is this working???
have just returned from a military exercise (ROMEX ’05) in Romania. There I met the President of Romania, a 2-star and 1-star General, shared living quarters with Romanian soldiers, participated in live fire exercises, MOUT training, convoys, and sadly, we lost one of own. I had a few regrets leaving Romania. One was leaving the gained new friends (Romanian Soldiers) whom I would call my brothers and would give my life for. The other is that I knew I was going to return to the United States where people are so spoiled they argue over who has the TV remote control. The main mode of transportation in the rural towns of Romania was a donkey towing a wagon. If they could afford it, they could upgrade to a horse and wagon. Kind of like a Pinto to a BMW. One old man riding in his wagon pulled by his donkey stopped and greeted me. I noticed his donkey had open cuts and sores on his backside. I opened my medical bag, got some Bacitracin and applied it to the wounds. I gave the remaining ointment to the old man. I felt as though I had been adopted by the way he treated and thanked me for tending to his donkey. Here’s the neatest part of it all, whatever little did these people own they cherished it and complained none. Had it not been for President Bushes’ war on terror and the alliance with Romania, I may have never had the opportunity for people of a different world to make a positive impression in my life. I will always be a supporter to President Bush and will always be ready to travel wherever I am needed. God Speed Mr. President, Mark A. Estridge SGT/TXANG
I've visited Crawford twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The residents treat us tourists like family. I think it is an honor that the Bush Ranch is in your community! John Cummins
As a sustaining member of the Republican National Committee I must say that the guest book has some interesting articles. Why some people insist on berating our fine president for the outstanding job he's doing is a source of irritation to myself and all True Americans. I really must say, "America......Love it or leave it". I have President and Laura Bush's picture proudly displayed on my living room wall along with pictures of my family. Most of us are or have been veteran's and are extremely proud of our President Bush and the present cabinet. Again I say, "America...Love it or LEAVE it. Michael L. Luce , MSGT(RET) USAF Granbury, Texas
Hi, I'm Deb from Oklahoma. I am secretary of the President's official Fan Club. I will be moving to Texas next year with my sister and am hoping to visit Crawford and the president again. You have a really nice website. Deb Bonair
MY NAME IS DURWOOD E. BARNARD. I AM THE OLDEST SON OF THOMAS RENFRO BARNARD WHO WAS BORN IN 1917 IN CRAWFORD,AND WAS RAISED THERE. HE WAS THE SON OF THOMAS PORTER AND JOHNNIE RENFRO BARNARD WHO WERE LIFELONG RESIDENTS. MY COUSIN, TROY BROWN, FROM HOUSTON, AND I SPENT MANY A FUN SUMMER IN CRAWFORD IN THE LATE FORTIES AND EARLY FIFTIES. WE SWAM AT THE FALLS, FISHED THE BOSQUE AND HUNTED UP AND DOWN WHAT WE CALLED THE TWO FIFTY B CREEK BED. THE ANDERSONS LIVED NEXT TO MY GRAND PARENTS AND THE SHROEDERS UP THE STREET. MOST OF THE OLD TIMERS ARE GONE NOW BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. WHAT GLORIOUS DAYS THOSE WERE. I CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY PRESIDENT BUSH AND LAURA PROUDLY CALL IT HOME. IT HASN'T BEEN THAT LONG AGO I COULD MENTION THAT MY FOLKS WERE FROM CRAWFORD TX. AND THEY WOULD SAY. WHERE ? I ONLY WISH MY DAD, HIS BROTHER (JACK) AND TWO SISTERS (DOROTHY AND MARTHA) COULD HAVE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE PRESS THAT THE OLD TOWN, THAT THEY LOVED AND BRAGGED ABOUT, WAS GETTING NOW. THEY HAD MANY HILARIOUS STORIES ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THAT LITTLE COTTON TOWN JUST OUTSIDE OF WACO. WITH WARM FEELINGS. DURWOOD BARNARD GRAND PRAIRIE, TX.
really did enjoy browsing through this website, and I found it through "ask.com". My mother's maiden name happens to be "Crawford". Wish I could visit Crawford, Texas sometime in the future, but it will take a miracle. Betsy L. Moultrie, GA
My name is Armando Vega and I live in Southern California. I am a Cuban-American who has lived in this great country of ours for the last forty-two years. I am very proud of the USA and I support President Bush 100%. I strongly believe that his leadership has made our country safer and the next four years are going to be even better. I don't know if President Bush will get a chance to read this short letter; if you do, Mr. President I want to thank you for all your hard work, leadership, patriotism, and the one thing we have in common besides being Republicans, The Love For The USA. May God Bless You and your entire family. Respectfully, Armando R. Vega
Crawford, Texas, Howdy! As lovely a town as we have ever seen. This is why W got re-elected, Americans are in need of small town America and all that it represents. As parents and grandparents we are always trying to get the children back to the basics of life in these United States, President Bush has helped this along, We are one grateful family that our leader has not and will not back down. This attribute is one we we admire the most. Thanks to all of you for sending us someone to stand tall! C&A Palleschi Massachusetts
Hello from Munich (Bavaria-Germany). We say Texas is Bavaria of USA. The same beautiful area and the same nice and religious people. We are very happy about the reelection of your President. God bless George W. Bush and his family. Family Doctor George Zilk, Munich
Dear Crawfordites, I really enjoyed perusing your website, particularly the photos of life in Crawford, which I'll be sharing with the Wawasee Kiwanis Saturday when I give the program on, who else but George W. Bush!! I'm just one of the thousands of Hoosiers still rejoicing that your favorite son will be our "President for Four More Years!" Now we finally have the proof that he truly represents the values of small-town America! Sara McKeefer Syracuse Indiana
Dear Crawford: My husband and I would like to thank you for presenting this site. I had no idea it existed and I was so happy and pleasantly surprised to hear about it. I saw the mugs on Fox & Friends today (11/5/04). I went to the store first and was very interested. But the real pleasure came from the photos on the site. I called my husband and told him to go the site. Since we have always loved the Bushes (all of them) and we have been profoundly proud of them (W especially) and him to be so warm and real, your website gives us the opportunity to actually feel as if we live there and are friends, just up the road. My husband is a professor and I am an administrative assistant on a very liberal and democratic campus. These academics would never be able to understand the real people who make up the real America. I try to explain, but it is too hard for them. We go to Galveston all the time, but we take the route down 59, 259 then 269. We will start a new path, now. We like to travel on those less traveled roads. They are more fun, and only take an hour longer. Hope to meet some of you when we come to visit Crawford -- if you don't mind us rubber necks. By the way, we are from Fayetteville, Arkansas. I am a Texan. My husband is an Okie (I forgive him), and we love Bush and we appreciate your love for him. Thank you. Jerry and Suz Wall.
Hello from the Last Frontier!! I have family in Austin, TX and am hoping that we can make a drive up to Crawford to take a look around. We'll be visiting TX at Christmas. Don't know when this oppernunity will come up again so I'd really like to visit your little town. From all the web sites I've seen on Crawford it looks like a real nice friendly little town, can't wait to visit!! Melissa Reimers Wasilla, Alaska
DEAREST PRESIDENT BUSH AND MRS. BUSH, I AM PUTTING THIS ELECTION IN GOD'S HANDS AS YOU DID IN 2000 AND I KNOW YOU ARE DOING NOW. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL GUIDE THE COUNTRY ON THE COURSE OF THE BEST DECISION FOR PRESIDENT. I AM ASSUMING YOU WILL BE MY PRESIDENT FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU SINCE TAKING OFFICE. YOUR DECENCY AND LOVE OF COUNTRY AND IT'S PEOPLE COMES THRU YOUR EYES. MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND AND CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA WITH YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE. MOST REPECTFULLY, YOLANDA TERMINI, NEW YORK
God Bless President Bush!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 11/03/04 My name is Kimberly Marie Welch and I am a 28 year old mother of 3 small children, and the proud wife of a Marine Sgt. serving his second tour in Iraq. I wanted to let the President, his family, and his community of Crawford know how proud we are to be serving under his command, the last four years and now the next four. I knew it would be next to impossible to do that, by trying to contact him via e-mail or letter, so I decided to give this a try. I have been wanting to go into the military myself and serve as an officer in the United States Marine Corps, but put it on hold due to the fact that if there was a possibility that John Kerry may win, I didn't want to serve under his command. Now I know that my decision to join is the right one, and I use Mr. Bush's re-election as a positive sign to do so! We are proud to serve America, and proud to serve under our Commander-In-Chief! Thank-you for giving me the opportunity to say this, and again congratulations on the re-election of President Bush. Sincerely, Kimberly M. Welch

The world criticised America for NOT becoming involved in WW2 (until 1941) The world criticised America for becoming involved in Korea The world criticised America for becoming involved in Vietnam The world criticised America for NOT becoming involved in Cambodia The world criticised America for NOT becoming involved in Rwanda The world criticises America for becoming involved in Iraq
The circle continues....
Luly Avalos your town look beautiful!!

The people who run this board must be really true Americans who very seriously believe in the rights of Free Speech, because they allow people like you to leave your anti-American, Nazi propaganda messages on this board.
To all the Adolphs out there.....You lost in 1945....Deal with IT!!!!!!!
Crawford should be proud to be the hometown of President George W. Bush. May God Bless Our Troops and Our President..
Great Site! Nice Pictures of President Bush and folks in Crawford.
Steve Akers Houston
Why aren't there any signs designation that Crawford is the home of President Bush as you come into town? We were there 2 years ago and saw no signs. We were disappointed, as we wanted to at least drive President Bush' ranch.
Ron Abfalter, East Jordan, Mi. Ok all ready, 15 minutes are up. Get over it. I am sure the people of Crawford are good in spite of duby and the mayor.
As much as we don't like it the Dixie Chics are only speaking the truth.
We all should support out troops. They are only doing their job.
As far as Bush goes thats optional. Why is it Bush is after all countries with weapons of mass destruction and at the same time he is getting ready to use a new bomb called MOAD which is a weapon of mass destruction. Who is the evil one ?
I voted for Bush the first time and will the 2nd. He's a good man.
Hello! Just doing a little research, great 2 see a place thats my surname! lol from Lee Crawford
What about the Mayor's freedom of speech? Give me a break! The group would get much more coverage in a big city like DC. Don't like Texas? Stay away.

God Bless Crawford. Had a chance to come thru Waco once and the next time we'll take a side trip to Crawford.
I am from Crawford Texas...and I am proud to be an American and proud to have George W. Bush as our Commander in Chief. Lets stand behind him and our troops that are out there to give us FREEDOM. The President does not pretend to know it all..that is why he has his Qualfied Advisers...don't you think they might know alittle more about the world affairs than most?
oh, as far as the Dixie Chicks go...they just might consider me as one less fan...their CDs that I own have just found a new home....the trash can.
God Bless our President and our military people out there!
Kay from Crawford
Proud To be an American!!!
I live in Crawford Tx and it is a great place to live and to have a family....I also think that it is country but close enough to a town where we can have fun haha
The Dixie Chicks thought that they were country... Well now their going to have to get a new name, new style, and a QUIETER MOUTH! I don't know what they were thinking when they said that in Europe. They didn't only dis their President, but their country too. What happened to our singers? Jenny Sue
It sounds like you all don't want war with Iraq, but the fact is they threw the first punch for no flippin reason. If we don't defend ourselves then we are just going to get beat up worse next time! If you're alright with more 9-11's then keep yellin at Bush. Before you start tellin Bush what to do, think real hard, ask yourself if you would do a better job at being the "Commander in Chief" of a major country with millions of people who want so much and so many different things, and if you still think so, then go run for President. As far as I see it Bush is doin a fine job. Think about it!
God Bless! Mrs. G.S.F.
I am a Canadian and I find it amusing that you people are bashing the good people of Crawford for not supporting free speech and yet the good people of Crawford allow you to leave your negative comments on this message board. It appears to me that Crawford Texas and its people support Freedom of Speech in every way.
May God Bless America !!!
Many people are wondering...When did Texas become its' own country? Let alone Crawford and its' new polocies concerning "their" audience. Can a single black/yellow/white(oh, sorry-forgot about that one)/brown/tiedye/ overall American mutt/male/female/muslim/budhist/satanist/athiest/ etc., etc., etc. still visit this website and get real views and opinions of how this city stands on political issues? With Dubya being the overwhelming majority reason to visit, this place seems obligated to share. We'd love to read the mayor's views on many topics-other than freedom of speech-late night t.v. isn't as funny anymore. UH-BUH-BYE!!!!
Hell'o Crawford. It well sure be nice when George W. Bush becomes a full time resident in your anti first amendment town. The world will be alot better. Stock will go up, unemployment will go down, deficit will go down. Peace will be world wide. Sorry George you'll just have to tell daddy you tried.
My name is Ginny Flake and I am 14 years old. I am from Pinetop, Arizona.I have a huge amount of respect for President George and Laura Bush, and I just wanted to know a little more about their roots. So I was looking at a map of TX. and couldn't find Crawford on it, so I searched for a map on the internet and this is what I found. I think this is a neat site. I think it is great that you all put in the effort to make this and show some pictures. Your town seems like a place where I would like to go. I come from a small town like Crawford and I think it would be interesting to go there. Ever since I was little I have wanted to live in Texas, so now that I have done some looking in on Crawford it has become part of my list of towns that I would like to visit. Great stie, Ginny Flake
crawlforit,texas HOWDY.my name is abdul nahad
It's appauling to think that you Texans' believe you have to keep a "eye" on a house of peace. Do you also NOT allow any churches or houses or worship in your town as well? Those are houses of peace and love also. I don't think what you are pushing there in Texas is very American. When did you people turn American values into Nazi values? Where did freedom of speech fall by the wayside? This is an American's constitutional right. Seems like Texan rights are very different from the rights of the rest of the country. It's shameful that your mayor is so hateful and disrespectful of the constitutional rights of Americans. Looks like he thinks it's alright to speak his mind without persecution. It's a two way street, if he's got to keep his eye on the Peace House, then he won't mind if the rest of the world keeps an eye on his house of anti peace. The majority of the world is very interested in peace. If your mayor is not interested in American values, maybe he should check out living in other countries that do not allow people to speak their minds. Maybe like Iraq. Is that why he is so gung ho about getting in there?
I don't know how welcome tourists are going to feel coming to Crawford with one of your most influential people in office there, making public statements about his distain for people who feel they can speak freely.
I'll pray for the people of Crawford who agree with your mayor. I hope one day you will take pride in knowing that this country you live in does provide freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of choice and if you can't find it there at home, there are plenty of other places in THIS country that you will be able to find it. That those places will welcome you with open arms and open minds. Peace and love begin at home, each one of us are responsible as embassidors to spread that to those of us around us.
There are problems we have now, great ones. But stopping American's freedom of speech is not one of the things people need to fear.

...concerning the "Peace House:" - - - - Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell told the Dallas Morning News the town will keep a close eye on the peace house. ... "We're not going to let them turn the town into a three-ring circus," Campbell told the paper. "If they want to protest, let them go to Washington." - - - - Dear Mayor Campbell, As the highest local executive authority, your statements, showing a profound ignorance of and/or disregard for the First Amendment's freedom of assembly and speech. If people want to protest, they can do it at the property neighboring "President" George W. Bush's ranch, in Washington, from their home computers, or wherever they wish in the public sector. Your idiotic statement is an embarrassment to your community.
Though you appear to be unable to comprehend such a sentiment, democracy EQUALS dissent, and if anything you should be encouraging people to pursue their own interests, to voice their opinions. People of intellect and awareness shake their heads and chuckle at you, and thanks to your representation of Crawford, the entire community.
You may plan to keep an eye on the Peace House, but don't think for a moment that organizations with much greater influence and legitimacy than your own feeble mind will be keeping an eye on your activities as well.
Most sincerely, Mason Tromblee Atlanta resident and critical thinker

Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell told the Dallas Morning News the town will keep a close eye on the peace house. Campbell was not immediately available for comment.
"We're not going to let them turn the town into a three-ring circus," Campbell told the paper. "If they want to protest, let them go to Washington."
I guess that in Crawford, "You don't need no stinking firt amendment."
Once in Denver I saw this and couldn't understand why someone would write it. Now I understand, thanks to your mayor. "Texas, south till you smell it then west till you step in it."
PLEASE, PLEASE, tell you mayor to be less of a nazi and more of an American.
Hi, my name is Ron Abfalter. I live in East Jordan, Michigan. I don't mean to be insensitive to your mayor. I really think he missed the mark with his recent comments on the peace house. That man in Washington (dubya) has put the country back many years. We really need to look to the rest of the world for peace as we seem in short supply here.
NO WAR, Give peace a chance. Your site is very nice.
It is really too bad that you are going to have to put up with a man who wants peace. I know that you are much happier with King George. I don't think that Christ would be welcome in Crawford either.
It is so nice to see that the people of Crawford Texas support those good old American values such as 'FREE SPEECH'. (see excerpt from Reuters News Service below)
Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell told the Dallas Morning News the town will keep a close eye on the peace house. Campbell was not immediately available for comment.

I read today that your mayor says that if people want to protest they should go to Washington (instead of Crawford). I find that curious. One would think the first amendment would be alive and well in the home of the President of the United States. The mayor is certainly entitled to his opinion, but the way he expresses this implies that he's going to be a bit of a bully about dealing with anyone that protests. I encourage you to consider electing a new mayor that shows a bit of tolerable maturity, or send him out for sensitivity training. You obviously want to commercialize off the President, so you might not get to pick and choose the kind of attention you get in the end. Let's hope everyone in your community stays peaceful. That's what I'm praying for. Just because we have an enemy (Saddam) doesn't mean that we need to trash the rights and responsibilities of our own citizens. Good luck.
Saw this article. Sounds like a great idea. I hope it attracts a lot of positive attention. DALLAS, Texas (Reuters) -- President Bush has a new neighbor in Crawford, Texas -- a peace activist who plans to use his house near the president's ranch as a springboard to speak out on issues such as a war with Iraq. John Wolf, a peace activist from the Dallas area, recently completed paperwork to buy a home in Crawford, a town of less than 1,000 people. He plans to use the facility as an interfaith peace house that can serve as a base to launch peace protests near the ranch Bush calls the Western White House. "I wish the peace house was already up and running," Wolf said. The house, near city hall, is one of the first structures T that visitors to Crawford see after passing along a sign on the highway that welcomes people to town and reminds them it is the "Home of President George W. Bush". Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell told the Dallas Morning News the town will keep a close eye on the peace house. Campbell was not immediately available for comment. "We're not going to let them turn the town into a three-ring circus," Campbell told the paper. "If they want to protest, let them go to Washington." Wolf said people of many different faiths, such as Muslims, Catholics and Quakers, will work out of the house. He plans for the facility to have a peace garden, a media center and facilities for interfaith worship. The house was purchased for $54,000 and is about seven miles away from the front entrance of the Bush ranch. "We are anything but threatening," he said.
Too bad you have that moron president visiting your beautiful city. I think that the new neighbor of GWB should protest as much as possible from his new house. If he want's to protest he shouldn't have to go to Washington as your mayor said. Texas is part of the USA and he should be able to speak his mind there. I don't know what kind of education your mayor has but he needs to take a second grade social studies class that way he can focus on the First Amendment. Cody Yost
i think you have done an excellent job developing your website. Very informative.
Unfortunately we do not agree on the Presidents need to rush into Iraq but that is why we live in a democracy.

I came lookin to see if I could get some idea of where the pres gets his strange ideas. I hope he comes back to stay forever real soon. It would be the best thing that ever happened for this country.
We are heading to San Antonio to visit our son so thought we might take the scenic tour through Crawford. I was excited to find your web site. It was very helpful and informative. We look forward to visiting your town soon.

Howdy! We are fixin to move to the Great State of Texas from Indiana. We are checking as many web sites as possible to find a job for me. My husband already works for a company in Houston. Of course I had to check out Crawford, TX. I voted for President George W. Bush. He's the man. I totally believe in him and back him all the way on the upcoming war with Iraq. Let's kick some buttocks and get our heroes back home, safely. Melanie Driscoll Indianapolis, Indiana
Howdy Texas iam from Germany and Iam just interrested in politics so I found out that Bush comes from Crawford and then I searched that page with google. Hope that the relationship will be good in future between Germany and USA. This is a really nice page!!! Greetings!
We just returned from a Texas vacation and Crawford was on our itinerary. This past Monday, February 17th we visited with Larry at the Crawford Country Style and stopped at the Fina station for lunch. Then we drove around to the Prairie School and the outer ranch area and farm road near the Western White House.
Vesta and Alan Rand--Yarmouth, Maine
Our Waco friends told us to visit here
Howdy partner, it is great to know that we have a Texan for President. We have lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the past 15years and will be glad to be back home in Texas for good in October. Andrew and Brenda Marosi.
I would like to see what type of shops you have in town Thanks
I've been to Texas twice--El Paso and drove through the Panhandle. Great state and the people are friendly! Since I see Crawford on CNN sometimes and it looks very scenic, it reminded me of the panhandle a little bit. I had always wanted to know where Crawford was and was certain it was in the panhandle-but I was wrong! I can't believe that you have a small town that close to the capital-That is great!
I live about an hour north of NY city and can remember 30 years ago when my town was just onion farms and we had a population of about 2,000. Now, we have traffic lights, McDonalds, and are about 11,000--so it seems like a metropolis to me. My coworkers in NYC and Westchester county always tell me how rural my area is and I remember way back when it really was! To me, my town has more than quadrupled!
I was glad to find a website with your information on it, but I can't blame you if you keep a good thing there in Crawford to yourself--so you can keep Crawford the way you like! Urban sprawl is a tough thing! Keep those spaces wide open if you can!
Best of wishes!
Sincerely, T. Smith Sugar Loaf/Chester, NY
I enjoyed going to crawford when my family was stationed in Tx.The people was friendly and very out going I would say President bush picked a real good place to have his ranch. Just wish my children would have had the chance to meet one of the greatest people in the world so they could look back and say you know when bush was president we was able to spend a few moments with him. while being stationed in TX....either way You did a good job and I loved TX especially a town that made you feel at home like Crawford....Thx to all you down home folks for being so kind to out of towners.
very nice web page !!!!!! thanks ben royston seminole,tx

I loved the town!!

I love this web site. It's very informative. The only thing I would change is updating the pictures more and take more pictures of Crawford. After checking this site out I decided with a friend to travel to Waco and Crawford to see some sights. What a neat little town. I will definitely be back soon. I heard about crawford.tx just by doing some internet searches. Susan from Alvarado, TX
Hello From Lapeer Michigan, originally born and raised in Port Hope, Michigan. Port Hope is also a little town on the shores of Lake Huron, North of Habor Beach, Michigan. North of Port Huron, Michigan. After graduating from high school in Port Hope, I moved to Port Huron, where my Grandpa ran the Harrington Hotel as a bell boy. The hotel is tell in operation and it house's a lot of the elderly. After about 10 year's there, I met my husband and I moved to Lapeer, Michigan. Just North of Pontiac, Michigan.
The first time I heard of Crawford, Texas is when Mr. Bush became President Bush and after the Columbia broke apart over Texas, I began my search on the map in my road atlas book. I think it is a very good town, with smart people generating out of it. One of these days I may have that same dream, if not I will leave it up to my kids or grandkids.
It has been a pleasure to chat awhile! From Michigan, and The Arnold's in Lapeer.
It was a pleasure to visit Crawford last February. It's a nice place to see and can see why Mr. Bush and his family would want to be there. We look forward to passing through again, maybe even this February. Best to all Mr. and Mrs. Mark J. Coleman Harwich Ma.
I enjoy visiting your website and am a huge admirer of the president and first lady. However, it would be nice to see some new things. January is almost over and the last posting was in November. Were there any special activities over the holidays while the first family was there? How about some pictures of the town's holiday decorations? Anyway, your town looks wonderful and I would love to visit sometime. Suzanne Sieloff, Taylor ,Michigan
Enjoyed your website; you've done a good job with it. I'll be visiting long-lost relatives in Hamilton and McGregor, Texas in March and plan on visiting Crawford also; so it was nice to find your web site via Google. Kay Coffman, Boise, Idaho
Hello President and Mrs Bush. This is the third time I have visited the site. Please post some pictures of the Bush ranch. Also an address to send cards to would be nice.

Crawford is truly a beautiful part of Texas! I hope to visit President Bush's ranch one day!
Dear Crawford Texas, I love your website! I think that President Bush is doing a excellent job as the leader of the United States! Keep up the good work Mr.Bush! God Bless America!
Hello from Florida, home of Jeb Bush. We are planning a trip next week to Crawford just to see where GW lives. We are in San Antonio right now and wouldn't miss the opportunity for the world. Looking forward to seeing your town.

Dear Crawford, Texas, I enjoyed you guest book and the photographs very much. I was born in Killeen. I hope to visit the ranch one day or to meet the President G. Bush. thanks, Carla from Montegut,Louisana.
I'm a huge fan of President George W. Bush. I find his plain-spoken candor a refreshing update to his predecesor, and I expect most folks in Crawford are the same. My name is Michael Cochran, and I'm from Granite City, IL. I live right across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, MO.
GO GEORGE!
We are so thankful to have a wonderful President and First Lady in the WhiteHouse. We pray for you every day. Thanks,The Milletts Fort Worth, Tx
An absolutely wonderful website. I've never been to Crawford, but I lived in the Temple/Waco area back in the 80's-a wonderful place! Mr. Bush:Thank you for everything, words alone aren't enough to express the gratitude of our wonderful nation. Go Army!! Major Daniel Caponera USAR
Ok, I have sent some Bush2004 <a href=http://W-04.com>http://W-04.com</a> Lapel Stickers and bumper stickers to the Coffee Shop. I hope to see some of them in the photos the next time the President visits.<P> <a href=mailto:TeamLeader@w-04.com>TeamLeader@W-04.com</a>
I wonder if you could show some pictures of Mr. Bush's ranch, and also how visitor can vist the area near his ranch.
I have relatives in Texas and at one time, when my former husband was in the US Army, we lived on base at Fort Hood as well as Killeen, TX. Texas has always been one of my favorite states. I recieved a letter fgrom President Bush when he was Governor of Texas. Now recieved letter from President Bush as I faxed info to his scheduling office to be heard on how my civil rights were violated by the military as I served in US Army, joined as nurse and was trained by military as a mechanic in an all coed unit. President Bush has informed me is sending my complaint to the appropriate agency. Donna Crowder(m.k)& Jean Nelson (m.k) 750 east 23rd street Merced, Calif 95340

Martha Timberlake (nee Garcia) formerly of Robstown, Texas now residing in Phoenix, Arizona I wasn't sure where Crawford was, so this was helpful.
John C. Kennedy, Albuquerque, New Mexico USA. Heard about Crawford by news of President Bush residence. Looks great, may visit somday.
Happy holidays Crawford, Texas! I was just surfing the web today and happened onto this site. It is a very interesting site. I live in Brantleyville, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham, but I was born and raised in Taloga, Oklahoma. My husband has worked in the oilfield all of his life and a few years back we stayed close to Crawford while he was working. I thought it was a very nice area and the people were very friendly. The pictures you have on your website are very nice. The land there is beautiful. May the new year be filled with lots of happiness for all of you. Sincerely, Robin Lowery
I am gathering info on Crawford, TX for my Science Club Project. Jessie Sneed Austin, Tx

Christmas is a time of peace, so I hope that our world finds peace at least ,in this wonderful time, in a world full of hate and battles! MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy Holidays!

I was looking for the brand for President Bush's ranch I was wanting to send him a picture that my wife Johnnie Sue took of the American Flag and the water tower of our hometown Freedom Okla.I make picture frames out of old wood and I thought it would be nice to know his ranch brand so I could burn it on the frame. P.S. I'm an old retired Military and recently retired old cowboy Smiley Olson Cimjct@pldi.net
I Like This Web Site The Photos AAre Good
It's very refreshing to see that the President calls this "non pretentious" town, home! When I see the national media outside his ranch it's like any other place in the midwest... with old hay bales, and farm equipment. Not your typical POLITICAL BACKGROUND, with the perfect steril polish that gives just the right(?)image. This is a wonderful insight as to what comforts one of the most powerful men in the world. Simple pleasures! Thanks Crawford... Don't lose your charm. J.(age.29)-OKC, OK
I was thrilled to find this site last year. Was looking for pictures of my uncle's barber shop and was excited to see it in the first pictures of downtown. Sorry I didn't sign the guest book sooner, but sent to my mom and brothers, and other family and friends. Have seen that my mom wasted no time in signing. Sorry my grandmother (Ozella Sparkman) had to move to a rest home in Waco, but glad she had the opportunity to meet the president prior to becoming too ill. Have wonderful pictures hanging on my wall to add to our family tree.
Love you all and glad for reminders of childhood memories.

Hello! I just spent a few minutes looking at your website and Crawford looks like the ideal all-American town! Sure wish I could visit soon. I am a huge supporter of the President and just adore Mrs. Bush! I live in the ultra liberal metro Detroit (Michigan) area and I enjoy sparring on the issues with my neighbors. Please tell the President to keep up the good work! He's also easy on the eyes!!!
My mother asked me to search the internet and find if there are any tours that show you the ranch where President Bush spends his free time.. could some one please email me at johntlk@hotmail.com with information.. Thx
My wife & I visited Crawford last summer and was amazed at how well the traffic was kept under control with only one stop sign. ;-)
I was looking for someone that I could mail some Bush2004 lapel stickers to in Crawford, Tx. Can someone help me? See our Web Site at http://W-04.com
We voted for President Bush in the last election, and I was just looking to see exactly where Crawford,Texas is located at in the great state of Texas. I was especially interested in the Crawford Store location since my husband is a Crawford, and my two sons are Crawfords. My grandfather, Merrill Ray Atkins,Sr. and his wife whose maiden name was Thornton lived in Brownsville,Texas for many,many years and I have some nieces and nephews there,I think. I loved the photos of the area, but haven't visited Texas,Yet! My husband was stationed there in the Air Force many years ago. My Uncle is O'Dell L. Welch of Charleston,SC. Love your site, and I think President Bush and his family have worked really hard for our country. Love the name Crawford. God Bless America!

Hi Crawford my name is Kerry Lehsten. My father was Red Holmes from Crawford Texas. I saw the picture in the USA TODAY of President Bush in Crawford Texas and was wondering who the locals were in the picture. If any relatives would like to respond my e-mail address is dclehsten@msn.com. I would like to hear from long lost relatives.
We are so happy about the results in the midterm-elections!!!! 2004-BUSH FOR PRESIDENT!!! BUSH WE LOVE YOU!MAY GOD BLESS!
You do know that your time on this guestbook is an hour off right? I mean for us Texans that is. Go GWB!!!!God Bless.
VOTE GEORGE W BUSH IN 2004...REPUBLICANS RULE...I AM VERY HAPPY AT THE RESULTS OF THE NOV 5TH ELECTIONS.
This is a way cool site. I live in Killeen. My husband is stationed at Ft. Hood. I hope to visit Crawford soon. I don't think I've actually been in a town that small. My hometown of Mancelona, MI was pretty small and it had 3000 people. I hope to stumble across our awesome president's ranch while there. I just want to see it. I think it's cool that I live so close to him. Yeah I know that sounds corny. GO ELEPHANTS!!!--even cornier.
I forgot to mention in my prior message that I am for 2004 Election of our President. I am also glad that President Bush is acting on our crisis in the Mid East and not just reacting to another aftermath. Thank God the Americans have a positive leader and family for the citizens. debijo@hot1.net
Hi, I found this web page by trying to find the location of my voting prec. to vote. #32! I found the Viking Elementary School so I could vote my fellow Republicans in office. I just love the Bush family and I am so glad that they are bringing the morals back to the United States. They have been such a God-send for our Country. As far as you'all in Crawford; well you seem to be very well organized and sweet people to be home of my President and his family. I do not think that they could of picked a better community in Texas to make their home. I have lived in Waco for about ten years and they seem to lack all the morals and realism they you 'all have. Please do not change and stay proud. Debi Jo Malzer
Today is midterm election! VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!!!
