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.
Freep this poll. Ping everybody.

I down loaded the clip to my hard disk and played it on real player and it was as clear as bell
What I do not understand is how, exactly, a person can pull down and destroy signs from "THAT FAR AWAY.' What, did they use remotely controlled robots like a bomb squad?
The second thing I don't understand is what gives people the right to tear up another person's signs because they don't like the content.
Apologies for posting this photo I have asked the mods to remove - did not see the sign sincere apologies
Sorry about posting this have asked the mods to remove did not see the sign it was off my screen because of the large size of the photo - so sorry
LOL. What a mental picture to wake up to.
On the subject of Fox coverage, I just watched a segment on Fox and Friends this morning in which the anchors discussed the Crawford rally and seemed to give more emphasis to the counter-protest. Adam Housely commented that he is also from Vacaville, CA (or from a town close to it), and that a friend of his recounted that after Cindy's first meeting with the president, a dinner was held for her in which she stated that while she was against the war, she thought the President was very understanding and sympathetic. When a different account came out later, Adam's friend and many others in the community grew suspicious of her. Julian called her change of opinion a "flip-flop."
I wish these polls would have an anti-Bush category, if they include a pro-Bush category
or
Support Victory
Support Surrender
In my dreams, right!!!
Morning update:
The Bush supporters 47%
The anti-war protesters 46%
Neither 7%
Total Votes: 110,375
Lemme guess, a homosexual couple will be tying the knot.

After my mistake in posting her photo did not see the sign on the right it was off my screen because of the large sign I also reported the abuse and asked for my 2 posts to her to be removed - once again apologies to all I hope by the time I get to the end of this thread they are removed.
