LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

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 agree the hurricane should be first coverage, but balance it out properly with meaningful reporting, now reporting on Aruba. The arrest of Kalpoe brothers, nothing on the support the troops rally, where 3000+ people have gathered.

Thank you for posting that link.

Sheehan, meanwhile, told NBC that she plans a “day of remembrance” Saturday to honor soldiers who have died in Iraq.

Freepers and those in Waco today, should know better than to join in the NCC/WCC "minions" in prayers of soldiers, the left could careless about. I hope they do. I hope Freepers are holding their own service.

That's more than we're getting from Fox News. Maybe someone like Sean Hannity can contact the newsroom at Fox!

His father is NYC police commissioner and seems to be a really nice guy, who's tough on crime.

: ). Thanks.

Perhaps the media was caught off guard. They may be as stunned at this moment as they were the day of the election.

FOX radio news mentioned the 3,000 around noon today. Boy was I happy to hear that! But where are the screen shots of our people? Even with their lefty bias, the media can't ignore 3,000 counterprotesters, not when they've spent a month hyping one protester and her handful of friends. Have the 3,000 not congregated in one spot yet?

Email to Cable and news networks.

Dear New Department

Why are you not giving good coverage of the pro war rally, support Bush people at Crawford. Dang you people are biased. You would rather put all your eggs in the Moon Bats basket of hate America first.

Absolutely in agrement.

BTW, the oil rigs are shutting down in the storm path already. Suggestions I've heard recommend gassing up this weekend in advance of the ever more rising prices in the next couple of days, if not sooner.
