just returned from crawford rally (pic heavy)
we had to leave after the rally in the park, so we didn't get to the ranch gates, but...
(if anyone notices errors in the captions, i am sorry. i did not bring a notepad with me, and am relying on my often faulty memory)

here is a long shot of the crowd:


this helicopter circled us throughout the rally. maybe news, maybe secret service, who knows:


code pink (i guess):


a good sign:


i believe this is tx. state rep. lon burnham:


two iraq war vets (one now has CO status):


lost her boyfriend/husband 4 hrs after receiving the email (in her hand):

4. Excellent job
The ones of the vets and the woman who lost her boyfriend were really good. You should submit them to local newspapers and ask if they are doing stories on the subject. They prefer to use pix no one else has, when possible. Tell them they can have them for $50 apiece and they will love you.

7. Thanks for the pictures.
The photo of the young woman who had just received her telegram gave me chills throughout my body. What a sweet couple. How very sad. And for a pack of lies.

11. If this party comes to DC

I make an oath right now I will be there. I have never marched or protested in my entire life. I almost made the anti-war march back a couple Februarys ago, but failed to get there.

I'll be there if this thing heads to DC...

21. Every time I see a photo of someone who died in this war, my heart breaks.
I see the shattered dreams in the faces of the loved ones left behind.

23. The caption on the last pic is wrong..
That is actually her brother. She was reading an email that he had sent his girlfriend 4 hours before he died congratulating her because he had just found out that she was pregnant and telling her to take care of herself and the baby and he would be home to take care of them soon...

They stay there and prosper, and follow Bush back to the White House because I don't think he's gonna get the guts to face her.

31. If I win the lottery I'm coming to Crawford and bringing a
whole bunch of friends!!

I SOOO wish I could be there. I'm an old hand from the women's clinic defense/Operation Rescue days of the late 80s and am thrilled at having another cause to take up at this time in my life.
