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.
Anyone remember the "anti-war" protests during the Viet Nam War that gave so much aid and comfort to the enemy and dissed our troops?Looking at some of the aging hippies hanging around Camp Casey in Crawford, it is apparent they didn't learn their lesson from the 'Nam years. It's about time someone gave 'em all a good whacking!
LOL...I hope you didn't think I believed that garbage, I was just showing what the DUmmies are being told. Cindy was on one of their live radio feeds earlier telling her fans that she had heard our side was expecting about 200. You should have seen all the bouncing smilies on that one. LOL
Any one of the three sites probably can't hold the total, I suspect.
LOL! I'll go to the Fox Freep. I hope the morning crew comes out. I like Brian. LOL! I would enjoy speaking with him. ;)
Thanks, there's one of them.
FOX just covered the counter protest, big time!
Kasich's lead story tonight is gonna be a missing Ohio model. That sounds HUGH and SERIES!
At least, we will get them in front of the public eye and tens of thousands will see them here...and then millions will see them as those people netwrok themselves and talk radio get a hold of them
Your kidding... No other place on the planet is as good as FR in coverage of what matters here in America, and a good part of the world!
so i hear cindy is going to target tom delay next. i want her to do this, people will stop seeing her as a "grieving mother" who just wanted to meet with bush...they'll see her as a political shill.
I hope you're right...I'm assuming that you mean the 2nd of September? I doubt if I get one......but if you have an extra to purchase, could I?
How many times now have you been told this? :o)
Thanks for letting me know--I have wondered.
If you look at the photos in post 901 you'll see the bottom one as the backdrop for the stage...
I didn't capture any of your signs in my snapshots. I'll tape it next.
Darn, GOOD work, Man!!
Greg Kelly seemed as if he was being FORCED to report. Right as the camera leaves him he has this disgusted look on his face, like "why am I even here?"
Whoops...make that post 969...duh!
That marine guy in the red USMC t-shirt and John Deer cap's name is Ray something. Apparently he was kicked out of the corps in Iraq for 'manhandling' the local 'boys'. LGF had the story earlier this week. He's the kind of guy gets himself kicked out over there, then takes his grudge out here this way and in bullying her detractors at the protest. He's a class A-1 jerk! NRO's 'The Buzz's' Eric Pfeiffer had a picture on his blog this week of this Ray guy pushing a video-cameraman around 'because he was standing in the crosses' when the day before EVERYONE had been milling around amongst the crosses when Cindy came back from CA. He's one of these self-important losers you get at these things. A MAROON of the first water!
Lol! Do you think he'll have his "beebers set to stune"?
