four weeks old when his father, John House, was killed in Iraq. The father and son never met.

The Crawford Peace House is shown in Crawford, Texas, Monday, Aug. 22, 2005. With only $3 in the bank, things looked pretty grim for the Crawford Peace House two weeks ago. The telephone had been cut off for nonpayment. The co-founders used their own money for the mortgage payment and electric bill. Then Cindy Sheehan arrived. The grieving California mother's quest for a meeting with President Bush inspired more than $150,000 in donations to the Crawford Peace House since Sheehan started a makeshift campsite Aug. 6 along the road to Bush's ranch. Not only are the phones back on, but the group plans to pay off its mortgage. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

Looks like Cindy got into the hash.

[GRRRRR]

Gee, I wonder who actually OWNS the Peace House and I hope they are counting those donations as INCOME for tax purposes...I don't think/know if they have exempt status...???

They are begging for money again, I think this is just a big fund raising opportunity for them:
"According to Johnny Wolf, founder of The Peace House, most of the donations have been small. "But there have been so very, very many, we have been able to provide the tent, supplies to provide the meals, the kitchen facilities at Camp II, the supplies for both camps and The Peace House. We have used as many volunteers as possible to stretch the donations as far as we can. If new donations don't come in, by the time Cindy leaves, we expect to be almost bankrupt again."

Do the words "eminent domain" come to mind? Don't you think Crawford needs a new hotel?

First photo: nitpicking perhaps, but how can a mother, HER mother, and her husband all have the same last name "House"? I am scratching my head!!
