Cindy Sheehan's backers, the Veterans For Peace, are on the move:
We are moving some of the Camp Casey operations from the Pine View Middle School to The Green Room at 521 Boston Street in Covington - More information coming ASAP.
The VFP had to move out of the Pine View Middle School because they had lied to the school officials, claiming they were with the Red Cross, when they are not. Only Red Cross workers are permitted to be in that facility.
The Green Room is a bar. Both the Red Cross and the Covington police have checked it out. They both report no sign of the VFP being there.
Some more news from the VFP's bulletin board
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2005 8:39 pm Post subject: Do's and Don'ts--Fresh from Covington (Fri, 9/10--2:30 PM CT)Red Cross officials have said that this is completely untrue. The Red Cross does not endorse any shelters. Period. Besides, the VFP doesn't even have a shelter. They don't even have an address.Talked with my brother, Daryl Wade, a firefighter who's been volunteering in Covington since Sunday at 2:30 PM CT today. He says things are changing there daily, sometimes hourly, and wants people to have current news--as well as a list of "Do's and Don'ts" before heading to Covington.
THE GOOD NEWS: Red Cross has named Camp Casey the best shelter in Louisiana for Katrina relief.
And then there is this post from the very technology geniuses who claim to be "supporting" the Red Cross's communication systems:

Important!
Please Read:
The initial WiFi system that was sent down to VFP was rejected for delivery by people unrelated to the VFP.
We need a new system and someone dedicated enough to actually install it and get things operational.
Please forward this to anyone in the field that could help.
Thanks America!
And this, from the same thread:

There is power and computers and a satellite but we need the wifi. Just bring what you have if you can spare it. There are tech guys arriving on scene as we speak. Just find the Impeachment Bus Which is probably parked at
The Green Room
521 Boston Street
Covington, LA 70433
Or at least they'll know where it is.
Yep. They sure sound like the "best shelter" helping with Katrina relief. All you have to do is find them.
Leftists always lie. They can't help it. It's in their DNA.
Air America, Veterans for Peace, you name it. Always scamming, always lying, and always the first to point an accusatory finger at someone else for supposed transgressions.
I'm glad to see that, in this case, the VFP has someone checking up on them.
"Where is the MSM in reporting on this fraud during a time of crisis?"
Good question.
It's almost as if they don't care this is going on.
Every dollar grifted by Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore and the Veterans For Peace, is a dollar that won't be given to the Red Cross or other organizations that are actually trying to help the Katrina victims.
I can't stand this witch.
"It appears the VFP is trying to "...hitch their wagon to a star..."
Actually if you mean Cindy, she hitched her star to them. They had these Bus Tours and their big September 24th rally in the works long before she came along.
She went to the VFP convention and then got the idea she should go to Crawford. They drove her down.
But if you mean that the VFP have hitched onto the Red Cross and the Katrina relief efforts to line their pockets. Absolutely. And it must be criminal. It surely is despicable.
Great post!
Covington is in the most conservative parish in Louisiana. Sheehan and her friends will not be welcome there.
Hey, I did my part to help them get kicked out. I called the Board of Education of Covington and told the superintendent of that school just who these people were and that I wanted them out of the PUBLIC building if only the Red Cross had the permit.
I explained who these people were. The woman asked for a link and I gave them the HuffingtonPost article.
We need to dog these people. They are lying and claiming to be feeding people but the woman at the School Board said that the Red Cross wasn't even using that school anymore.
I posted the Graphic. This is the 1st time that has happened to me.
- The original photo wasn't of real body bags and had nothing to do with Katrina.
- It was a demonstration of lefties (probably anti war) stuffed in their own bags. - It was a sarcastic prediction of what to expect from them and I'll give odds we'll eventually see it. (All but the part of them voting democrat.)
- The text part of the comment was part of the sarcasm.
- I'll mail you what was posted if needed. Why exactly was it pulled?
You are the man, BITM. I've also been making calls, as you can see.
Yes, let's try to keep the pressure up. It's the kind of thing that can easily be left to slide--and these people will have gotten away with God knows how much money and supplies with this grift.
Although there appears to be a parking meter nearby, this gas-guzzler looks like it's actually blocking a fire hydrant.
That's a great photo.
I've noticed the contortions the media have gone through not to ever show the buses--or the low turnouts--for Mother Sheehan's jihad.
They always just show her or some other spokesthingy up close and with sky or some building in the background. Wouldn't want the facts to intrude on their stories, you know.
I agree with you. Let's dog them and call and make sure they aren't living off our our tax money.
Also, I'm trying to figure out how to dog Fenton Communications. Their SHAME posters at the "impromptu" rally in Washington DC were stupid and a poor campaign that failed. But it still made me mad!
Awesome! You did real good : )
El Monte RV is an RV rental company based in El Monte, CA.
That class-C motorhome is definitely a rental because it has El Monte RV on the front and is costing them in the neighborhood of $900 per week (more if they took the insurance option.) ooops, and dont forget to add the mileage charges over the 1000 mile limit.
I dont know whether to laugh or cry. LOL LOL LOL
Here our heroes cover up the name on their bus to try to dupe the school authorities into thinking they are with the Red Cross:
