LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

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.

I'm still smarting from the reaction to my first and only vanity a couple of years ago. I did everything wrong and everyone saw fit to correct me. I think I qualify per the "a$$-chewin'" rule.

Can we get some purple ink for the fingers of our 3000+ and have them all converge on the little camp in question, fingers raised in support of our troops, and the people of Iraq?

Which US GOP Senators are went to Crawford?
They had the time off work and could well afford to buy airline tickets.

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

I'll bet Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane are supplying funds and
morale support for the left.

We need to make an example of these 2 traitors from the 60's.

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

Spineless US Senate would rather protect Hanoi Kerry
than deal with the anti war crowd.

It's time to support our troops and ignore the jelly fish in the US Senate!

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.

I'd like to say the same, but can't (remember, that is).
Made up a little game back then when trying to learn some basic HTML - type a line of code that worked, have a shot of tequila.
Outcome was that I remembered a bunch of the stuff that goes inside the brackets, but not much of what they were pointing at !

It is so bizarre.

When I called Fox and left a message, among other things I said "I would have thought the story was more than three thousand Pro-troops protestors descending on Crawford, not yet another quote from Cindy Sheehan."

LOL! Only Third Level Freepers can access FR TV :-D


Wait till you get to the Forth level, you get a pair of
Rovegoggles that allow you to manipulate liberals as they
appear on TV, make them pick their noses, and say stupid
things. One of the benefits of Freeperdom.
