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.
Tune in to the next 48 hours of Fox and find out for yourselves.

Ih Thanks God they are coming on Sheehan's behalf! I always worry what side those nuts will take! If you know what I mean. ;)
Up until today, the Sheehanites have been pretty well insulated down there in Crawford with the MSM giving them all the "good" press..We have an anti-rally going today and for the next few days..but they (the Sheehanites) have this idea that THEY have their finger on the pulse of America because that's what's been presented..HOWEVER, once they get out on the road and go into the belly of the beast, they're going to find out what America really thinks..now, all we need is the MSM to accuratly report on all the counter demonstrations that will take place..while I'm waiting for that to happen, I think I'll go watch grass grow..:(
You people are so wonderful who do this and organize these things. Thank you so much.
LOL by capitalizing Moron you have shown respect for the Moron POV. Too nice.
On FOX just now they introduced John Kasich and someone said he was in the "heartland" right now. Maybe that means he's in Crawford! (Nevermind--he's in Ohio)
Also, I know Wendal Gohler (sp?) rode his Harley down there and had a report that was featured on Brit Hume's news segment two nights ago. Maybe he's still down there wandering around. Hopefully we'll hear something from him.
Double Beautiful!!!
Thanks. Double whammy to him. :) Think he might get the idea WE WANT COVERAGE!!!
You blinked?
Last year, somewhere in the middle of the Kobe Bryant uproar, I cancelled cable tv service to my home. They were all the same, FOX, CNN, NBC, all of them bad for my blood pressure. Now I'm not even tempted to resubscribe. I get all the news I need or want from FR and a few other trusted sites on the internet. The MSM, of which FOX is a full-blooded member, can go pound sand.
: )
Do we need to "Lock & Load?????"
I agree, we have had CS shoved down our throats for weeks and all we got was that lame report. Fox didn't do our side justice, "both groups sponsored by" was outrageous!!
