I mean it!!!!!!!!!

[Richard Steele]

2. Nice pix! did you make the iron 'America in Iraq' sign?

[GOPisEvil]

4. No, no...that's a traveling thing.

[Erika]

3. Thanks so much n/t

[LynzM]

Glad you managed to find a writer guy to hang out with. :)

[auntAgonist]

Thank you for sharing. I WISH I could make the trip.


:yourock:

[Maat]

7. Thanks for the pictures!

Take care!

Peace,

[burrowowl]

8. Damnit!

For lack of $500 (gas and food) and I have a deadline, but it is the frigging $500 that I don't have, I would be there!
Shit missing a big historic moment!
God bless everyone going there!

[In_The_Wind]

9. Thanks GOPisEVIL

now ... I'll recognize the guy that's gonna be sleeping on our couch in DC

[Maddy McCall]

10. Great pictures!

I can hardly contain my enthusiasm. Can't wait to get there.

Wish you were going to be there when I'm there. :(

[jobycom]

11. When are you going, and why wouldn't you make a side trip to Austin?

Don't like any Austin DUers?

[madeline_con]

12. Thank you...

You look quite different when you're not doing yard work.

That was a feeble attempt to lighten the mood. When I look at Casey's cross, I :cry:

Wish I could be there. You guys be safe and know your work is making history and changing the world. Peace to all of you. :patriot:

[Lisa0825]

13. Thanks for the pics....

WestHoustondem and I were not able to make it to Crawford yet, but GOPisevil's pix really helped us connect to the movement, and we hope to be there next weekend. The pics of the crosses left me speechless (quite a feat). Thanks for sharing.

[BikeWriter]

14. Damn, GOP. I'm proud to know you. You did good.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thank you so much , my dear GOP Is Evil!

These are wonderful pictures; they truly show what is happening out there...

It looks like a well-tended site, too...

Glad you hooked up with Will Pitt...he's so cool!

Good job! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. Cool pics, Davey

What was the deal with Randi?

[GOPisEvil]

18. I dunno...I was there Thursday.

I heard Cindy on Randi's show today, and all seemed well. :shrug:

[AtomicKitten]

17. Thank you so much for sharing your photos.

It's not nearly as good as being there, but it helps include us that really want to be.

[u4ic]

19. Thanks for the pics, David!

Y'all there are making a difference! Everyone there is a hero.

:yourock:

We're even getting coverage up here, on local tv and newspaper.

Those crosses...a :cry:/ :grr: exacta.

[progmom]

20. Thanks for sharing this, David.

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

21. You're welcome!

Thanks for kicking this back up. :egoboost:

What a great day that was. I've got to go back next weekend.

[no name no slogan]

22. great photos!

i hadn't seen these yet.... thanks so much for sharing them! :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

23. No problem...you're welcome.

Some guy took a picture of me getting a hug from Cindy. I have no idea who he is, so if you see a picture of she and I with our arms around each other, grab it for me. :D

[progmom]

30. so are you definitely coming to DC in September?

:)

[GOPisEvil]

36. Oh yeah. I've already bought my plane tickets.

Going out Friday, coming home Sunday. :)

[progmom]

37. me too!

:woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

38. Yay!!!

:woohoo:

[Scout1071]

24. Great pics! I'm so proud of you for going.

I'm coordinating with my sister and mother for a road trip from KC.

Thanks again!

[GOPisEvil]

25. It's only a two hour drive for me. I'd never forgive myself for not going.

I'm going back next weekend, I think.

[jandrok]

28. What was the police presence like?

Threatening at all? I'd like to take the kids out there to let them experience a little activist history in the making, but I don't want to put them in a threatening situation. If things look peaceful, we might take the trip.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Police? One sheriff deputy, who's a nice guy.

Another one cruises by every now and then. They're more concerned with keeping people off private property, etc.

On Thursday at least, it was just like a picnic on the side of the road. Believe me, you'll want your kids to meet Cindy. This is history. Even the big rally today was totally peaceful according to what I have read.

[jandrok]

39. Good info. Thanks.

I really wouldn't want to put the kids into a situation that was potentially hazardous. I really would like them to see how people can make a difference.

[GOPisEvil]

41. Lots of folks had their kids out on Thursday.

Cindy and everyone there is committed to staying completely peaceful.

[jandrok]

44. I'm not worried about the protestor contingent.

I'm sure that Cindy and the rest of the Peace House gang is quite pacifist. It's the Crawford redneck contingent that I'm worried about.

[GOPisEvil]

45. There was one small incident with a guy driving his truck really fast.

It was just intimidation, though. That was the most serious thing I saw. These right-wing idiots are all bluster.

[jandrok]

48. Cool. We might give it a go.

Thanks for the information, David. I appreciate it.

[TexasLady]

42. Ill concur on that one

Not bad at all. Didnt have a single episode of problems there, and yep, it was very peaceful.

[jandrok]

49. Good information to have, TexasLady. Thanks.

:hi:

[NoPasaran]

80. No problems with the police on Saturday

And the freepers---not scary, simply pathetic. I've never seen such sorry excuses for human beings.

[Scout1071]

63. I hope to see you there. I will most certainly introduce myself.

I'm trying to work out a trip with my mom and sister for next weekend. It's one of the busiest months of the year for me from a work standpoint, so that's a bit tough, but I'm doing everything I can to work it out.

Hope to see you there!

[jandrok]

26. Good job, David!

Didn't know that you had gone out there. Kudos to you, my friend. I may buy you an extra burrito next time we have lunch!

[GOPisEvil]

27. I took the day off Thursday and went.

I'm going back, I think.

We've GOT to get together soon for lunch.

[jandrok]

31. We can hit it Friday if you want.

Unless something comes up.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Sounds like a plan.

I've been in San Antonio...had some good Mexican last night and today. :9

[jandrok]

40. Well DUHHHHHHHHH!!!

SA has some of the best Texican eatin', period. Good job, my man.

[Floogeldy]

29. You are AWESOME!

:-)

[GOPisEvil]

34. Nah...just a lucky guy who got to go be a part of history.

[benny05]

33. Great Pics

and you met up with Will too? Kewl...:kick:

[GOPisEvil]

43. Will and I go back a ways...a couple years at least.

He's a hell of a guy. One reason I went Thursday was because he was there, though.

[Generic Other]

46. The metal sign is very effective

Hi David. The last pic was great. Was it before or after the fire ant episode?

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

47. I got there post-attack.

I just got to hear Will complain. ;)

Hi - I got your pm regarding Andy's mom. Andy's nephew called me and told me he was taking her today. What a great lady she is.

That sign is very simple, yet very effective.

[greatauntoftriplets]

50. Is she feeling better?

I talked to Ted today and he said she was under the weather. He sent me a card with the color photo of the one on his memorial service program, a great note, and a copy of the program.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

51. Hmm...I didn't talk to TT today.

So I don't know if she is better. I sure as all heck hope so.

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. Me too.

Ted sounded good. Better than me, because I broke down when I opened the envelope. I've seen the photo before, and Ted emailed it to me earlier in the week (yes! Ted is getting computer literate) but it's so good to have a quality copy of it.

[GOPisEvil]

55. I'm glad Ted is doing better.

I worry about him now that he's alone.

[greatauntoftriplets]

58. I do too.

He is such a good guy.

[Generic Other]

61. If anyone can set * straight...

Andy's mom can. He needs a little straight Texas talk from a no-nonsense 85 year old woman.

[katinmn]

53. Thanks! Can't wait to put in my shift next weekend. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

54. I think I'm going up next weekend, too.

:)

[Panda1]

56. Thank you

The crosses are especially touching. :(

[nytemare]

57. Great pics, GOPisEvil!!

I wish I could go out there. This Florida Veteran is with you 100%, in spirit, anyway!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

60. I wish I could have stayed there.

But it was good to go.

[nytemare]

62. Sounds, and looks like you had a fulfilling time!

I'm very glad you could go.

[blondeatlast]

59. As always, you rock! Thanks for sharing. That guy with you looks

vaguely familiar; reminds me of beer and chicken wings somehow.

:patriot:

[GalleryGod]

64. "Old School DUers" Walkin' the Walk ! Well done, David!

I was with Kerry and the Vietnam Vets in DC for "Operation Dewey Canyon III" in 1971. I know the feeling of "history shared" you feel tonight, David!

Well done by You,Sir! Well done, indeed!:patriot:

[sundog]

65. thank you

:yourock:

[Wapsie B]

66. Great pics!

[enigmatic]

67. Great pics, bro!

How was the atmosphere? If I was still in the US, I might have made it down there...

[GOPisEvil]

71. Atmosphere? Positive, hopeful, peaceful, loving...

I'm really glad I went, and I'm looking forward to going back.

[Left Is Write]

68. Great pictures.

Thank you for sharing them - and for going there!

[GOPisEvil]

73. It was only a two-hour drive.

I couldn't NOT go. Who'd have guessed that it would be a good thing El Rancho Chimpo was so close?

[SarahB]

69. Great pics!

Great that you went as well. :thumbsup:

[uppityperson]

70. Nice pictures.

Weird thought, we'll be able to date the picts of the metal usa by the # on it at the time. Nice picts, I want to be there now. Good to see you are a real person also.

[GOPisEvil]

72. Psst...I'm just a well-done animatronic doll.

:evilgrin:

[huskerlaw]

74. Way to represent!!

I wish I could be there! Or in DC, for that matter. :cry:

Thanks for the pics, and for representing us poor souls that can't go!

[GOPisEvil]

75. Aw, man, I wish you could make it to Crawford or DC.

I'll be making another trip up there for sure. :)

[huskerlaw]

76. I wish I could too

Seriously, I feel like I'm missing out big time.

And the chance to meet GOPisEvil and Progmom and well, the many many other DUers who are going. Boo. Stupid job. x(

[GOPisEvil]

77. I'm just taking one day off for DC.

Flying out Friday, back on Sunday. Luckily for me, there are non-stops to Baltimore/Washington airport. Tell your boss I said it was ok for you to have a day off.

I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures. In fact, I'll be buying a new memory card for my camera with tons of room. :)

[huskerlaw]

78. Well, I could say...

I have another job interview. :evilgrin:

Actually, by then I better have a freaking job. Anyway, have fun and I look forward to oodles of pics. :)

[GalleryGod]

79. Well, that settles it; Dave the Official DC Staff Photographer!

How'd you wind-up on Joanie's COUCH, BTW ?:wtf:
Shortage of mool-ah($$$) ??:think:

[jus_the_facts]

81. I'd have much rather been visitin' with you two.....

....and everyone else over there...than where I was yesterday!

:yourock:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

82. Great pictures

Thanks for going and representing us well!!
