8/12/05 Update:
Here I am again! I just got a call from the police in Crawford, and they have moved our location! (Are you believing this? ) I need to make another prominent announcement--and hope you will help one more time. What's your opinion about starting yet another thread? We already have two going, I think. Announcement: The Crawford police have changed our permit location.
We are now being asked to congregate in the Community Center parking, in the 1000 block of East 4th St.
This is very close to where they had located us first, so, hopefully, people who don't get this message can see us and come on over. Thanks for everyone's patience with all these changing "news flashes"

THE FREEPER RALLY IN CRAWFORD IS ON!!
The Heart of Texas Chapter of Free Republic invites all patriots who support President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, to join us in Crawford, Texas this Saturday at noon for a patriotic, flag waving rally.
All who attend are encouraged to bring American, Texas and service flags, large and small, as well as signs bearing messages of support for our troops, their commander-in-chief and their mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The radio stations that were planning to hold a rally on Saturday have canceled due to outside pressure. Therefore there will be no free food or soda available like they were going to provide. So please bring your own snacks and plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages.
Please note: This rally is NOT about Cindy Sheehan. Do not bring any signs that mention her at all.
Being that Crawford is a bit hot these days, we encourage everyone attending to be on their best behavior and not do or say anything to embarrass our troops and their families. That means no cussin' and no fightin'. Seriously. If you don't think you can behave yourself, do everyone (including the Crawford police) a favor and stay home.
We are waiting to hear from the Crawford police about where we can hold a permitted rally. We have been told it will be allowed, we just need to know where exactly in Crawford that will be. We will make an announcement as soon as the location is nailed down.
In the meantime, please copy and pass this announcement along to your families, friends and e-mail lists if you think they'll want to stand up for our country on Saturday. Our troops need to hear from us loud and clear that we support them and their mission.
See you in Crawford!
We now have an assigned spot where we can gather.
There is a field with a lake that is owned by the city. We have been assigned the north end of that field--(closest to the Fina station)
We will be at the intersection of East 4th and Chisolm Trail.
Remember, the law enforcement in Crawford will be very busy, and probably over-extended. Let's make this a very orderly Freep, if at all possible.
The media will just report it as a small pro war counterprotest, in passing with none of the signs shown. The way they always do. Better to go up there and make Miss Cindy and her handlers "inform" all of us on PNAC, BFEE, LIHOP/MIHOP, etc, etc, etc and get the whole charade over with.
Thank you to Fayettesville's Finest for their service, their vigilance and their sense of humor.

We always keep it clean and always works out well, with good press coverage...
Infiltrators will be evicted, rest assured. (You can usually smell the difference, :-)
Great photos! Thank you so much for the ping and posting them, TaxRelief.
I just posted a request by Tax Relief on the TX board.
DEMONSTRATION IN SUPPORT OF TROOPS AND PRESIDENT BUSH
WHERE: Intersection of East 4th and Chisholm Trail, Crawford, TX
(Austin) The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, an independent grassroots organization, will be holding a demonstration in Crawford, Texas this Saturday, August 13, at noon to show support for America’s men and women serving in the Armed Forces, their mission fighting the war on terrorism and their commander-in-chief, President Bush.
The rally is being held to make up for the one that was cancelled by local radio stations due to outside pressure.
The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is comprised of patriotic Americans, many of whom are veterans or have family members that are serving, or have served in the military.
All who support President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere are invited to attend.
Supporters are being asked to bring American flags and signs bearing messages of support for our troops, their mission and President Bush.
You don't know that. I was treated very fairly during one anti-war counterprotest. And our military will still see people showing up against her - with no signs necessary. They'll get the message.
Lots of libs from Austin going.. I read on a u.t. foreum
We're going from Sugar Land, meeting our daughter from Dallas!
Hope the strip of grass, along the road, outside of the ranch is wide enough for them all! :-)
Us Texans know how to take the heat. Do they?????
Check your freepmail, please.
Go check your freepmail now...LOL
I wish Crawford wasn't so far away!
Good job, basil. We can appreciate all the work that goes into setting up something like this on such short notice.
It was nice seeing you again earlier this year.
FREEP ON!!!!
I am in that area of Texas and I have organized a group that currently numbers about 175 and that does not count ongoing efforts by these 175 to recruit others they know. If other groups are doing the same then we can expect well over 2500+ plus media coverage which as already been secured locally.
Check your freepmail.
