Just got back from Crawford
and wanted to let everyone know what is going on

Got there around four and met Diane Wilson,(Code Pink) Nathan from Iconoclast was there, Some veterans for peace, and a Du'er from Dallas!Also a great lady from Ft. Hood, and Californians came by as well.

People were coming and going, and I am heading back in the morning with a few things that they need. We are going to get a laptop out there for them to use, and a few other little things.

The weather compared to yesterday was SO much nicer. Cooler and cloudy. Actually bearable. Tomorrow its forecast to be hot again, unfortunately.

Kind of a mystery where Cindy was. I think she was getting her sister back to the airport, but no one could get her on the cell. Probably just out of range. She is supposed to be on Rachel Maddow show I was told. Isnt that right around now? Havent looked, so dont know.

Anyways, I took a few more pics and will add to this thread a little bit later.

3. TexasLady, thank you!
I have been tuning in to this story and for all of you helping Cindy out, thanks!
The world needs to know how the deaths and devastation are affecting those who don't buy into the bs spilling out of the media.

5. well, we interviewed Nathan from the Iconoclast
and he told us this was the most exciting two days of his life.

He's done a helluva job, and is a really nice guy to boot!

8. Great Job in Crawford! Can Someone Please....
make it clear to Americans that those ratty old buildings we see on the news are not part of B*'s multi-million $$$ property?

I'm so sick of that hypocritical, lying a$$hole trying to act like he's a poor American!!

9. One of the neighbors
came over on his riding lawn mower to sit and chat. He left my husband with a religious flyer and said to tell Cindy something along the lines of Jesus is the one she needs to talk to, not bush...**sigh*

Then I was told that another neighbor(Im thinking there are three different properties in the 'v' area where they are at, like a triangle of public grass, with trees along one side) asked that all of their things be removed so that they werent on 'her' side.

*sigh* again.

Finally, if the damn police cars would slow down it would be nice. My husband and I were there for about three hours, and there was a cop every fifteen minutes whizzing by, sometimes by the twos and threes. Most drove just fine, but a few drove really fast. as far as we all were from the main traffic, you'd have to be driving a mac truck to have actually hit anyone, though. Everyone is a good hundred feet from all the traffic.

10. Pics from Sunday afternoon
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 05:06 AM by TexasLady

triangle of public grass where cars park

Diane talking to DH as he handed her the religious flyer from the neighbor on the four wheeler,(oops, not the riding lawn mower)

here I am standing almost in the road where the SS, Police, and general traffic goes by, it is behind me. To the left is the triangle where folks are parking their cars. this actual road in front of me, is where absolutely no cars go by.( so it would be a helluva distance for anyone to get hit on 'accident')

12. Wow! just Wow! what can any of us say?
you're makeing history, you realize?

talk about being at the gates of hell/in the belly of the beast, etc (pick your own cliche)

can't tell you how proud it makes me to see that there are those that still make a point of it to put into PRACTICE what we've actually fought several wars to protect....NOT including the last god knows how many (including all those 'little' incursions into Latin America, the proxy wars the world over, etc)

my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, especially those there who've lost loved ones to the evil ones

great pix, too!

PS....it would be most excellent if somebody tried very hard to
get pix of the SS/police/other thugs that try to mess with you

pictorial representation is so compelling

for example, the BBV deal really hit home when somebody posted video of that Curtiss guy testifying how that creep Feeney asked him to write code to STEAL the election in Florida

14. Im so glad to be a part of it
I believe in this so much, as everyone here does!!

I am definitely taking pics of the SS/ police today. Im heading back out in a couple of hours.

I feel so lucky that Im only forty miles away, but man I wish the gas prices would go down...oh well, wish in one hand, spit in bush's eye...

17. Has that veiled threat from the SS made the MSM?
Would be great if it did.Hope Cindy gets her chance to meet him.Chimpie will probably be wearing that mic he used at the debates if he does meet her at all which I doubt.
