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.
God bless your daughter and keep her safe while overseas. We'll keep your family in our prayers.
AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the link ... my dang screen needs cleaned again...very fuzzy.
Ted Nugent's wife!
ON FOX NOW !! Shemane Nugent on - IN Crawford!!
Wonderful post! I'll tell Basil next time I talk with her! She was thinking there was more than 500 but didn't want to artificially inflate the numbers just in case! Now I can confirm she had it right!
Thanks for the update! It still pisses me off 'cause if this was a left wing lunnie being escorted away, I would imagine there would be about 200 MSM standing by to tape & record it for the evening news with lots of pushing & shoving going by his fellow anti-American "COMRADES". We gotta stuff these lunatics back inside their holes.
What? Jeb's running for what? Ted Nugent's wife is on TV!
From what i've heard, he was arrested because he
refused to stay in the area designated for
the pro-Bush supporters.
But if it has writing on it, then it no longer is a true flag right? --Just trying to think like a liberal...
What is Nugent's wife speaking about....I know I love her!
My sigh was for the weak showing of cars supposedly joining the caravan in Waco and enroute. I'm still hopeful there will be a good attendance at the rally, and I heartily applaud the brave caravan patriots who travelled from CA, AZ, and NM.
As if the dope-smoking hippy-moonbats are ever in sufficient command of their mental faculties to be on time for anything that isn't a rave, an orgy, or some other occasion in which participants are consuming "mind-enhancing" substances.
I'm watching. Said anti-American protesters following latch-key kids home to ask if they could use the bathroom and shower!
Hey M! Keep us cubicle bound updated puhleease!!! Hope all is well....this is actually quite exciting.
glad for the live thread thanks TXB.. and tgsl & Kristinn.. SO VERY glad you are there to help out HOT and be part of the counter protest. Cannot wait for the afterreport. I don't have cable (not as if they would cover it correctly).
Are the protest warriors there???
If $$ were there, I would be with you.
Prayers for all of your safety & a great day of FReeping!!!!~

Yes this is a liberal paper [one horse weekly] but once in a while you pick up a tidbit or two worth mentioning that they have reported.
only a little...
