The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.
Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.
Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.
We'll see.
Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!
One would expect nothing less from the good Doc.
Bumping your post!
Maybe that was a part of what CNTTXAN talked about. They were probably trying to gode them.
Has anyone checked out the DUmmy rally at the High School? They claim 400-500 in attendance. I find that hard to believe.
Grrrr. She'll get even more American men killed!
Now she's really pissed me off. Hanoi Cindy is no better than the terrorists.
"Sheehan, a former Roman Catholic youth minister, ...."

You read correctly.
I appreciate the updates!
LOL!!!!!!!!!
In one of the articles about her it said that she had been leader of a Catholic Youth group for 8 years. Another misguided Catholic, I'm sad to say. And I'm a Catholic too, who supports our President and our troops.
I agree...she is some what unhinged.
I wouldn't judge her if she were just 'unhinged.' But she is an anti-American leftist first and foremost, and what she is doing will bring harm to our troops, and for that she deserves condemnation.
The 'unhinged' part may well be an act for all we know. Normal grief does not act itself out in such a manner.
Don't know if you can still contact the folks on the ground, but I would like to ensure they're all aware of the story of CPT James Smith especially if they're approached by the media...
Any chance you can get this info to them?
Hey Gramma Nice gif can i use it ?
You and me both!
I am of course in Buffalo, we can support them from long distance.
Fabulous group of FReepers!
CNTTXAN just called and indicated that an individual who is with the 1st CAV just spoke and really had the crowd going. He was in the first Gulf War and just got back from another tour to Iraq with IraqiFreedom.
This is really getting some major press now.
They indicate that the other pro troop rally has over a 100 people as well...between the two rallies now between 250-300 supportters there...most of them coming with less than a day's notice.
Next major update still at 2:30 PM, Texas time.
The following is from another thread from Cindy speaking at the Veterans for Peace National Convention:
"And I’m glad to hear everybody else’s words, because somebody’s gotta stop those lying bastards. Somebody has to stop them.
The war criminals in Washington, D.C., they don’t even lose a night’s sleep. Then we have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a 5-week vacation in a time of war. You know what? I’m never going to get to enjoy another vacation, because of him.
My vacation probably - -this is really sad because I have a really cute dress I was going to wear to the banquet tomorrow night, but I’m either gonna be in jail or in a tent in Crawford, waiting until that jerk comes out and tells me why my son died.
But do you think George Bush will interrupt his vacation and go visit the families of those 20 marines that have died in Ohio this week? No, because he doesn’t care, he doesn’t have a heart. That’s not enough to stop his little ‘playing cowboy’ game in Crawford for 5 weeks.
So anyway that filth-spewer and warmonger, George Bush was speaking after the tragedy of the marines in Ohio, he said a couple things that outraged me. Seriously outraged me.
And I know I don’t look like I’m outraged, I’m always so calm and everything, that’s because if I started hitting something, I WOULDN'T STOP 'TIL IT WAS DEAD."
