ACTION REPORT: Klamath Convoy to Sawgrass Rebellion in Saginaw Texas
Eyewitness | 10/12/02 | Jeff Head

Posted on 10/12/2002 9:33:34 PM PDT by 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.

LOL!

Well, I am in Texas helping a brother who has what the doctor had called terminal cancer. Lymphoma. I am running his small business for him while he is in the hospital undergoing treatment. He's fighting it and doing fairly well given the circumstances. We are very hopeful that with his strength, and a lot pf prayer and faith in God, that he will beat it. I was down here earlier this summer and have now been back about 4 weeks.

At the same time, I am working on the books at night. Volume III is about 25% done for the first draft. Into Chapter Three now and about 135 pages.

Yesterday was a good opportunity to hook up ith some friends who are doing yeoman's work in the fight for property rights without having to be away too much from helping my brother.

I am hoping to have the initial draft of Volume III done now by the end of November or early December. We'll see.

FRegards.

Gosh Jeff, everywhere I go or get active you're right there! Whether it's 2A, land rights or whatever.

I have a notepad with ping lists for various topics. I keep having to cut and paste you to different ones, I can barely keep up with you. I just cut and pasted you from my "2A" to my "land rights" list.

I'm hoping to meet you soon so I can move you to my "personal friends" list.

God bless you and prayers for your bro.

Thanks for those kind words. The more who become involved all over, the better for our nation and liberty.

My involvement at Klamath had me become personal friends of some of these folks on the convoy.

BUMP

Thanks for the after action report. Why is it Jeff Head always seems to be where the action is? Rhetorical question.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Our prayers go out for him and the whole family. I'm sure he is grateful for a brother's support.

In order to fully appreciate the skill and strength necessary to perform the feat of knocking a hole through automobile sheet metal with a blunt instrument, it would be important to know the make, model, and year of said automobile. I'm betting it was not pre-1960 but if so I'm even more impressed.

This convoy has had stops in several places in California, in Utah, New Mexico, several places in Texas (including Lubbock and Austin) and now in Saginaw which happend to be about 50 miles from here I have been staying helping my brother. Conservative here on FR helped set it up and jhe and his wife and son were there too. In fact, they continued on with the convoy to Florida, God bless them.

I took the time to drive down and see them.

I believe they will be in Jackson, MS on Monday and then Montgomery, AL on Tuesday and then on into Florida.

I would encourage anyone along that path to make the the time to catch up oth them.

It as a lot of fun and a real good feeling.

The cars were small ... looked like foreign (Nisaan maybe), maybe lat 80's.

Best regards.

Thank you SO much for those prayers. Faith is a keystone to life, as individuals and as nations. We appreciate beyond words every bit of faith and every prayer offered on behalf on my brother.

Thank you for that outstanding compliment. But to be sure, while I love the U.S. Marines and have friends and relatives who were and are (and always will be) U.S. Marines ... I have never served in the Marines myself.

Still, nonetheless ... Semper Fi!
