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.
Me too! The lack of coverage for our side is making me absolutely furious!
Crap, just got a mailer deamon returning my email to fox news. What the heck?
Basil says they will try to head over to the cross-removal at 4 and get you folks some pictures.

excellent. I cannot wait to see those pix. i will be posting them (with basil's permission) on my blog. those pix should impact a lot.
my email was retunred.. access denied was reason.
I am off for afternoon/evening.. hold down the Fort Fellow FREepers.
Disgusting!!! And very revealing!!!
CNN just showed old footage, then went to CNN presents. The news coverage sucks.
might mean their mailbox, or the one you used, is full.
Gotta run out for a bit, can't wait to get back and see if there are any more updates. This is awesome!!
THose 3,000 start marching up the road towards Camp Kooky and I guarantee media coverage.
CNN will now go from hurricane coverage to an hour long taped Bush Bash.
Dolly, you probably had a space between FoxNews. That's your issue.
He could use the moment to be presidential and speak about preparations in New Orleans. That way, he can honor the crowd with an appearance, say a few words of support for the troops, and then discuss federal actions being taken for the upcoming hurricane.
Everyone wins!

If that were to happen. I hope it happens.
Please tell me that's Photoshopped!! Eeeek!!
Only old movies and ballgames from now on, w/FR for news.
I understand that Greg Kelly is a Democrat and liberal.
Just sent this to Paige Hopkins:
I am very disappointed Fox News is not providing more (and live) coverage of the Support-the-troops rally in Crawford. I would expect CNN, MSNBC and others to ignore this event but hope Fox maintains the fair and balanced reporting, and gives them as much coverage as they have given Sheehan and the anti-war crowd.
Actually, "disappointment" is an understatement...
Was just about to post that. CNN now reporting some hackjob Blame Bush for all intelligence failures even pre-2001. What the hell is this???? No mention of Able Danger at all!?
