Cindy just said on AAR that Camp Casey will be moving

[shugah]

she said that a neighbor (closer to the bush ranch), appalled at the guy with the gun, has offered an acre for them to use.

[seabeyond]

1. thank you fellow texan. i am so glad to hear this n/t

[kedrys]

22. Finally, proof that not all Texans are *bots

Whoever you are, good neighbor, my thanks and my respect.

[leftchick]

2. that is wonderful!

I wonder how many folks can fit on an acre?

[shugah]

8. at least as many as can fit in a ditch

i'd guess! ;-)

[mrbill]

16. an acre is 43,560 square feet.....

lots of people will fit, but cars can take up a lot of space.

[benburch]

62. Cars can still be legally parked on the roadside. nt

[5thGenDemocrat]

68. Put another way

An acre is about 76 percent the size of a football field -- including the end zones (91 percent if you don't count the end zones).

3. Everyone of us owes that neighbor a very heartfelt thank you.

.

[OctOct1]

4. I would like to send this person a thank you

We send her thank you cards

[KaryninMiami]

24. Great idea- how can we find his name and address and send them?

Imagine if he received thousands of thank you cards from us and others-- what a wonderful idea! Imagine thousands of cards saying "The Country Thanks You"= he'd feel great and supported, Camp Casey would be even more secure and it sure would be a great story to send to the media!

Let's see if we can pull this off!

[Left Brain]

40. Definitely!

Maybe the Peace House can tell us how to reach him/her? Huge thanks is in order.

[Crankie Avalon]

42. I would love to send a thank you, too...

...but I would be worried that releasing the person's name would also open him/her up to receiving death threats and hate grams from the good "Christians" over at Freak Republic.

[Solly Mack]

5. Wonderful!!!!!

[Career Prole]

6. Hurray for the *good* neighbor!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

7. Sheehan has to appear in court at 9am and may be tossed off land,but

has better spot up road-Medea Benjamin of Code Pink said on Bill Press Show just now

[kath]

63. Why does she have to appear in court? WTF?!?!

[Algorem]

64. I guess it wasn't accurate,haven't heard anything about it since.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Great news! We need to thank this person!

[cal04]

10. Truthout mentions a farmer's cousin that owns this ranch

Its 2:20 am in Waco ... I'm back in the hotel trying to soak in a very eventful day ... well actually it was a slow day and an eventful night. Perhaps it was meant to be that we would have a day of calm before the storm.

The highlight of the day had to be the pig farmers. These three old boys looked like they walked off the ranch down the road (wouldn't want to compare anyone to the rancher across the street). These guys were from West Texas. They are very angry with the play rancher down the road a few miles and are behind Cindy one hundred percent. These guys drove their tractors to DC to protest "The Pig Tax". One of these farmers happened to have a cousin with a ranch closer to George and land that Camp Casey can move to. Like Cindy said another Camp Casey miracle...

The low point was being in the room when someone found out their friend died in Iraq. It was the first time I have ever been in the room when someone else learned of a friend or loved ones death I am so glad Cindy was there because I had no idea what to say.

It is a very strong community here; I have not seen one fight or heated argument. The cross destruction was a close second. Why, Why, Why? We will post video tomorrow of the crosses.

11. That should throughly piss off the little worm bush**

:woohoo:

[nookiemonster]

12. God bless, good neighbor.

Right on!!

:patriot:

[izzie]

17. Have you looked over the internet and seen the cartoons?

They are just wild.

[KyndCulture]

13. another camp casey miracle!! thank you to that kind soul.

[Binka]

41. Yeah!!!! Hey Kynd I Haven't Forgotten About You

My sister came to visit on Friday and we have been partying our asses off for Cindy. I'll get you what I promised later this afternoon. OK? Go Cindy Go!!!!

Anyone see the big fans yet? They were supposed to go out on Friday but it is so crazy there I don't want to pester the Peace House. If anyone has seen the tent and generators and fans let me know. I canceled our vacation and bought Ray a paddling pool and ten cases of wine to make up for spending all the kitty! He's proud of me LOL!

[jbnow]

50. Big fans (and generators)!

What a wonderful offering. That will bring great relief in stifling heat. Thank You
(That's not a confirmation thank you, I am far from there.)

[IndyOp]

55. You spent your vacation money on Camp Casey?!?!?!

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

...and so does Ray! :yourock:

[Binka]

57. Yes We Did

We had plans to go to Lisbon and Barcelona but we felt the patriots and good people at Camp Casey and Peace House DESERVED it more than we WANTED it. For we surely did not NEED to go on holiday. We are a very blessed family. Here are our best gifts









Ben leaves for Iraq in early September. He is with the First Marine Division 7th Regiment 3rd Battalion India Co. We HAD to do this for Casey and Cindy. Pray for Ben please and Casey and Cindy.

Love The Binka

edit to clarify

[anarchy1999]

59. Binka, I just got off the phone with Jeff at Centex.

Jeff and his stepson delivered and set up the tent, 2 6200 watt generators, the fans and 3 side walls for the tent on Thursday afternoon. The tent is set up on the east side of the Peace House in the side yard with the fans on either end.

Danny delivered 3 super coolers on Saturday. So yes, they are there and are in much use and so gratefully appreciated by everyone!

If I'm not mistaken somewhere in all the pictures there is one of Cindy in the evening, relaxing in the tent, with a fan in the background.

Peace Binka and thank you again.

[Binka]

60. If anyone has a picture of Cindy relaxing in the tent I Gotta Have it!

I want to send it to Ben so he can take Cindy in the tent our family lovingly got for these folks to Iraq with him. Thanks for all your help Sherry!!

[Generic Other]

72. You are a hero!

:hug:

enjoy the paddling pool knowing you are a patriot who sacrificed her vacation for her country!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

14. Just what the doctor ordered.

Decency in the face of ugliness.

[Algorem]

15. the guy's sposed to be a nephew or somethig of Mattlage

[Tesla]

19. The Mattlage family

sounds like a great bunch, huh?

[shaniqua6392]

18. Thank God for this miracle.

We must always remember that there are MILLIONS of people out there that feel the same way we do about GWB. We are far from alone. And, since I am a Christian, I must note that prayers are answered. Many of us out here have been praying daily that this illegal war will end soon. We know GWB is NOT a man of faith, and we have been praying for Cindy. She truly is an angel doing God's work. The more people who stand with her, the more the media will pay attention, and public outcry is the only thing that will stop the war.

[wtbymark]

20. another small victory (nt)

[Mist]

21. This is terrific news! I was worried about them

being too close to the road--too vulnerable.

[William769]

23. Kudos to the good neighbor.

[achtung_circus]

25. As long as

that acre in not in the back 40 somewhere. Camp Casey needs road access and public visibility.

I hope that acre is beside the road.

[bluedog]

26. Is this the man who letthem use the property?

Ricky Sanders?

Crawford coverage: Bucolic or bogus? Some wonder what's up with TV news' affinity for hay bales

08/29/2002

By DAVID JACKSON / The Dallas Morning News

CRAWFORD, Texas – Ricky Sanders may have the most famous hay bales in America.

Want to see them? Just turn on one of the all-day cable news networks when President Bush is at his ranch in Crawford. Odds are the correspondent will be standing in front of the rolled hay bales – as well as the tool shed – on land owned by Mr. Sanders and his brothers.

Not that he's all that crazy about it.

"It's one of those deals," Mr. Sanders said, shrugging his shoulders. "There's nothing I can do about it – they're not on my property."


http://www.politicalposts.com/news/index.asp?id=148650

[txindy]

32. Sounds like Mr. Sanders needs to make an adjustment to those hay bales

Maybe add a sign or two. :evilgrin:

[kath]

65. Maybe he ought to put up a huge banner in front of those haybales -

something like "Mission NOT Accomplished".

[AngryAmish]

27. The march begins

We will drive them before us and cleanse our land of them.

[Beetwasher]

28. It Was Only A Matter Of Time Before A Kind Neighbor Showed Up

Good news. I had a feeling something like this would happen.

[bluedog]

29. great news.................n/t

[kbm8795]

30. I think it would be a very good idea

to make sure that the land is left the way it was found when this is over at the end of the month. . .

and that someone approach the owners and let us know how we could take up a collection to do something very nice for them. . .like maybe. . .purchase them a couple of trees, or some permanent flowers....or even a nice basket with a gift certificate for a nursery or something.

I'm not sure why my thoughts are going to some outdoor plants. . .I think part of it is that it has always been my custom when someone dies or someone is born to buy something living to plant. It would be nice if we could come up with something to do in gratitude for the use of that acre.

[McCamy Taylor]

31. Yeah!

[City Lights]

33. Now that guy deserves a gift basket!

Other ** neighbor guy, :yourock:

[Imagevision]

34. Excellant news! now all 1852 crosses have room to be out up!

[garybeck]

35. remember, until KKK Rove invaded Texas, they had a Dem governor

there are a lot of good folks in texas.

[Larkspur]

36. Good News! But how long before this good Samaritan is bulled by his

neighbors?

[Rose Siding]

38. It won't be easy for him, but I bet he knows that

This is so good to hear on a day like this.

[w8liftinglady]

49. Most of those ranchers are individualists

They don't like intimidation tactics..by anyone.

[lonestarnot]

37. Wooohhoooo a texas dude with a brain and a heart and some courage!

I love it!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

39. Google Earth.com...free satlilite tool you can zoom in on crawford....

a GREAT tool...click on the "free version"....i love it!...type in any address and watch...enjoy

FIND CINDY and the Crawford Peace House or the Church that they may be moving to

Offers maps and satellite images for complex or pinpointed regional searches.

[helderheid]

43. THAT ROCKS!!! MORE TO CAMP CASEY!!!

[Javaman]

44. Now there is a real Texan!

[Catchawave]

45. MSNBC just showed the damage done to the roadside crosses

from the yee-ha boys in the pick-up. I had read about that on DU, but seeing the damage was very disturbing :scared:

What has BushCo done to this country?

[City Lights]

51. Glad MSNBC showed it too.

It needs to be shown with every one of their news updates.

Gonna go turn on MSNBC and watch for it.

[Imagevision]

53. well hal-la-luya msnbc - Jon Stewart can play this up good!

A good ole texas boy today...

[emdee]

46. Wonderful!! Private Property!! Hooray!

I've been so worried about their safety.
Private property - this is so great!
emdee

[DanCa]

47. wow a yellow rose in texas

There are some good people left in the world.

[wryter2000]

48. Totally awesome

I had so hoped someone would come through. :yourock:, sir.

[emdee]

52. Somewhere someone asked about sending thank-you notes....

Could we send them through one of the organizations that's been helping rather than publish his/her address online? I'd love to send one!
emdee

[SharonRB]

56. Couldn't they just be sent c/o Crawford Peace House

Use their address, but address them somehow to the anonymous person who offered up his land.

[Sapphire Blue]

58. 'Camp Casey's Welcoming Neighbor'?

[SharonRB]

66. That sounds good.

[emdee]

69. I think that would be a wonderful idea....

that wouldn't compromise the person's identity but he/she would still get the cards.

BUSH would have had much positive PR if he'd given them an acre of his land to camp on.

emdee

[SharonRB]

54. I saw this on the Truthout blog

It's great, great news. Now they should be fine for the whole time they're there because they will be on private property and invited to be there by the property owner.

[sepia_steel]

61. EXCELLENT!

Thanks, neighbor!

[ronnykmarshall]

67. That's great news.

I've been worried about the folks since the asshole w/ the gun.

What a great guy to do this.

[Binka]

70. Kick

Everyone needs to know they are going to be safer! :kick:

[ronnykmarshall]

71. Some one reported that because of the crosses ....

being mowed down, they donated more money.

I did the same thing too. I just got some various rebate checks and deposited them today. I just sent the entire amount to Crawford via Pay Pal.
