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.
Watching five minutes of FOX's weekend morning show will prove it :)
Well, we'll wait on your pics, then. Diana already posted some on the Canteen. Glad y'all had fun! I was thinking about y'all a lot this whole day.
I agree glad rain held off until now
:-)
Thanks, Snugs :)
I never took Greg to be anything but a paid newscaster .. never saw any hint of conservative in him. He's not scripted when he's at a live event .. unless he was given orders .. he should've given the supporters of HIS military and HIS CIC a true picture of their efforts.
What a fabulous turnout!!!
We just git home ~ I'm going to have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat then I'll see what kind of pics my hubby managed to get ~
It was great to finally meet some of y'all face to face!!
Thanks for the info good evening
thanks friend, would have missed them!
Indeed I think I did a double post a few minutes ago
Yea well I tear up a protesters sign and the media hover in so close no one else can get a pic and the MSM hasn't posted anything yet.
You just have to look at this from the perspective that the press (including FOX) is irrelevant. Think that rally would have been co-ordinated, communicated and attended IF they actually mattered? Nope. Yet ordinary decent hard working Patriotic and many God fearing men and women showed up and the 'bought and paid rent a protestors' were shamed by not being able to rummage anywhere NEAR the numbers of the good guys. Nor can they stop this information from being disseminated. Nor can anyone forget, the people in D.C. know the TRUTH. They may not always stand up for Truth, but they KNOW which people were authentic and which which were bought. They know the real numbers. And I'm telling you, the MSM, Dems and people like Hagel aren't feeling too good right now with the knowledge MORE people are on the side of this President, troops and war than against it. THIS rally meant more than any of those bogus polls they've been floating around.
feel proud of those heros that stood to defend heros, it's the MSM that is being shamed right now as they try to ignor, spin and lie about what happened. It doesn't change it DID happen and it represents a sizeable majority of this country that ain't going to reward anyone that cuts and runs.
However, want to do something? Take a flag and sign and stand on a street corner. Organize more parades and rallies in your town. If you live near where Cindy's tour is going to pass on the way to d.C., arrange to freep her on her stops.
WE, the PEOPLE, are more important than the press and it was proven today.
Powerful photo
I'm so glad you got to go this time. Can't wait to see your pictures!
I agree.
I have never wanted "fair and balanced" from any network.
I just wanted the unvarnished truth -- NOT THEIR AGENDA.
BTW .. wasn't it reported that Joanie was stay in tent?
Because this site says she is staying in a trailer

Folk singer Joan Baez arrived here about an hour ago and is staying in a trailer, awaiting the performance of a concert later this evening. She gave a short press conference upon her arrival.
Gibson, brit and hannity are usually reliable. Those are the people to watch Monday.
I don't even think she's wrong so much as she is unstable. Not all there in the head.
But those that are mentally stable, yeah, the idea of being wrong just isn't something they can grasp. Perfectly agree with you.
