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.

Well, actually, simply going to a Freep even can get you outed, too. By friendly fire even!

I'm not knocking hocndoc, but when connecting public ID's with pix, all it takes is for someone to catch your real name at an event and you're outed to the entire moonbat community.
Really, there's no way to "actively lurk" for the conservative side. It's ok to hawk your image at Camp Casey, because there will be no retribution....just like putting a "No blood for Oil" bumper sticker on your car can be done without fear. But put a "W 1" sticker or pro-conservative bumper sticker on your car, and be prepared to get keyed! Same with these counter-protests. The moonbats will stalk you, to be sure. So Freep carefully!
Sorry for the multiple posting... my computer is acting up. Will reboot and be back.

***Not really, their timing and message was way wrong,...***

Protest Warrior signs were designed to infiltrate anti-US rallies. They really do not work in a crowd of positive pro-troops and pro-CIC posters.
I know their hearts are in the right place. But they must consider the "visuals."
I am going to burn it to DVD for sure. How to distribute it, I don't know. But Diva Betsy Ross had a fantastic idea.
DVDs are easy to duplicate, and inexpensive. She wants to send copies to the troops.
I can't think of a more excellent idea!
kcvl, I have admired your carefully researched posts on many threads. It is appalling what lies beneath the surface, and I applaud your willingness to dig for facts and share what you have learned.
In this particular post, I'm wondering where you sourced the info?
Thank you so much, and keep up the excellent fact-finding.
Sleep well snugs.

You heard right. But knowing what side he was on, I didn't bother to hear what he said.
Freepers: Please call in at that time, supporting the troops and president. Also, let them know how we feel about them not covering this event today, since they're always covering protest against the president.

We just can't thank any of them adequately. Bless them Lord.
Thank you snugs. If I can't do it tonight I'll try to get my son to fix it for me.
Sorry if I made a mistake about Johns---I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention...which is not good...
I should have, thanks for letting me know...
I drove across Texas from Texarkana to El Paso in a day...a whole day...a looong, whole day. I swear, if I ever have to make that trip again, I will cut through the north panhandle, just for variety.
"The founder of Move America Forward, Howard Kaloogian, accused Cindy Sheehan, the sponsor of the anti-war protest, of encouraging the very insurgency in Iraq that killed her son.
"The terrorists that are watching Cindy Sheehan's protest believe that this is something that might topple the current administration." Kaloogian said. "And I have a question that I want the media to begin asking Cindy Sheehan: How many more American soldiers are going to die because you are giving hope and encouragement to our enemies?"

Kaloogian is right!
Sheesh -- hasn't California fallen into the Pacific yet?
