Joan Baez sang about four times this afternoon, a couple of the songs being Joe Hill, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.
Cindy Sheehan spoke at the rally and at a press conference just after that.
Sheehan said that before she came down here, someone told her, "You should go down in a pasture near Bush's ranch and thousands of people would come and you ought to call it Turdstock, so let's call it Turdstock."
She said that one question in her mind when she first arrived in Crawford was, "When will America care?" Now, she says, she knows that America cares.
Sheehan talked about her plans to take her message to the communities, that it is a grassroots movement that's growing and growing. She said, "I couldn't stop it now if I wanted to. It's got a life of its own. We'll take it to the cities, then the House and the Senate." She reiterated that the insurgency is fueled by our presence.She says she thinks it will stop if we leave.
The serving of barbecue has not yet started. The arrival of persons to have crosses removed has not happened.
There are still thousands here. Few, if any, are leaving. People keep arriving.
