When I Get To Crawford I Plan To Erect This Historic Marker At The Site!!!

[DistressedAmerican]

I have said since this event first started rolling that what we were seeing was historic. I have made many comparisons to Rosa Parks and the Anti-war movement in the 1960's.

I have proclaimed this newly galvanized movement a force that will not be stopped. Metaphors I have used range from and avalanche to a steamroller.

I even argued at one point that Larry Mattlage would do better to bring lemonade to Camp than come out trying to run folks off with a gun because someday this spot was going to have it's own historic marker and that his home will probably be added to the National Register Of Historic Places.

Based on that comment, I decided this morning that when I arrive TOMMORROW (YEAH!), I will be bringing this graphic in a nice LARGE format to erect outside of camp:

-

AS ALWAYS, Feel free to spread it around. There are lots of locations that may need historic markers before WE ARE DONE!!!

1. Hey, you've got a typo in there!!

Thousnads.......just a heads up!

Please check your PM if you haven't already!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

6. Make that two typos

"Chaple" should be "Chapel"

And you forgot the mullet and the "GO USA" part. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

[Not_Giving_Up]

9. Ah, I didn't see that the first time

:rofl:

[DistressedAmerican]

13. Fixed. Damn Dyslexia And Rushing To Roll Out!

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. Cool

Now, did you check your PM?

[DistressedAmerican]

20. Oh, Well Aware Of That Whole Scene. See My Website....

[Not_Giving_Up]

24. Figured you were

Just thought that you should know!

[asthmaticeog]

12. Also - "KILLEDIN."

on edit: Wonder where *I* can get some of those thousnads? :evilgrin:

[DistressedAmerican]

16. Also fixed. Better now than once printed...

[Richard Steele]

2. We can hope that marker will be PERMANENT some day...

Nice Job!

[acmejack]

3. Great!

One suggestion though, the historical marker signs in TX have a black blackground.

[DistressedAmerican]

29. It Is Just Reflection That BIG SKY!. Actually I Copied The Texture That

was there to do the fill. That is pretty much the exact color of the shot I used.

[Stuckinthebush]

4. Love it! Check your spelling....

Great marker, check the spelling of all words. Also, two of the words run together.

Great! Love it!

5. Sorry, but as a member

of the Texas State Historical Commission, it would be appreciated if you did not use our historical markers without permission. No matter what it is for.

[Misunderestimator]

11. Um... He is bringing a graphic he created, not "using" a historical marker

Do you have an issue with him imitating the historical markers? 'Cause that would just be weird if you did.

22. After taking the tour of the Alamo years ago, I left with

the impression that what passes for history in Texas is jingoistic bullsh*t.

Admittedly, that was almost a decade ago now.

I hope such is no longer the case, even at the Alamo.

I'm all for celebrating our past; but only if it is done in an honest and truthful way.

[BrotherBuzz]

34. The truth might be found in the basement of the Alamo

23. Thanks For Chiming In Anyway...

50. I Used To Teach Copyright Seminars. Pretty Well Versed In My Rights.

More importantly the poster in question is at best suspicious. I have no reason to believe that they are in anyway connected to any organization.

Well, probably some organization just not that one...

[Jara sang]

51. Indeed, that much was obvious just in the poster's words.

Just thought I'd throw out that bit from the THC website just to "stick it" to that "historian";-)

[merh]

45. Yeah - you are a member of the historical commission

I can tell from your astute warning about "using one of your markers". :sarcasm:

I hope your other members are smart enough to recognize a graphic mock up when they see it! :rofl:

[Jara sang]

49. Wow, you should read your own web pages sometime.

7. Thank you so much for going down

to Crawford, Texas from New York and erecting that historic landmark that you created!

They can write all the sourgrape articles they want on why "Cindy is wrong" but it won't change the fact that Cindy is Right and she has helped galvanize even more supporters who think this was an illegal criminal crusade from the very beginning and there are people who didn't realize at first but can't help but understand it now.

[Ian David]

8. Two typos. You're missing a comma

One woman, Cindy Sheehan,

[kath]

10. Wow, awesome stuff, DA. Way to go!!

(and I really hate to say this, and I'm saying this in a very little teeny, tiny voice, but you misspelled "prairie" and "chapel", and there's a typo the first time you use the word "thousands". Yeah, these little things jump out at me, which is why my husband always asks me to proofread his grant proposals and papers. :-) Oh, looking at it again in an even more picky way, there should be a comma after "Cindy Sheehan" {tiny, tiny whisper}.)

What a great idea your sign is! I really hope your prediction comes true. Send us pictures of your sign mounted at Camp Casey!

[on edit - oops, it took me awhile to compose my post (interrupted by kids), and it looks like some of the other schoolmarms here beat me to the spelling and punctuation lesson! :-) )

[Misunderestimator]

14. Prairie... not Prarie

[babylonsister]

15. Hey, DA; please explain to me what

Crawford, Texas
2025 < -- indicates? Did you mean 2005?

Also, prairie is spelled prairie, I'm thinking.

Oh, and nominated! :)

[DistressedAmerican]

28. The File Is Called Future Historic Marker. That Should Help!

[babylonsister]

30. It does-thanks! Great job! nt

[anarchy1999]

19. One more mistake.

You should remove the word "President" because that title doesn't apply to Dubya.

[YDogg]

39. My thoughts exactly. n/t

[bleever]

21. Who's got one more rec. for DA?

This is great. Thanks for this and all your great graphics, DA.

:thumbsup:

[spacelady]

26. Really nice work! Prairie is still misspelled, though. n/t

[DistressedAmerican]

27. Thanks For All The Proofing. I Think It Is Ready For Posting Now.

Despite one objection...

[Spike from MN]

31. I assume you're talking about me

and hey, it's OK. I'll let you slide this time. ;) In fact, I'll even recommend this for greatest page.

[tk2kewl]

32. Very moving!

:thumbsup:

[frictionlessO]

33. Oh how cool is that!

That is just 100% freaking neato!

[rateyes]

35. Cool. Excellent.

Wish I could be there, but with you in spirit!

[AngryAmish]

[toey]

37. throughout this whole thing nothing has given me chills...

but this literally made my head, neck and then the rest of my body tingle.

way to go DA!!! :yourock:

[katinmn]

38. DA, I wish we had 10 of you. You have too many great ideas for one

poor body to have to implement.

LOL.
:hi:

I can't wait to see you tomorrow!

[Lerkfish]

40. another artist, here, futzing with you...

I'd justify center the copyblock. Especially the widow "2004" at flush left looks bad.

other than that, woohoo!

[DistressedAmerican]

41. I wanted to. My version of Photoshop does not allow me to...

That pissed me off too. Oh well. I have to settle for slightly less than my mental vision pretty often. funny that you hoticed it too. Way to make me paranoid...

:evilgrin: :toast:

[Lerkfish]

42. LOL! sorry about that!

if you PM me, You can send me the pieces and I'll fix it for ya when I get home late tonight.

[TK421]

43. Nice work there! I wish I could go, and I'm looking for vigils a

bit closer to where I live.:headbang:

[Jara sang]

44. That is great DA! You must read a lot of those markers.

Because that looks and sounds just like one. I have read a bunch of those across the country, so I'm speaking from experience.

[merh]

46. Thanks DA - I so love your work!

Thanks for your dedication & passion! :yourock:

[dxstone]

47. You ROCK, m'friend!

:yourock:
K&N!

Just got home from work, doing a quick check in before
finishing packing. I'm giggling with gleeeee!

Soon that marker will be the TOMBSTONE
of George Dubya Bush! LOVEIT!

[unhappycamper]

54. Another home run outta the park at the 435 foot marker.

I can't wait to see this poster up at Camp Casey. (Wish I could join you this weekend.)

Peace, and take LOTS of pictures.
