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.
Don't tell me...she's still dead....right?
MSNBC's been popping into Crawford throughout the day. I keep looking for my FReeper FRiends on there.
MSNBC is actually showing both sides of it and trying to keep the spin down to a dull roar.

I did my part and emailed FNC, not that I think it will do any good!

Fox just report "thousands" of pro Bush supporters
You sound like me. :)
I would want those people arrested!
Fox just did a 30 second up date on the rally!
La dee FREAKIN" dah..
Whatsamatter with those guys?
Natalie Halloway is too important, I guess..
Sheesh
Ms.B
You are not kidding, Oldfriend!
I called the 888 number at Foxnews, impatiently nodded through the menu, and finally left a message.
I am burning up about Fox Radio news. It hasn't been too long since WOAI (San Antonio -- the Rush and Hannity station) got rid of ABC news and subsituted Fox instead. I was delighted. And now this!!
Anyway I said, "I hope your reporters can put aside their personal politics and report truthfully about the 3,000 people who have come to support our troops.'.
Grrrrr.
CNN's website is covering the Crawford situation. Number three after the Gulf Coast evacuation and the relase of prisoners from Abu Ghriab...
...equated MoveAmericaForward with MoveOn.org....
I thought the same thing...didn't like his implications.
"IF" the media attempted to do a thorough job, they would know that many, many of the pro-troops, pro-Bush people are truly 'grassroots', "every day" people who've gone there on there own cause they love our country, our troops and our President. And, if Cindy thinks America is such a bad place, why doesn't she just take her buddies and leave.
CNN again now reporting thousands of pro troops vs. hundreds of pro terrorist (Cindy).
I understand, but they aren't worth feeling any disappointment over. FOX pulled this during the election cycle too. They aren't an ally. There ARE some good people at the network, but I don't rely on FOX. They are what they are, which is a center Left network.
So, raise some hell at their offices for what they pulled, but otherwise? They are irrelevant. What gives me joy is that WE are the majority, even though the other side is bought and paid for while ours hold down jobs and support families, OUR side trumps theirs. Isn't that pretty cool?
I just don't believe the media, and this includes FOX, and I don't believe most of these junk polls. I do believe what we've seen today and that does NOT bode well for the anti-war/Democrats. It means DESPITE the MSM, there are a lot of people out there outnumbering the opposition that they aren't reporting on that are communicating and defying the conventional line out of CNN/FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC/NYT's offices.
D.C. is hearing about this rally, and I'm confidant more than a few people are ashen faced and wondering how they are going to turn this around into another Vietnam because they've just flopped again.
That is one of the points I made in my e-mails to Fox News. Our troops NEED to hear and see the thousands and thousands of supporters who have gone to Crawford. I cannot imagine how disheartening it is for our troops to hear all of the negative, biased media coverage of Ms. Sheehan and her supporters.
Thank your brother for me, we honor all of our troops AND their families. :)
Dari Alexander with a newsbreak---showing footage of Joan Baez putting on suntan lotion, talking about Cindy Sheehan...THEN says that Cindy Sheehan WELCOMES a chance to debate the Pro-Bush crowd!!!
WHERE THE HECK did THAT come from?????
Called twice already.
