Hey, Tory boy...speaking of one's betters, care to meet me here @ approximately 2100, Thurs. nite? Bring what you can. Consider it the Tory foreign relief plan.
On September 2, 2005 the Veterans for Peace Bus from Mendocino County, CA took a detour to help the victims of hurricane Katrina. We arrived in Covington, LA with food and supplies that Camp Casey had sent from Crawford, Texas.
For Tour Schedule, Real News and more on the Veterans For Peace Roadtrips visit the rest of our web site. LINK> VETERANS FOR PEACE ROADTRIPS
We have set up a permanent Camp Casey at the Pine View Middle School, 1115 West 28th Avenue, Covington, LA. We are using the school to support Veterans For Peace hurricane relief efforts for the people of the region. We are supporting The Red Cross with power, medical supplies, kitchen service, food bank and distribution, internet communications and trained medical personnel.
