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.
Wow what a lovely lot of photos
Glad you made it home safely.
Now if the lefties just get washed off/out it will be a good finish to the day.
What?? No pic of me tearing sign to shredds??LOL
I could not believe that segment especially as it appears that news is nearly 2 months old
Thank you very much W04Man !!!!!!
Have heard you on the news first up here in Alaska on ABC , FOX and even CNN . You all kicked the commie rats asses......
Don't worry. The message was received by those unpatriotic louts. THEY KNOW!
yup.
I prefer pro Bush or patriotic myself I agree Lawgirl pro war is not correct
Beautiful flag....do you know who made it?

Ha! I suspect many of these hippies haven't been touched by water in years :)
I love the "Footprint of the American Chicken" sign! LOL The pictures are all terrific! Great crowd shots!
That appeared to be a ProtestWarrior sign being torn apart. It looks like someone made a mistake out of ignorance of ProtestWarrior's subtle use of irony in their signs.
Most kind of you to reply so fast! I appreciate that. I have to admit that I'm probably one of the younger people on here (thank my brother, haha) but I like to think I know something once in a while. I was just a little confused.
And man, today was nuts!
Great, Thanks! I like to make graphic tables and these pictures really make a statement. :)

CRAWFORD, Texas -- Several thousand people descended on President Bush's adopted hometown Saturday, most in a cross-country caravan for a pro-Bush rally and others to support an anti-war demonstration led by grieving mother Cindy Sheehan.
Bush supporters gathered for an event marking the culmination of the "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" tour, which started last week in California. The crowd of about 1,500 chanted, "Cindy, go home!"
"You are giving hope and encouragement to the enemies of America," said former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, a Republican who co-founded the group that coordinated the rally.
