New Peace Takes Courage Video - HURRICANE KATRINA
I just finished up a new Hurricane Katrina video.




Video - Windows Media Player
Video - http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/08/23/avas-cl-hurricane-katrina-video/">Quicktime

Also please remember that victims of Hurricane Katrina are still struggling to recover almost a year later. At least 1,836 people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their homes. Peace Takes Courage has put together a list of organizations that are still working to help victims of the storm. Even the smallest amount helps, so please donate.

Please visit www.peacetakescourage.com/aid for information on how you can help Katrina victims.

13. Always Ava.
:woohoo:

Looking forward to school beginning? How red is your school?

My grandson goes to kindergarten 1 Sept.! I wonder how the wonderful policies instated over the last several years will affect the spirit of my sweet and caring grandson. He's not afraid to speak his mind, at all. He's very polite most of the time; for a five year old.

It's so good to know there are souls such as yours growing up in the world today. How I wish more would find such clarity. :)

12. Thank you, Ava
As always, your videos move me, and I send them on to others, encouraging them to share as well.

Rockey meeting the Chimp today sent the wrong message...or maybe it was the right one, meaning that the CHimp is still laughing, having a good time and busy ignoring any and all Americans who need their government.

Ava... :hug: I so appreciate you.

23. As a Katrina survivor
I want to thank you so much for your efforts. Our Government wasn't there for us but everyday Americans were and are and will be. Please know that you're appreciated!

27. You continue to amaze me, Ava.
I'm going to make another donation right now, albeit a small one. Money is in short supply in my home but not nearly as short as those who's lives were destroyed by Katrina, Rita and the bush administration.
Keep up the good work. It's young people like you who give an old bird like me hope for the future! :yourock:

28. invaluable work...the credence clearwater was a perfect touch ...thanks
b*sh is in the business of destroying those who do not agree with him and these were definitely not his constituants...so for him it was a "godsend"...that is the way of pure and unadulterated evil.

31. That is beautiful, necessary work.
That so much remains to be done, so much most basic stuff, is a continuing indictment of this criminal cabal's heartlessness.

33. Love the opening with the Verve remix of Sinnerman
You should have just let the Nina Simone play throughout.

35. If you get the original
(it's on many of the Nina Simone "Best ofs" and on the Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack), it has a long (and I mean loooong) instrumental in the middle that would go well with interviews and other speaking segments that could ride on top of it, then it kicks in with the lyrics again at the end.
