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!

[noexcuses]

GREAT!! Thank you!

[Grampa Dave]

Pinging and bumping a great thread.

Wow! The stuff you see on FR that you don't (and probably won't) see in the MSM...

[concerned about politics]

That picture of Cindy Bin Ladin says "Who profits?"
She does. She's raking in allot of cash for her favorite left wing groups. She even has hired PR handlers. Her sons body is making her rich and famous, and she's using it to the max. She could by a mansion next to John Kerry's if she uses that money wisely! They could have cocktail parties together.

[octobersky]

Awesome picture!

As that WP article noted (amazingly) Cindy has been working with the Soros/MoveOn front Fenton Communications for some time.

All three of her Gold Star Family Co-Members were propped up as "real voices" of the American people in last year's campaign against Bush:

Cindy Sheehan & Friends -- Paid George Soros Stooges?

She and her husband are separated, affected by the stress of losing their son.

My guess is he hit the road because of her incessant media dance on the grave of his son. Michael Moore and the crew at Al Jazeera cut in on his time of grieving.

[Jeff Head]

Lots of great and very important info sprinkled throughout this thread my friend...along with reorts of a really great rally.

[Sam Hill]

My last post was meant to be to you. Don't know what happened.

[Grampa Dave]

I have scanned most of the messages.

Like you said, it reminds me of Your Great Klamath Falls/Lake adventure.

[SolidRedState]

Great job. Thanks to all who made it down to Crawford.

[Jeff Head]

I hope we can sustain some presence there for however meany weeks it takes...just like at Klamath. When you do, and it is a just cause (and this is), the momentum builds and builds...just like it did there.

Just watched an interview with Bill Press the former idiot of CNN.

I was somewhat ticked that the MSM including Fox didn't give more attention to the many supporters of Bush that showed up to day in Crawford.

I responded to Fox with this letter.

Dear Fox News

Your interview with Bill Press is so one sided. Press is spinning so much BS. Sheehan is a sick woman who has major psychological problems. I didn't like Bills BS on CNN and don't like it on Fox. Want to see your ratings plunge just keep up bringing on these turds out of the radical left sewer.

So the president meets with her and say she spits or hits at him. This is a no win thing and the liberal MSM is eating up every bit of the Michael Moore anti-American production.

Also, why didn't you put a more favorable spin on the supporters who showed up today at the Bush ranch. More supporters of Bush than have been there for this disturbed woman. This woman actually supports giving aid to the insurgents who are killing brave soldiers like her son. Shame on you media, you've shown a biased liberal anti-American side one more time.

Truth is I don't trust any one in media.

Thanks for the updates, Jeff, and thanks to all who attended the rally!

[Chode]

Ohhh,Woe is me...!!!

why's everybody always pickin on me???

[conservativebabe]

Every time I see a picture with the Twin Towers in it, I get a pit in my stomach. It still seems unbelievable that 9/11 ever happened, but, it did.

NEVER FORGET

[MamaB]

I have thought the same thing for days. I have even said that the SS people need to be on their guard because there is no telling what she will do and those surrounding her. They hate this country and President Bush.

[SwatTeam]

Thanks for the ping. I've been following this off and on all day wishing I could have been there. I'm so proud of all the ones who were able to go there and show the contrast. You folks are awesome.

[granite]

Works for me.

[2nd amendment mama]

That's why FR is so important. Thanks Jim Rob! The info I have learned on here has given me the tools necessary to fight liberal/socialist scum on a daily basis. If I need reinforcement all I have to do is come here for more ammo....LOL
