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.

Damn bias coverage from Greg Kelly. He wouldn't give out the numbers for our side and said that we're funded by Move America Forward just like their side funded by moveon.org....Yeah, if I were Greg Kelly I wouldn't think about being an embed again.

Is she being censored?? ROFL..give me a break..but I have noticed that when people climb on her, she develops the "grieving mother" look..like, "why are these people picking on me"??..drives me nuts..guerilla warfare tactics..jump up, fire a shot, dive for cover then claim you didn't do a thing...

Someone suggested in an earlier post that FR set up a news television station for conservatives. Sounds like a good idea. Where can we find someone with the deep pockets to start such a winning operation.
Get in touch with Al Franken, see if they can roll another non-profit for kids. j/k

While Cindy was checking on her mother, she also had her hair colored and her teeth whitened. Probably picked up a bit of a wardrobe as well. Now she needs to have some voice lessons!

"The only reason George Bush wants our soldiers killed over there is because so many have already been killed."
Sounds like she got her script all fuddled up and couldn't remember her lines! Bawhahahahha...I bet whoever is writing her talking points must be having a hissy fit!

Thousands of demonstrators turned out to rally against the war or to support the war. REUTERS/Jeff Mitchell Did clinton write this?
Thousands turned out to support our Troops and our CIC.

I'd love to be the White House mouse in the corner when President Bush hears what she said. This woman doesn't have both oars in the water. I don't think she even has ONE oar in the water. It is highly possible that she's not even in the boat!

He has a fondness for the past president and a commitment towards the next woman president. That is all that needs to be said.

ok..callous question here, but has it been confirmed she actually had a stroke or was that an excuse to get her back so she could get worked on for the camera??

That picture under the tent is 500 loonies at the most. The 2000 true Americans are spread out all over Crawford.
