a note from Jenni...
We've been receiving images from friends across the nation who have been able to attend the protests in Crawford. You can view those photos here. We'll be adding more over the coming days.
Protests move closer to Bush...
A relative of the guy who was shooting his gun in the air has given the protestors permission to move onto his property. This now puts them within a mile of Bush's ranch.
In other news, Cindy has said she doesn't want to press charges against the guy who purposefully ran over a display of white crosses. He has been charged with a felony criminal mischief count, since damage to the memorial was estimated at more than $1,500.
They are asking for a restraining order, though.
Reports say he had appeared to be dragging a pipe behind the truck to do more damage.
Residents in Crawford are throwing a fit about the protestors. Their complaint? That they don't know the background of all the people coming into their town.
They want police to "crack down" on the protestors. Last I checked the people have a right to protest, especially since the idiot in chief has decided to take a 5 week vacation.
