LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)

Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

[TXBubba]

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.

Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!

Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.

They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.

The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.

Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.

To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!

That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

Fox 8;00 EST, but he has scheduled that missing kid from Ohio, but maybe he'll bump it.

LOL! Well, I obviously don't watch Fox much on Saturday nights, now do I? :-)

Thanks for your reply.

Many good people in New Orleans..

I had to read that post twice, I'm sure it had to be a typo.
I hope it was a typo. Sad if it wasn't.

I think I'll join some of the others and let my news come via the radio. If Fox's viewer numbers go down, maybe they'll remember what got them to be #1 and get back to reporting fair and balanced. However, that wouldn't bring back this day or non coverage.

[MinuteGal]

Freeper TV may be closer than you think.

Trust me.

hope the Sunday news shows cover it

Think of it as an excellent tool for our man Brit to knock our pal little Jaunie Williams upside the head with tomorrow. ; )

There is no better place to be than sitting here in WV.

;] hey Amy- ya gotta speed read!To catch you up: there are a whole lot of people on a highway trying to avoid a hurricane. It is really big news on Fox.....*sigh*

[mscht]

Thanks for the update! I sure wish i could be there. In spirit and heart though, I AM there. =) GO USA!

I'd give ANYTHING

Unfortunately, what I have to give is strep throat. It's my third day in PJ's (not the same pair.) I've been stuck here hitting my refresh button and monitoring yahoo pics for anything coming out of Crawford that doesn't feature the moonbat militia.

I had two good books come in the mail today from Amazon "Slouching towards Gamorrah" by Robert Bork and "The Content of our Characters" by Shelby Steele along with my new issue of "Southern Living" and I haven't cracked page one because I've been glued to rally news.

I can't wait for the pics!

I think the media did think we had evaporated, well I guess they will know now that we are still here! If they march on DeLay they are going to find a whole new world, the wackos, I sincerely hope they do! Houston Police are not likely to be as accommodating to hippies, from what my cousin in Houston tells me.

[pollyannaish]

Yikes. Prayers for those on the train.

And do we really have to ask?

[tgslTakoma]

For anyone sending care packages to someone in the military, why not print out this thread (maybe just part of it) and include it in your package.

Also, we could copy the photos on cd and mail them in our care packages?

I sent a note to Fox News Live Weekend thanking them for their first report but indicating that even CNN has confirmed at least 3000 on the pro-troop side. And suggested to them, that is pretty darn sad when I have to turn to CNN to get the facts. It was a start, and I'm hoping to get better reports as the evening wears on.

[chudogg]

I've read the whole thread and understand the context of the converstaion. Have you?

I'm with you, i don't have a life either.

[Mister Baredog]

he was reporting from "the Ranch."

That location is 9 miles from "the ranch", but has a nice background, argh, the media, LOL.

[NewLand]

Seeing JimRob there gives me goose bumps! Thanks for the pic!
