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.

The neo nazis will be made to sound like a right wing group who are just there, obviously supporting the Bush nazis.

CNN just reporting on the event ... characterizing it as two groups across the street from each, being kept apart by the police,CNN is avoiding the 3,000+ by the Crawford stadium then.

That's why I wish Tony Snow was on the air this morning, he would pay attention faster. Al was on F&F this AM, maybe he changed his mind. Which side are the Neo Nazi's on, LOL?

I am so glad this messageboard is so active. I am just dying because I didn't go to Crawford. I hope that everyone will avoid confrontation of any kind with the Cindy Side so we can show them that we're able to rise above their hatred and vitriole.
I think that, as compassionate conservatives, We should get a giant roll of tin foil and make them some hats. Its obvious that they have been getting way too much sun.
