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.

You suddenly noticed this? I'm surprised it took someone like you this long to figure out Greg Jarret is Liberal. I don't believe a word coming out of Cindy's camp either, but you got to admit, there are kookburgers on both ends of the political spectrum.
Like Bret Baier filling in for Geraldo last week, he seemed out of place, which he was. He nor Greg Kelly are anchormen, they're reporters.
BTTT!!!!!!!

You Don't Speak for Me,Cindy, Caravan Arrives in Crawford
He's echoing what many in Conservative circles have said for 3 weeks. Namely the Weekly Standard, Washington Times, National Review Online, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Lars Larson, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol. And in some form or capacity, General Richard Myers and Secretary Rumsfeld. They've all said essentially the same thing. The media is driving this "non-starter" (as Charles Krauthammer calls it) of a story.
Excellent pics Valerie!!
Me do please freep me when it is available
Remember the sampling that 46% in reality is much higher
Sorry meant to say 47% the 46% is lower because of biased sampling
