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.
Beating up on the "UN" import as fun too.
Best regards and BUMP BTTT.
Thank you so much for those wishes. God's richest blessings to you and yours.

Which is just another way of saying ... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"... or ... "Love your neighbor as yourself"
And this thread offers the reasons why.
