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 believe the other group are white racist anti-semites .. against the "neo-cons" in this administration allegedly supporting Israel .. their estimate of the reason for the Iraq war. There was a thread about them last night.
Don't forget the Aruba Update and the Bee Attack!
This is good news...Cindy is already having to defend herself to the MSM about the neo-Nazi or white supremacist crowd that's coming to Crawford. This should be good (courtesy of lgf):

si vis pacem,para bellum. this is moving fast.
I e-mailed him, he used to be a Republican Congressman he's on TV now so I know he's there! LOL
Call FOX News Channel: 1-888-369-4762
Press # 7 to leave comments..........
Tell them to get 'fair & balanced' and cover the Support our Troops & the President Rally!
Most of the "REAL" men are in Iraq, along with my brother. He's on his second tour in Iraq. He was in the Gulf war too. He's a Marine reservist as well as our towns Chief of Police. He sure doesn't need this sh*t from the looney left.
Beeeutiful!
It was either this or go do some work. Had enough of that for one week.
The one we need to bombard with emails galore is Brit Hume!FOX needs to know who their supporters are! I'm sorry, but their lame coverage SPEAKS volumes. When MUTHER cindy camped out in Crawford, it was live feed! They didn't have to go to the cutting room and edit s***! Fox is walking on a fine line with me right now and I feel they betrayed the Troops and their VERY loyal viewers! Our fighting soldiers deserve better! NOT cindy 24/7! Cspan is another treasonous channel! Always there to cover anything the RATS rally to, but GOD FORBID if they should spend any precious minutes covering our side!
Hope that you feel better very very soon...hang tough.
"Tuesday"
I don't know what that means, but whenever FR TV is mentioned it's followed by "Tuesday" ...
Thank you .... it is great to finally see some pictures from Crawford.
LOL! Someone on another thread suggested I send Mr.FF to Home Depot so I could follow this thread in peace. Well it worked, here I am!!
I hope so. This is getting ridiculous. Every MSM site I went to, print or TV, just hypes the C. S. crowd and downplays the pro-troops side. All of them are replaying the warmed over AP story, with no coverage at all about what is really happening in Crawford.
Have you all been following this?
Good stuff!
