I am already getting emails about donating to the Crawford Protest. I just talked to a fellow at the Crawford Peace House and asked about donating to the protest. The Crawford House is a permenant peace group in Crawford. He told me that they organize counter-press conferences when Bush is in town. They also have a website. You can donate to them by snail mail:

CRAWFORD PEACE HOUSE
9142 E. 5th Street
Crawford, TX
76638

Make the check out to the C.P.H.

A fast way to donate is online by going to

GOLD STAR WEB SITE

there you can donate by credit card or Pay Pal etc.

Here's another link in DailyKos of ways to help Cindy Sheehan as well as places to donate:

How You Can Help Cindy Sheehan

--snip--
The absolute best way for you to support Cindy and all of the other mothers who want answers for their sons' deaths is to go to Crawford and help them be heard. If you can do it, you should. Cindy needs your help. The soldiers in Iraq need your help. This is the opportunity to voice our opposition in a unified and peaceful way, with Cindy and the Gold Star Mothers for Peace as our leaders. Please, go to Crawford and expose to the world that the President refuses to explain his war to those who have paid for it so dearly.

Whether you can go or not, please read on to see what else you can do to help.


How you can help

Go to Crawford
Donate to Crawford Peace House (PayPal now working)
Contact Your Representatives
Contact the Media, National and Local
Sign Cindy's Online Petition

Be sure to contact both national and local media for this story. A good idea is to call your local TV station before you go, and tell them where you are going and why. Offer to report updates to them from the scene. Tell your local media to cover the stories of local families who have lost children in the war and want answers from Bush.
