Johnny Wolf, Dallas Peace Activist and founder of the Crawford Peace House ( http://www.crawfordpeacehouse.org/), a center for the Peace movement located 8 miles from George W. Bush’s Texas Ranch, will be visiting Madison on Sunday Aug 22. He will talk about the work of the Crawford Peace House and engage in a discussion of peace issues with us.
A Quaker and long time Peace Activist, Johnny bought a house in Crawford, Texas, where Bush has spent much of his time when not in Washington, with money from his savings and proceeds from the sale of Peace buttons. The Crawford Peace House is not for “in your face activism”, but as Johnny stated “a pretty place where people can stop in the garden, pray for peace” and “express the alternate point of view” in Bush’s backyard. Most recently the Peace House hosted an outdoor showing of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 that was attended by more than 1000 people. The screening was "to counter the cult of war, which is headquartered just up the street", said Mr. Wolf.
