I suppose this is a good time to announce our other "mystery guest".
It is with great pleasure that I am able to say that we will also be joined by the inimitable, one and only DOCTOR RAOUL!
We are very grateful and delighted that we will have both these "furriners" in our midst.
For those of you who don't know, Tax Relief has been holding "Support our Troops" Rallies in NC for quite some time, now. Her expertise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Thanks!
Ping. Here's the info. Wish you could come. Doubt that you are in the mood for a trip right about now though.
Yes, I wish I could come too. I was thinking how much fun it would be with a bunch of FReepers and my FRiend from TX. Let me know how it goes.
Eight of us coming.
I can see why you like that one! Pretty much says it all.
Sorry, I can't make it.....but I wish you well! Good for all of you for doing this.
Thank you, basil for pushing ahead with this, thank you TaxRelief and Doctor Raoul for traveling such a great distance, and thank you also to all the Texas Freepers and Freepers from other far away places who will be standing in Crawford, TX in support of our troops as they defend us in this just and noble cause.
I will be there in spirit.
Bump will try to make it...
We're still coming. I visited with the radio station today and showed them the comments from the DU'ers - ie referring to them as "pig filth." They support the troops and will have another rally in the near future.
PING!
Freep is on in Crawford!
BRAVO!!!!! FReep the traitors and support our President and out troops!
From tonight's Drudge Report (8/11/05):
FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY!
Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET
The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.
The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:
Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish.
Thanks, Cherie
In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:
The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.
Sincerely,
Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
Developing...
Is anyone from the Fort Worth area going? If so, I'd like to try to arrange a car pool, as that's the only way I'll be able to go, and I REALLY want to be there for this.
send me a message on the site and we'll set something up.
Anyone going from NE TX - Gregg County area?
Great! Thank you very much for your dedication and patriotism!
You guys are so great. It makes a person misty-eyed to see your dedication and support. I remember your support for George W. Bush during the election 2000 fiasco. I was grateful for you guys then and grateful you are there now.
BTW, you are really a great looking bunch. So clean:)
I wish my son was going, but it would be easier to drive from here, than going into DFW. I just did not want to go alone.
I'll see you THERE! Thanks for the effort to organize this. I look forward to seeing all the great FReepers. Keep us posted on the final location...
