Thanks to Crooks & Liars, we should have some almost-live audio for you shortly! Camp Casey got the football stadium in Crawford for a big rally today. MilitaryTracy is there, and transmitting audio to C&L. Cindy said the Crawford Town Sheriff had been very supportive of her, and had offered her the use of the town high school’s stadium. (Tattered Coat Blog)
Cindy Sheehan and Cat (Brinnaine). BELOW, a photo of Cindy and MilitaryTracy. Cat’s camera acted up, so I used some Photoshop filters. Cat promises VIDEO soon.
that is suskind’s article Cindy is holding in her hand — she is so incredible…really everyone up there is, I was hugging people all day Thursday.
Thanks for posting these, Susan and I promise I will do better with the heat/film thing next time I’m there…
Well, thank YOU so much for these photos … i promise to process more soonest and will post them in the comments.
I was able to clean up the pictures a little more, from the ones above, if I had originals I could do a little better.
If you want to send me any brinnaine, I could try, I have a very good editor.
I just meantI used the copy that Susan has posted,which was one she ran through a photo shop…So that would be your original pic.
–the film was damaged by the heat (I’ll do better next time) because I was using a little disposable instead of my digital….
I have photoshopped them myself and there really isn’t anything to be done — but thanks for offering! 😉
Forgot to post these lines from Tracy this morning:
If you think the mainstream media screwed you, you should be a Bush Supporter coming to crawford thinking the bus full of (Bush) supporters is still here!! According to Tracy they were there for about 1/2 hours this morning and then left.
That is great!
Can’t wait to see the video. Anyone know how many are/were at the rally? This is so great. Feels like I am there. Brinnainne it was so wonderful to talk to you via phone this morning. I can’t wait for one of those hugs. You are an amazing woman. Say hi to Tracy for me this week.
Thank you for calling — can’t wait to see you in 2 weeks!
The video I have is of Thursday, and probably pretty boring — I will go take more though!
just called me from Crawford. He is with adastra. They say that there are cars lined up on the roads in three directions. It’s like Woodstock down there.
Hey Boo…I know you can’t always read all your email cause you’re so damn popular but I sent one today with a request. I know you are busy ALL the time BUT if you get a chance I sure would appreciate it. Thanks Boo.
i got your email and I forwarded to Wolverine Writer. He’s the man with the stuff and the numbers. So, I’ll see what he thinks makes sense and we’ll let you know.
Thanks for even considering the request Booman. It is greatly appreciated.
she’s coming in….
she says they have about 1500 people out there right now, she’s sunburned and coming back here to rest up, shower and generally relax a bit before driving back home.
We will get a full debrief! She should be here no later than 6 pm CST.
1500, 1500 people? Yepers, the drum beat is getting louder!!! YIPPEE!!
The San Diego Union Tribune9very right leaning) has a front page story about the “Showdown in Crawford”. Huge picture of Bill Mitchell and the headline reads “Battle Line Drwan in Texas”. Then another page in front section of all the crosses and a geat one of Cindy kneeling at Casey’s cross and a little boy that is three putting a flag next to one of the crosses.Caption reads, “Reid Haney 3, of Temple, Texas placed a flag yesterday at one of the hundreds of crosses bearing the names of US servicem members killed in Iraq. Reid and his parents went to Crawford to show support for President Bush.” Just wanted to share this with you all. It is being covered daily now.
Last night I couldn’t sleep well, kept thinking of you all and could almost feel the tug… I may not get to Crawford, but I’m going to get somewhere.
I love you all, Janet
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
One of my all time favorite songs…love the lyrics and the melody. Maybe it’s time to dust off some of the old protest songs although I heard Green Day has another new anti bush song out I believe. Tried to play it on computer but couldn’t get it to work.
Incredible album!!! I love them. The whole thing is anti-asshole 🙂
Don’t wanna be an American idiot.
Don’t wanna be under the naation controlled by the media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind f*** America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation
Everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue.
Well maybe I’m the faggot America.
I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation.
Everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow.
For that’s enough to argue.
Don’t wanna be an American idiot.
Under the nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It’s calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation.
Everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow.
For that’s enough to argue

One of my favorite anti-Bush songs is by MInistry, a bit too heavy for some so will post the lyrics here:
Wrong –
You’re wrong everytime
What makes you think you’ve got a god given right
For killing people in a needless fight
You’re like a rapist with a target in sight
Democracy!
Whoever told you that you were bright
The skull and bones the conservative right
you’re like a plague turning day into night
Atrocity!
What makes you think that you could start this mess
then crawl away to a world you detest
You’re fucking evil but you couldnt care less
Conspiracy!
What makes you think that we could ever believe
A major liar with a minor in greed
You make a profit off the people in need
Hypocracy!
You’re time is coming and it wont be long
the bill of rights is now the bill of wrong
allready proven that you dont belong
In History!
Your time is over-you’ll be out on the street
what do you say to the people you meet
i saved the world because i didnt repeat
my policy
Beautiful! BTW I have lots of hotel points for anyone who needs them for the 24th

In the words of Phil Ochs:
In the face of the people who know they’re gonna win,
There’s a strength that’s greater than the power of the wind,
And you can’t stand around when the ice is growing thin,
For these are the days of decision.
