ACTION REPORT: Klamath Convoy to Sawgrass Rebellion in Saginaw Texas

Eyewitness | 10/12/02 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

I was there today in Saginaw, Texas to meet the Klamath Falls convoy to the Sawgrass Rebellion. Rocky (Issaquahking), Bill Ramson and others whom I had come to know last year in Klamath Falls, Oregon were there with the convoy.

There was a great parade. I rode with the bucket (from Klamath Bucket Brigade) for a while and the shovel (from Jarbidge Shovel Brigade) for a while, but mostly walked along side engaging the people watching the parade and asking them to come to the fair to hear the speeches or look up the events on the internet (Klamath Falls and Jarbidge Nevada).

The Fair was also good. We had several speakers and people from the fair stopping and listening. We had a former U.S. Army Colonel address issues from the Rio Grande Valley, the head of the Texas Chapter of Citizens for a Sound Economy, a senior fellow from the Policy Institute on Property RIghts and Bill Ramson speak. They all did extrordinarily well.

One young man from Rome, TX came up and read what we had there and indicated he came to the fair, with his family (wife and child), to specifically see the Bucket Brigade and wish it the best. He said he had formed, with friends, a Constitutional Society in Rome to educate people on how their rights are getting trampled and help people get involved. As we were speaking he indicated he had read about Klamath on a site by some fellow named Jeff Head, LOL!

I told him I heard that that site was pretty good too, but that there were better site around and asked if he would get onto FR sometime.

Bill Ames (Consertvative) was there with his wife and son and he is quite the firebrand! They joined up with the convoy and ent on to points east. I believe their next stop is in Jackson, MS on Monday.

One other funny thing. We had a Boy Scout group across from us with two cars, sledge hammers and an offer for three hits for one dollar. I went over and told them if they would spray paint a big UN on the side of the car (for the United Nations) that I would beat the living you-know-what out of it. They did ... and I did. Got a lot of cheers from all around.

Thought some folks might be interested in this action report. Lots of good conversations. Lots of well wishes and support for what happened last year in Oregon and the year before in Nevada ... and the fight in Florida.

Very well done, FReeper! Thank you for pinging me to your report!

[Jeff Head]

No problem, happy to do so.

The more who stand, the quicker we win our country back.

" . . . .Got a lot of cheers from all around."

hahahahahaha!. That was a stroke of genius, Jeff. Here's another cheer! YaaaaaaY! I can just picture that.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks East ... it was fun.

Best regards.

Thanks for the report Jeff.
Sounds like you guys are having fun.

I got to have coffee with Bill Ransom last year in Merril OR (near Klamath Falls), and I was very impressed with him.
He is down to earth and intelligent. I think that he is a good spokesman for property rights and sensible natural resource management.

Come to think of it, so are you Jeff.
Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for the report--and I'm glad to hear that people were cheering! I suspect you've refined a profitable fundraiser for many a group now :)

LO really L!

Sounds like it was a great event!

[EverOnward]

Godspeed.

Bill is a good man. He was out on a consruction job when the headgate stand got started in July of 2001, but as soon as he got back (late-July or early-August) he jumped in ith both feet and has been going strong ever since.

They are on their way through Louisiana today and then Mississippi tomorrow.

Hope things are well with you and yours my friend.

[Jeff Head]

You are welcome. I wish every such activity (sledge hammering wrecked cars) included the opportunity to "beat up" on the UN.

We need the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US ASAP IMHO.

[Jeff Head]

... and a BIG BUMP bck.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks my friend. We are doing well with God's Grace.

Glad I could hook up with that convoy even if I couldn't continue on with them.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you, nd His blessings to you and yours as well.

It was a good day in Saginaw, TX yesterday.
