Was Pro-Bush Rally in Crawford yesterday in/on your local news?

Posted on 08/20/2005 8:53:32 PM PDT by TexasValerie

Hello everybody!

I found FreeRepublic on the DU website who's members are bashing both of our websites. That's why I am placing this post here.

I am the webmaster of www.Crawford-Texas.org and one of the organizers of a Pro-Bush, Pro-Military rally in Crawford yesterday. We collected 32 bed sheets filled with notes to President Bush along with signatures. There were about 100 posts on each sheet, which made that around 3200 well wishes!

There were about 150 supporters that walked down Prairie Chapel Road and presented them to a White House staffer at the Secret Service barricade on behalf of the President.

All the national news organizations were there to cover it, but I have not seen anything in the news her other than two small paragraphs at the end of a long article about "Camp Casey" in the Waco Tribune Herald. Here's where you can read their article:

(If you go there, be sure to vote in their poll asking if President Bush should meet with Cindy. The DUers are way ahead! It's way down on the bottom of the page near where our two paragraphs are.)

I was wondering if any of your local newspapers or television stations ever even mentioned the Pro-Bush rally? I must tell you, we are getting discouraged here with all the media attention they are getting!

There are several people that go out every day and stand in the "Right" ditch in the blistering heat. We are looking for a way to receive donations to be able to erect a few tents for shade and maybe even rent a port-a-potty of our own instead of having to go all the way back into Crawford.

Anyway, I was really hoping if any of you did see anything in your newspapers that you might be willing to send the articles to me. My address is:

Valerie Duty PO Box 116 Crawford, Texas 76638

Don't worry about me posting my name and address here... they already know who I am and have posted it on DU after doing a whois search on my website.

I hope you can help me...it would be a great moral boost to actually see some press on our side!

Sound of one hand clapping.....

At least that's the case in the old MSM who isn't about to say anything about this. They are too busy helping to promote the movie "The 40 Year Old Virgin". Which is, of course, much more important.

Haven't seen anything here. Everything is all pro Cindy. It's hard to get the truth out with the media so unbalanced.
