Camp Casey II moves to Camp Casey Covington

Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 08:56 PM by ray of light

Camp Casey Covington

I know I sound like a loon, (NO COMMENTS PLEASE) but between Camp Casey II in Crawford, the hurricane, and the interference of the federal government your humble out of the frying pan into the fire activist has finally launched upon a solution.

Covington is just North of the Lake in New Orleans. It is a small community with a population of about 8,500 people that has been forgotten by the media hype and photo op moments by the Bush Administration.

I received this email about 2 hours ago.

My friends are renting a truck and filling it with the goods...I and my trusty companion Puppies for Peace President Lokken will be driving down in the morning.

For Immediate Release: Sept. 2, 2005

Where did the food go? What about the Medical supplies? How about all the water that was never sucked up in the 109 degree heat of Camp Casey? It got loaded up by the team and members of the Veterans For Peace Chapter 116,Mendocino County, www.vfproadtrips.org and hauled out with Annie and BuddySpell of the Louisiana Activist Network, Commanding the way to as close as Camp Casey could get to the catastrophe in Louisiana. Albert signed on the tour in Austin and we we were joined by Alex and Ella of Minnesota who spent a lot of time at Camp Casey the past month.

We are here, CAMP CASEY is alive, the food is cooking, and we are handingout supplies to the citizens of the community.

We need help.

Louisiana Activist Network and the VFP Chapter 116 are the only ones here in Covington.

We are in the Same Camp, Different Ditch, 96 degrees today.

The ditch is at:Reverend Peter Atkins Park in Covington. Corner of 28th and Tyler in Covington. LouisianaWhere we can take mail: 124 E 14th Street, Covington, LA 70433The Mendocino, CA Chapter (#116) of Veterans for Peace ( www.vfproadtrips.org) has joined the Louisiana Activist Network on the corner of Tyler and 28thStreet in Covington, LA where we have opened up a soup kitchen and medicalstation in a public park.

THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT HERE! THE LOUISIANA NATIONAL GUARD IS NOT HERE. ONLY WE ARE HERE AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY ARE IN DISTRESS.

We need, immediately, the following:

WATER, WATER, WATER
ice chests with ice
baby supplies (diapers, formula, ointments)
low fat powdered milk
canned foods
fresh fruit
gasoline
additional generators
shelter
flash lights

We, the veterans and activists of Camp Casey are here to stay.Financial donations are useless under these circumstances.

This is anarchy.

We need basic supplies ASAP!

GEORGE BUSH HAS LET THESE PEOPLE DOWN! IT'S UP TO YOU AND US!
