The Heart of Texas Chapter is planning a return to Crawford on Saturday, August 27. Our purpose this time will be to team up with the Move America Forward Caravan, which will originate in California, and pick up supporters from across the country. More can be found about Move America Forward here:MAF
We hope that with this much advance notice, more Freepers will be able to join us this time.
I have spent most of the day trying to contact someone at MAF, but they are so busy they haven't gotten back to me yet. However, it shouldn't be hard to notice a caravan of buses and cars in Crawford, so we will be able to jump in with them with no problem.
I spoke with Police Chief Donnie today, and he really seemed happy to hear that we were coming back. We won't need a permit this time, as we will be a tag on to the MAF permit.
Everyone with suggestions for signs, tactics, etc. please chime in. This will be another Support the Troops Rally--but MAF will probably get in a little Sheehan bashing--which is fine with me!
That's a GREAT pic of you on your home page.
Don't be upset. She was pinging the officers. Now, can we nominate you for an office next year? :D
I am just going to have to change my screen name
This is a group effort!
I was told that service men and women are not allowed to attend these things in uniform, That's what the officer at Ft Hood told me when I called them about last week's event.

Yes, what this guy did was crude. But why get arrested for it? It is public property right? Isn't there an ordinance against erecting signs on public property? Why can't he take these crosses down, if she put them up?
I think Cindy should be forced to get permission for each cross she plants from the family of the fallen soldier she is memorializing. Otherwise we have a right to take them away. These heroes already have memorials and gravesites. This is dishonring them. IMO.
There were a couple that did show though, but not in Uniform, correct. They can't take "sides" or be political. Though we know what "side" 99% of our troops are on.
Why are the John Kerry in trainings allowed to wear unifroms though?
As I understand it, the caravan arrives on Saturday, and they are staying over and doing something on Sunday, too. Some of the freepers have mentioned camping nearby overnight--but nothing definite about that.
Placard:
"All they want to do....is give appeasement a chance."
I just think it's strange that we aren't hearing much about him.
BRAVA, basil, great going! :-)
Oooops! I thought they could, as long as they weren't saying or doing against their CIC. My bad!
So they can come in civies, LOL!
You need what kind of uniforms? Do you intend to dress people not/never in the service in uniforms?
In any case, I have a 1970's, Class A, Army coat and pants, no shirt, tie, belt, or shoes. It is a size 43R with 32 pants, both of which have shrunk several sizes while hanging in a cedar closet for 30 years!
John Kerry, yeah. He thinks he is going to run again in 2008. He might run, but he won't make it very far. He probably legitamately believes 57million people voted "for" him.
.... are any of y'all going to Crawford?
Let us know what you need, basil
I can bump and donate a little money.
I AM going this time. Wild horses, etc.
And HC, do NOT wear your uniform. The girls wouldn't be able to stand it, ROFLOL!
True but I meant the guy that ran the crosses over. You would think the headlines would be screaming with "right wing, conservative".... It makes me wonder if he wasn't one of theirs.
