From the website:
Fed Up Crawford Residents — (08/26/2005)
Saturday Crawford will swell to close to ten times it's normal size.
That crowd will include demonstrators, national media, security forces, and last but not least, people who make Crawford their home.
Most of the people we spoke to who live in Crawford area ready for this to be over. Thousands more demonstrators -- from both sides are coming Saturday, on top of the hundreds who are already in Crawford. Most of the residents we talked to Friday them told us they are tired of adjusting their lifestyles for demonstrators.
Crawford resident Pattie True says, "Like last weekend we could hear the music all the way up here and some of us have to work on the weekends.""
She also says Crawford is like one big family, but since the protestors arrived- there are many more unfamiliar faces. So she and her neighbors have started taking precautions to protect their families, like locking their doors that haven't been locked in years.
She did tell us that dealing with an overwhelming crowd of visitors may be the price she has to pay for being the president's neighbor.
War protestors have vigils and rallies scheduled throughout the day Saturday at both protest sites. Bush supporters also have a full day planned for Saturday starting at 11:00 in the morning.
Bush supporters and war protestors are expected to debate in downtown Crawford Saturday afternoon at 2:00.
Bush supporters and war protestors plan debate — (08/25/2005)
Supporters of President Bush and war protestors have agreed to a face-off.
More Bush supporters are expected to be in Crawford this weekend, just in time for a debate between the opposing camps.
During a press conference earlier today, Cindy Sheehan agreed to debate supporters of President Bush.
A group from San Diego called "You Don't Speak for Me Cindy" spent Thursday night in Amarillo. They are expected to be in Crawford for the debate Saturday.
The group already made a stop in Sheehan's hometown of Vacaville, California. They want to show that not all Gold Star Families feel the same way Sheehan does.
Gary Qually is the father of a soldier who was killed in Iraq, and he has headed up the Bush supporters camp in Crawford.
Sheehan agreed to the debate under one condition, she does not want the media to attend and she has not given a reason as to why yet.
Gary Qualls says he will still debate Sheehan even if the media is not there.
A time and a place for the debate has not been determined yet.
Sheehan is expected to remain in Crawford until the end of the month, when President Bush leaves his ranch. She is planning a bus caravan to follow the President back to Washington where she will continue her protest.
