As many as 7,000 people are expected to participate in two large rallies today in Crawford, and local law officials and the Secret Service have stepped up security to "accommodate the numbers."
While the protests are expected to be peaceful, authorities will be watching for anyone in the crowd who is "possibly not a peaceful demonstrator," said Mark Lowery, special agent in charge of the Secret Service in North Texas.
Rallies for and against the war in Iraq are expected to involve between 4,000 and 7,000 people, and some may be "celebrity types," Lowery said.
He said federal authorities have been meeting daily with the McLennan County Sheriff's Department to ensure that demonstrations do not get unruly.

Let The Games Begin!
Bless you all!
Ted's at the NYS Fair tomorrow.
How many anti-war protestors are there now? How many of them expected? Story makes it sound like the anti-war protestors will not be dwarfed
If this is going to turn into another Vietnam type protest effort by the left, I sure hope the right pulls out all the stops and dwarfs their numbers about ten (or more) to one.
Never again should the Vietnam style protests be allowed to shape U.S. policy for a decade or more.
Ted is out of town, but his wife is there and on Hannity's radio show yesterday.
\ A shaved head and swastika tattoos should be a give away.
The movement triggered by Sheehan is likely to have a lasting effect even after the crowds disperse from Crawford, said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.For Sheehan's star status to remain strong in the protest movement, she must keep her message "simple and sincere," focusing on her loss as a mother, Jillson said. If she becomes more politically charged and begins throwing "incendiary bombshells" at the president, "she begins to lose her effectiveness," he said.
Brian Mayes, a Republican political consultant from Dallas, said Sheehan's efforts have only motivated the "far left" activists who are "looking to relive the '60s hippie movement."
"She is equally motivating the conservative base of the country as well as turning off the middle-of-the-road people who view her as a radical, left-wing activist," Mayes said
Which US GOP Senators are going to Crawford?
They have the time off work and can well afford to buy airline tickets.
Which GOP Governors will be in attendance?
The next President of the United States will be there
and I'll vote for him or her
because they supported our troops when they need it the most.
I should go to Crawford with a lot of water and ice, and set up a "Kool Aid" stand.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that Ted Nugent has a concert this weekend somewhere in the northeast, which is why he isn't there.
Cindy Sheehan, like the so-called "insurgent" in Iraq, has no base. She is the product of David Fenton's PR firm and a complicit media. Fenton has inadvertently mobilized a massive conservative reaction while the far left groups around Sheehan shrink. They will be terrified. Ha ha.
I hope all the stores and restaraunts have stocked up sufficiently for this!! That little town is fixin to become very rich!!
let's hope there is some live coverage on the tube.
