Crawford Peace House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crawford Peace House is an anti-war activist organization located in Crawford, Texas. It gained international attention in August 2005 during the protest of Cindy Sheehan,[1] who is listed as serving on the board of directors.[2]

In March of 2007, it came to light that the Peace House had lost its corporate charter due to the required paperwork not being submitted to the state since May of 2006. In addition, former Peace House member Sara Oliver claims that several hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations are unaccounted for.[3] Oliver now holds the right to use the group's name, and is demanding an investigation.[3][2]

Peace House co-founder John Wolf states that $285,000 was raised in 2005, and was spent legitimately.[2]
