LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

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.

Amazing isn't it. She said they would follow them to see who was latch key kids and then ask. Said she was told this by residents of Crawford. Wonder why this hasn't been brought to our attention before.

I bet that was the fastest two weeks in your life, wasn't it?

Now that I know she is on her way back, I will start my heavy duty prayers for her!

How is your other daughter enjoying "married life"?

To be honest, the DitchWitch Supporters have several acres of farm yard to camp on now...they are off the ditch. OUR True Americans are on the other side of the road and, I don't believe, have any permission to be on private property. We DO have permits for the big rally by the High School, per prior posts from Basil et al...so, if the man failed to follow a LEO's directions, then off to the big house!

Deborah Mathews reporting for The Iconoclast

1:00 p.m.

People are literally pouring in at Pirate Field, so the rally has been delayed to accomodate them. I'll report back shortly.

12:40 p.m.

The California caravan has now arrived and the rally is apparently beginning early. Melanie Morgan is onstage saying "this is what's going on, so lets's get going." I'll report back shortly.

The children should be warned if they are
harrassed, to shout "Stranger Danger!!"
and get these evil traitor ghouls arrested for
child molestation.

I hope that Fox News Cable has the timeline down....and understands that WE NEED THEM THERE....in force...in order to get the news of this support out to our troops EVERYWHERE, along with their families and heck, for our fellow American citizens as WELL!

I suppose we can forget MSNBC and CNN every telling the full story...and there is little hope that the major networks will...fenton communications runs them via the AP (associated press pool) ...they (FENTON COMMUNICATIONS ) deliever what stories go to the AP press corp via hennesey and some other go between)...fully edited and slanted to the left.

The big three networks do not care to research the full story anymore...they depend upon the special reporter(only) forum that Fenton runs.)
