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.
Here's a sheriff yelling at one of the Code Pinky people to stay on her side of the road. I saw one person getting cuffed on the news today, but it was a protester!
BTW, it wasn't her I saw on tv, although from the looks of this pic, she might have been cuffed and gagged before the day was through...
Because it all comes down to money----Soros money.
And it doesn't hurt to have Fenton PR promoting her either.
No arrests that I know of.
Everything is still cool, and yes the sign you mentioned is the one that ended up in the garbage thanks to our quick-reading allies, the Bikers.
C-Span is having an OPEN LINE segment tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM to 7:45 and again 9:15 AM to 9:30.

I was able to upload some of my photos, but I seem to be incapable of making them appear here. THe link is: http://photobucket.com/albums/a362/suzyque1023/?action=view¤t=100_0120.jpg
done
I'm more concerned no Freepers/pro-Bush supporters beat up any Protest Warriors....were they like "oh, crap...sorry man" after they realized what they did destroying the sign??
While there are times that FR scoops the media, most of what is posted here comes from MSM. Remember, they watch so you don't have to.
Please take a minute to come over to this thread & vote...then ping your friends:
POLL on Crawford Demonstrations....Which side do you support?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1472144/posts?page=32#32
Just as the Gold Star families were to head out, word was passed to the crowd that the crosses had been removed. Wouldn't want a bunch of women that lost their sons or daughters to have a minute in the media, now would they?
No injuries on our side. (Either our side.)
We're Conservatives! Come on, now.
Wrong website, troll.
Wrong website, troll.
To all those that couldnt make the rally today, Please rally on CSPAN
Okay.

Yes, but as you can see in my photos taken after the announcement that the crosses had been removed, they definately had not. Somebody wasn't being honest.

Wonderful post and couldn't agree more.
Right now this is spreading like a wildfire to our troops in harm's way giving a huge morale boost. It's spreading through the nation's capitol to the DEMS and the RINO's and the rest. It's spreading to the terrorists that despite the MSM accounting they have NOT broken this nation's will yet.
And for the MSM? They can choke on the Pride of real American Patriots. We don't need them. Cover it or not word will get out and support the troop and support our President rallies will continue and when elections come they'll be turned OFF, and nuMedia will bring the people the facts. They can affect moods but the last elections have shown they can no longer affect elections if we don't will it.
The People in Crawford today are American Heros honoring American Heros. And I love them all.
