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.
Doesn't matter, it's a really terrible PR move for the left. When gieving people have to go and have their loved ones names removed from their filthy protest signs, America is going to cringe. The word on this will get out.
Okay, now we're talking. When you burn it to CD, I want to buy a copy.
This is wacked.

Yes Sir most of TX is L0L
The Hill country is very nice though. Crawford is just at the edge of hill country
My apologies
No problem. Wold you like to take our two Senators :-)
First off, it's not clear that it was a Pro Bush guy that wouldn't move off the road. Secondly, we, FR have an extremely good relationship with the local law. I think that was a county sherrif from the same department that was escort the Gold Star family members out to retrieve the crosses with their loved one's name on them.
FReep ground rules are to obey the instructions of law enforcement, even if you think they are wrong.
We need to hound all the media to ask this of her. Just as we all called FNC about the coverage, or lack or it, the same needs to be done for this question. I'm in.
Ted Nugent, like 1970.
giggle.
Must be hard for them to have them flying around everywhere and not set them on fire.

Isn't it interesting how the anti-US folks are feeling the heat and are now displaying American flags. And yet they continue to believe that their side is 'winning' mainstream American support. The Code Pinkos at Walter Reed last night also showed a fairly large American flag.
Wow! This sounds like an awesome event. I wish I could have made it this time. Was too busy keeping Austin weird today.
It is their belief that this war is "God's Punishment" against the US... Not sure why, I didn't hang around the site long enough to read the stuff.
Yes, she is going to get more of our soldiers killed, and if one of them was my son, I would stalk her to kingdom come, calling her the murderer she is.
BTTT for you. :-)
Thank you for your kind words. It has been a long day. ;*(
You aren't kidding!! Sending war protesters there is REALLY stupid our they are looking for trouble on purpose.
The main screen on AOL popped up and my heart did a leap...it was all about the protests groups in Crawford...with four of the five pictures (you click on 1-5) devoted to Pro-Bush supporters.
Their poll asks..which side do you support...and btw..their first picture that everyone sees who is a member of AOL is of a pro-Bush mom, a beautiful woman, kneeling by a cross with Casey Seehan's name on it....one hand reaching out to touch the cross...as she takes a moment to honor this young courageous American hero.
I was shocked and SO GLAD!
Back to the poll....47% SUPPORT our WAR ON TERROR AND OUR PRESIDENT!
46% do not
And the rest were undecided (that is the scariest result, imo)
this is old news...sorry...but I just got on and have over 2000 posts to read!!! And cannot WAIT!
You guys are great! Keep it up. AND you are making the news!
