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.
This is great. Wish I lived closer to Texas so I could be there. I am there in spirit.
"FOX has been slanted towards the left on this"
Do you imagine Murdoch has anything to do with this?
Tell 'em!
Thank you all from real Americans everywhere who cannot be there in person. You make us proud to know that most people respect and honor our troops, past and present.. Again, thank you.
I was over by the coffee station and didn't make it over to where everyone else was. Pity. I asked several folks if they were Freepers (got a few confused looks LOL)...
Thanks for posting it.
GREAT news! We will lose each other in this mess. Keep in touch...
Yes, I've been in DC in August -- lived in Fairfax County for almost nine years. It is definitely worse than that. Being native Texans we would laugh over the weather hysteria in DC. Houston and New Orleans have it way worse. Are you in DC?
Cindy ought to have her own show there. She'd fit right in with Al Frankenweenie and Jeneane Gabarfalo.
Well yeah ... but there's only so many despots and dictators you can fit on a sign :)
Sheriff deputies arrest a pro-war demonstrator at the protest camp near U.S. President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, August 27, 2005.

Just wondering if Greg Kelly showed that on purpose. Her clip was longer that the pro side, but it took a little while for cindyloon to make this rediculous, nonsense comment.
Maybe Kelly wanted to show what an idiot she is?
LOL!
What on earth are they arresting this guy for? Not wearing PINK?
Ahhhhh...... good to see you, Jim!
Thanks for the updates
Thank you all and God Bless You!
We know about the media. they are right now trying to figure out what figure to settle on as a lie they can get away with so far as pro troops pro Bush numbers are concerned. LOL It's kind of amusing to watch, even if infuriating.
Thank you again!
Not sure Burbank....Just putting in the pictures as I find them. Maybe someone who was there in Crawford Knows.
yeah, i'd like to know what he did also.
