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.
Very true. Another problem is likely that many of the fine folks who were at today's events do not participate regularly in these sorts of events...thus they had likely never heard of PW.
Today was the first time in ages I watched the news, with the mute on.
A streaming video (you will need Quicktime and a decent speed connection).
The file is 5.2. mb and is a greeting from Deborah Johns of MoveAmericaForward.org to the FReepers, local talk show host Greg Knapp meeting Jim Robinson, and a greeting to FReepers from Greg Knapp.

Oh NO! They ran off a Protest Warrior. They are our staunchist allies in the protest business. I can't believe that. Wonder why he couldn't make them understand who he was? I hate that so much. We owe them an apology...BIG TIME.
Wonderful photos! It was a great day for America, and for all the patriots who came out in the heat to support our troops.
Of course, MSM will underestimate our numbers and inflate the numbers of the Commies, as they always do.
Where was FOXnews? Asleep at the switch?
After looking at a photo of Cindy Sheehan, OBL says, "I'm not that lonely!"
ProtestWarrior infiltrates leftist rallies with signs that seem to support the leftist cause...until you read them. Then you realize they are mocking the leftist cause. Problem today appears to be that no one read the signs before tearing them up. So PW went to infiltrate the leftists. It is really funny to see a report about a leftie protest and a PW message right in the middle. Maybe someone can post a pic or two.
THIS SHOULD BE IT'S OWN THREAD!
Thanks Indy!
I can use this.
I haven't been able to see TxBec's pictures...I just have a red X...

Actually, the Protest Warriors went to Camp Cindy, which was where they were heading next anyway.
They understood that it was a big misunderstanding. I spoke with ProtestWarrior myself. It was an ordeal, but I think everyone was cool after the dust settled. At least that was my read on the situation.
Even the "victim" admitted that he could see how the misunderstanding could happen. But it WAS quite a scene, and I think the poor guy was literally terrified.
Hehe, whoops, on my Dad's PC...

This is an awesome video! Sorry I couldn't make it, we dropped off our daughter today at the airport 10:00 am for Iraq and there was no way I could have made the Wisconsin to Texas trip in three hours. Kudos!
So it worked for you? I was waiting for confirmation, and then I was going to post it.
It did work?
cool- is there more?
Yeah! More! More!
Good job so far...
Another classic from BOAZO! ROFL!!
I have been with the Protest Warriors here in
San Diego with a countering the Code Pinko bunch.
They are a great group.
