Can we get more soldiers down to Crawford?

The Iraq Vets against the war has many soldiers.

Do you think they would want to go and if so would setting up a paypal for air fare help.

Bush seems like he will not talk to her (he is doing his "resolute" thing), but if she won't leave it would be great to see her joined by tons of soldiers and military families.

Barry Crimins is here. Got damn.

The soldiers who did the walk-up aren't around right now. Cindy's spokesman is likewise unavailable because his wife is suffering heat stroke. I will catch up on the letter thing and get a statement when I can. I know they are aware of it.

The cars parked along the side of the road are stretching beyond view, and more are coming. The crosses in the Arlington West cemetery stretch nearly as far. Everyone is settling in for the remains of another day here in the ditch.

The walk-up, it turns out, did not happen. The bedlam after the press conference made it not a feasible action. For now.

It is hot, damned hot. But there are guitars going and songs are being sung. The press truck with the satellite is still here. The fire ants have hopefully gone to hell where they belong. And the line of crosses stretches further down the road.

The port-o-potty has arrived. And there was great rejoicing.

8. They are on Killeen's doorstep, which is home to Fort Hood.

I wonder if they have any base privileges that would allow them to stay at a BOQ or BEQ? Discount at a nearby hotel? If I go up there, I was going to stay at a Marriott in Killeen (I can get myself a good deal for that because my husband travels alot).

10. I would happily donate to help their room and airfare

I don't have that much money,but I'm sure we could collectively raise plenty if those who could chip in did
