The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.
Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.
Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.
We'll see.
Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!
You nut...!!!
:)
Oh yes, Welcome to FR. May your stay be as wonderful as mine has been.
They all lined up for a drive out to the Bush ranch, then sat there for quite some time idling away in air conditioned bliss. Not sure how their driving out to cruise past Bush's home helps anybody fighting Islamic terror, but they seemed rather proud of themselves. Would not the globe be a little cooler if they held a virtual rally or sent the $$ they spent on themselves directly to the troops? Oh yeah, that does not play well in the media.
They guy in the pickup in this image kept driving between the peace crib and the Cindy camp with his radio playing patriotic songs.
Blastus....using wife's account.
NO. Not just for one, but for all of them. They all gave for us. A memorial for ALL those who sacraficed for us.
Been a long day - so I'm prolly not hanging in much longer. But, if somone wants to take on the Casey Memorial as a project, ping me, and we can probably get that done. Maybe at that hamburger joint near Crawford?
WOW a club Gitmo shirt! How cool is that??? Gotta send that in to Rish's album, if you haven't already!!!
Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't be there! How many attended to support the President and the troops?
'South saying he would go to Fallujah again'
wathcing Fox show too. wow. God has truly blessed us to have men like this young soldier. May God bless our wonderful, brave military and their families who sacrifice so much.
I wish I could---you truly deserve a back massage...
This special is so good....and Marine South saying he would do it all over, knowing what he has had to go through, should put the people like cindy sheehan to SHAME!
That most definitely is, wearing a Young America's Foundation (YAF) baseball shirt!
Welcome to Free Republic....you sure have made a splash!
We love new freepers like you!!!
The pictures are great!
Well, once that pic goes on the Canteen....the troops will see it.
I'll ping ya!
First off, the video was taken this morning and covered mainly Mike Gallagher's demonstration -- nothing about Freepers that I saw. Second, I use Firefox browser and had to switch to Internet Explorer to see the video. I presume I could configure Firefox, but would have to spend a bunch of time researching the issue. IMO, the video's not worth the effort.
The couple in the Gitmo shirts had their picture made in front of the peace house before the rally. I think that is the one they are going to send to Rush.
Had to chuckle about the dogs and the flag waving. He'd go for both EG.. it's just the ride getting him there. He HATE being in the car, always has. He doesn't cotton to being strapped down. That's why he did so well in the plane. He had his own seat and could move around at will.
Thank you for going to the rally. Next time I think I'll just leave the little kid at home and take out myself. I'd love to meet folks who believe and behave the way it outta be!! God bless you all for representing us.

"I said, "Okay, agreed. But will that matter come judgment day?" I got no answer."
Does this woman have any knowledge of scripture? I ask this because the "parish" I grew up in never encouraged the reading of the Bible. Only the excerpts read at mass.
It sounds like she has a limited Biblical view, for that she requires prayer. Especially when she is out there preaching a message, religious or otherwise.
sorry light was off, that's Rush's album!
