A pro-troops/pro-Bush rally will be held this Saturday in Crawford, Texas by Killeen radio station KLFX 107.3 FM and sister station KWTX 1230 AM.
The rally will begin at noon and will be held at a parking lot next to the Crawford Bank. Free hamburgers and sodas will be given away until supplies are exhausted.
A spokesman for KLFX said that those who are calling this an anti-Cindy Sheehan rally are wrong. The station wanted to have an event to offer a means for the public to show their support for the troops serving at nearby Fort Hood and their commander-in-chief in contrast to the antiwar/anti-Bush protesters descending on Crawford this week.
The station says the free cookout is meant to tweak the leftist 'hunger-strikers' in Crawford, not make fun of Cindy Sheehan.
yes, the rally is pro troops and pro Bush and I think it should be. But I still think some Freepers need to get out there at some point on do a protesting of Sheehan right next to where she is at.
I tried to look up the YR online. Their website SUCKS! Dead links and poor layout. And I'm a freakin member! LOL
If I got down to Crawford this Sat it wouldn't be till 2pm or so cause i got plans going on before that. So, i doubt it will be worth it to drive down that late, but if i could i would cause I live in Dallas and I want to be there!
Bump!
It's a long ways for me but my mom lives in Waco and I haven't seen her lately. Thinking about it.
Thank God. I hope the rally is full of people and loud as possible!
Don't know for certain if we will be able to make it but we'll darn sure try!!
That doesn't sound encouraging. I suppose the summer semesters are probably not a good time to catch most of the stoonts there, eh? Other ways to try to contact some/any of 'em as a group?
FGS
Go on! Take yer Mama! You'll both be glad you went. :-)
If you knew my momma you might think differently. I took her to a "he's my president" protest rally in 2000. I was scared she was going to get my butt kicked!.
Now THAT sounds like a good time! :-D Wish I were a few states closer, I'd join the party.
Dang! Wish I could go, but we have to take my husband's daughther back to her mom's house by noon and they live northeast of Waco. Phooey.
1) Change the time.
2) If no luck with #1, then Greyhound! :-)
Oh shucks! Frustrating, isn't it? Wish I could just hop over there from CA...
Hey, BB! Come on down and I'll meet ya there. I'll be in Abilene on Friday and it's just a hop, skip and a jump down to Waco--then Crawford..........I wish!
Darn it--I actually have to work on Saturday and on Sunday, or I would maybe try for it. Thanks for the ping-a-ling!
I so wish I lived near enough to attend. Please know I'll be with you in spirit, my FRiends!
Any way you guys can roast a pig? Too bad it's summer or you could wear furs!
Wish I could too!
If you would---I would, BB!! Somehow!
Don't think the kiddies would want to go, do ya? It'd be loads of fun!!
