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!
Go take care of your company. But come back as soon as ya can! ;)
I just talked to my mom who has been following this and told
her of AlJazeera's fondness for the Sheehan woman. Mom thinks emmigration is in order.
(Edited for content, mom ain't as sweet-natured as I.)
Yes. It is.
Mama would like her ass run out of the country, right??
CNTTXAN indicates temps are in the 90's but with shade and a breeze...and plenty of water. Having been raisd in the North Central Texas area and working my summers in the hay fields...I can say that they are having mild weather and that the good Lord blessed them with a wonderful day for the rally.
lol! I know what she means!
Oh man......God bless you Zac's mom. WHAT a picture.
Will be happy to...the list extends to all my pings. It's not too high volume...except on days like today.

28. And why in the hell are they NOT in Iraq????
F***ing little yellow-bellied chickenhawks.
Oh the irony....
I was unable to get out of town. Sorry.. I wanted to be in Crawford. I know I will be there in 2 weeks. You who are there are in our prayers.
Wish I could be there. I am in Idaho and have been taking the updates by phone from the scene.
I've been told all that speeding stuff is entirely the call of the SS. THEY are tasked with protecting the POTUS from wack-jobs like the little general and her hand maidens.
I'll never forget my very first protest in 1997.... We (hubby and me) were across the street from a swanky hotel/fundraiser for Algore. Only three of us with our goofy signs. A SS agent came out, walked to the very tip of the curb, facing us, with his back to the rich folks rolling in.... When he positioned himself so that no one but us could see his face, he broke out in a HUGE GRIN!!
....One of my favorite memories!
Not near Texas, but here's a bump
wow!

Great graphic. I'm late getting here--did you get to actually go to the rally. I've been thinking about you and hoping that you did!
TrueMajority -- an antiwar group founded by Ben Cohen, one of the creators of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -- hired Fenton Communications, a Washington public relations firm that has worked intermittently with Sheehan over the past year to coordinate media coverage.With this help, Sheehan has courted coverage from the traveling White House press corps with a news conference. A schedule of when relatives of other military casualties in Iraq are expected to join Sheehan here was distributed to reporters. Her team is coordinating an antiwar rally planned for Saturday."
Poor grieving mother my a$$. She has a public relations firm.....Just Damn!
Texas sized bump!
