War protestors release balloons with notes inside (Sheehan)
KCEN ^ | 08/08/2006

Posted on 08/09/2006 6:04:41 AM PDT by LA Woman3

Since anti-war protestors outside President Bush's Crawford Ranch have been unsuccessful in their attempts to talk directly with the president, today they wrote letters to him, placed the notes inside helium-filled balloons and released them.

They hope the balloons will end up on the president's property, and he will read the notes.

I am hesitant to look at the Cindy blog, lol, I dont want my computer to freeze up!
Does she even HAVE a goal in mind, or is she just the willing puppet of the Doomierats and the MSM?
IMHO, she is doing the conservatives a favor.
And killing the DUmmies.

Absolutely!

Are they out of their minds?!

Haven't they ever heard "99 Red Balloons"???



Nena - 99 Red Balloons Lyrics

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message
"Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here
From somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision Street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

[Instrumental Interlude]

99 Knights of the airway
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by

As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

Beth, that is so sad. But I am not suprised in the least bit.
Are there any real structures on the property? Or are the *protestors* living in a tent?
I figured that there was some busing involved....

And stalking is what it boils down to. I wonder how much longer the locals are going to tolerate the nonsense in Crawford??

Source's close to the witch in the ditch said she is staying at an undisclosed place..Which means a very nice cooled hotel.

As soon as the press leaves, the witch does too. With Soros money behind her, you can be damn sure she isn't sleeping in a tent!

Hey - thank you! I thought I'd remember the balloons can cause serious injury or death for animals and birds, not that I expect Cindy's "culture of death" to include animals.

Have the sherriff cite them for littering and assign them to 200 hours comm service picking up balloons and trash off the roads.

No there are no structures just a tent the last time I went by there.Now they have portia potties..more than likely there are more tents since I have been there last week.I saw a man out there that had just cut a big tree down..I guess to make room for the drunks..What I can't figure is,where is PETA..After all they are taking down a little squirrels home

I just worry about the President..he has all sorts of security but with this group he has no chance to leave his ranch to go out and talk to the people around here..and he did do that before..

I will take my camera with me today and try and get pictures of the group..It is a ways away from the road so I doubt I can get anything.And I would probably get shot if I tried to go up to the fools..maybe I could say I was from the freerepublic press..LOL!!
