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.
I wrote them. Thanks for the easy link. Hope this gets good coverage today.
I'm a HUGE supporter of the Crawford FReep ..I wish I could be there. It's very important and wonderful that there's so much good support there, and that the message of the patriots and freedom lovers gets out to counter the MSM and the Witch in the Ditch's mis-impressions out there.
However, at this moment, the people in the strike area of the storm, with the many hours it will take to prep or make plans .. NEED TO KNOW NOW AND EVACUATE this area, and it's vital that the message gets repeated frequently, as more National Hurricane Center info comes in. EVERY MINUTE COUNTS at this point. I'm worried that they waited too long to start the process. We're talking about the credible belief of the strong likelihood of Cat. 3-5 storm and winds of 130mph+.
If Ivan had not missed New Orleans, it's estimated that 40-60,000 would have perished.
Disclosure: spoken as one who lost it all in Hurricane Andrew.
Let Basil know that there is very few to none coverage of the event. Tell her to pass it on to all the folk there! They need to know the MSM has blackout the Rally!
I am getting pretty upset at the lack of coverage for this! If you know of another outlet for live news for the rally, please let me know!
Thanks for the phone #.
I've been looking for it on the website, without success.
I thought Greg Kelly was one of the embedded reporters in Iraq?
[[She says there about about 3,000 folks there and about 40 Gold Star Families that will be going over to Camp Casey around 4pm Texas time to take down crosses of their loved ones]]
Time to show these leftist traitors that we have had enough of them bashing our great country and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Oooorahhhh....get some!

That's fine, what about the puppies story, the 57 year old murder case, and other fluff they're showing?
I called FoxNews but only got a recording. I left a message that I was more than disappointed in the way they were ignoring the Pro-Troop Rally in Crawford while covering the Cindy Anti-war group for more than two weeks.
I asked FOX to please not be part of the Pravda Journalism in this country, only showing one political side of every issue.
Do I remember????? You'd better believe it! Who could forget that FReep!! This one is just as important. In fact, this one is just the beginning. Sheehan and her handlers will be having to "caravan" through a lot of red states full of FReepers as they follow President Bush back to D.C. after his vacation. And we don't play "defense". Hahahaha
You have freepmail
Thanks for the screen captures!
Fox, GET ON WITH REAL NEWS!!!!
bttt
There was a time when all I would watch is cable news. Then it became nothing but Fox News. Then it was Fox News with the sound off. Of late, the TV has been off for quite a while now.
I have no way to contact her right now that is why I asked for her phone#
TXBubba where are you????
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP IT !!!
My God, if I wanted to see "it" and her ass ociates I would turn off the puter and turn on TV, and yes that includes FNC.
Also, see post #96 - Greg Kelly is worthless!
