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.
Polticial Opportunity. Where are Hillary, Kennedy, Dean, Boxcar and Turbin?Barney the Franks should be there. Also, the Reverand Jackson. The Left-wing Kook Generals need to show their faces. They shoot their mouths off about everything else! It is time for those Dems. to take a stand for or against Kooky Cindy.
Oh--where can I get one of those "I Hate Hippies" shirts? :)
Thanks, Keith, but I suspect my server just wasn't going to go to that site. Another Freeper gave me what I think is a different URL and I saw the clip just fine. FINALLY!
These pictures being in England are the nearest I can get to this and they are much appreciated
KABC 7 Los Angeles showed the PROWAR crowd and said 7000.
I gave up FOX sometime ago myself. In fact, I got all my election coverage right here on FR.
The Advertisers may be telling them to back off. They can make more money on the Hurricane.

Excellent point. More people need to be aware of this!
My son gave me a SEAL hat that says:
"It's okay to hate liberals."
Believe me, most Texas LEOs know the law quite well. Other than a few politically appointed big city Chiefs, they mostly support it. They know that they are much more danger from non licensed liberals than from folks with CHLs. After all, all of us have passed an FBI background check, supplemented by the Texas DPS.
If anything it should have made the Jihadie supporters nervous. They couldn't attack our folks with impunity. In the event, they decided not to try.
Thanks. It is so good to see that good people are no longer intimidated by left wing socialist moonbats.
I have gotten misty eyed looking at all the posts and pictures in this thread.
I deeply hope that our men and women overseas are aware of how much, and how many, *real* people in this country support them and are truly grateful for their sacrifices.
