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.

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. "Rovegoggles?" Any news camera can do the same thing :)

Argghhhh!
The MSM coverage is killing me. ABC radio news' Sherry Preston just reported that there are a thousand Sheehan supporters and a thousand pro-Bush supporters.
I screamed so loud at the radio, I think my dog fainted. j/k
The lamestream media are nothing but a pack of LIARS!
Thanks to everyone there for the TRUTH today. You're doing a fantastic job!

I just got back from Crawford. What a great crowd. Enthusiastic, patriotic folks. There was a lot of media coverage. My daughter had to go to work in Killeen so we left early. We drove out to the lefties compound. What a joke! Maybe 75 folks there and they were outnumbered by the pro America folks across the road from them. My daughter took the camera with her but I will post pics when I can. Great to see JimRob, Basil, eaker JREwing, DrewsDad, Gracey, Kristinn, Dr. Raul and tons of other FReepers. The soldiers and their families that were there were very happy to see that much support.Bump...

Live auto updating doppler radar, the circled cross hairs is Crawford.
The arrows are 1 hour of storm travel time broken up in 20 minute segments at the little boxes.
Looks like the left might get to take showers after all;)

I did drive past the peace house on my way out..then looped back around to leave town... on the way, a couple in tie dyed tshirts walked past us. I shook my head and as I passed them, they turned around and looked at my car and my W stickers LOL

Greg Kelly's "report" from Crawford was biased, pitiful, and lame. Fox should can that guy.
