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.

WHAT! That is pretty icky! Following school children home....to request bathroom and shower privileges in private homes? Wonder how Ms. Nugent knows this? If true..it is arrogant and wrongful and maybe even scary for the children, especially if mom and dad were not home.

They know about showers?!!! Who knew?!!! Can't wait till they discover soap!

They just had Shemane Nugent on FNC a few mins ago and are fixing to have another report in a few minutes on FNC.

Shemane was talking about the leftys following the local kids home from school bus stops and asking to use the bathroom/shower at their homes, sending threating E-mails to local bussiness owners that support our Troops and even a bomb threat against the Yellow Rose a local bussiness that supports Gary Qualls.

Thanks

But they didn't for the first several weeks and nothing was done to them. I never knew it was okay to just set up camp on public land for weeks on end. I'll have to remember this if I'm ever homeless. Have they moved the "crosses" to their new home? Plus we heard from Ted Nugent's wife that children were being harrassed from the Ditch Witch crowd.

3,000 and climbing?


This would be where Cindy looks at Code Pinko and says, "looks like we're surrounded" and they reply, "What do you mean we, Cindy?" as they climb into their transport and GTFO before sumpin' bad happen to 'em.

THREE THOUSAND AND COUNTING!!!!!

Flashback to the first freeper event in DC a long time ago.

Veteran freepers, do you remember the emotions we felt at seeing the huge crowd of Freepers at the March for Justice?

I've got that old feeling again right now.

Is all Katrina on Fox News! However, New Orleans may be in big trouble, so I can't slam them too much.

Sounds like another big day for the Tyrannosaurus Main Stream Media.
That's is all we have seen for two weeks is that twit Cindy Sheehan and now that we hear from America, well we hear, nothing.

I have ribbons around for my Nephew in Iraq. I'm so proud of him. I know he doe NOT want to cut and run.

Us Aunts and Moms are allowed to want our precious ones to be safe but still respect that our troops are dedicated to finishing the mission and honor their service to their country.

God Bless Our Troops
