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.

Most welcome!! We intend to help the Crawford economy as much as possible, help defray the cost of the lefties being there.
This is the home of our President!!! They show no respect at all, in fact only disrespect, for our country, our President, OR our troops! which is why we are there to begin with!!
Makes you teary eyed to read how well it's going, and wishing you could be there!

Here is what I just sent them...
While sitting here watching your channel all I see is
50 minutes of Katrina,5 mins of Aruba, 1.5 mins of
what is going on in Crawford, then commercials.
We have 3000+ people on the ground in Crawford to
support our Troops and rebutt cindy sheehan's lies.
Here are some links to what is going on in Crawford
right now. We here in Texas know this and the rest of
the Country/World AND OUR TROOPS need to know also.

I just emailed;
Viewerservice@foxnews.com
and implored them to support the troops by showing more of the patriots' rally.
Please....everyone here do the same.
Take a minute for our military.

unless there IS violence, this won't get any real media coverage at all. They'll go wall to wall with the hurricane and act give Crawford a 30sec voice-over at best. Yes and after the supporters leave and cindy begins her journey to Washington, there will be wall to wall coverage again. They don't want us to see anything positive for the president and if they covered any of today, they would definitely have to include troop/president supporters, so minus any violence, I don't expect to hear too much.

Did any of the planners ask a GWB neighbor if the pro Bush camp can gather at their place? The closest neighbor the Secret Service would allow that is and if the answer from the neighbor is no I'm sure the right amount of benjamins would do the trick.

Welcome to FR. My almost 20 yr old daughter is at TAMU, Class 08. This is a GREAT Republican message board. I'd be in Crawford today, but I am on call with the Texas Army National Guard.
