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!

The pic at 850 is Dr. Raul. The video on MSNBC is from yesterday.

[Huber]

Possibly, The image is pretty small on my handheld though.

[lolhelp]

Unhinged, my donkey, she is a hate-mongering liberal, who evidently loves the lime light.

[del4hope]

Has anyone reported to Drudge? I haven't seen anything over there.

[don-o]

I hope we can sustain some presence

You are aware that Mike Gallagher, on his talk show from Dallas on Friday, organized a bus trip down and back? He got that done in two hours.

OTOH, I expect that Cindy will bail any second now.

Head for DC.

Flash should be OK, I am in process to put it up on my Linux machine.

It's a relative easy install on Windows.

[Brad’s Gramma]

The easy part wasn't my concern...the safe part was.

So? Ya think it's OK......hmmmm....perhaps I'll go install the thing.

[HitmanLV]

She can be both a nauseating liberal and unhinged - they are not mutually exclusive (and in fact, dovetail nicely).

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for the screen caps!

[roses of sharon]

The KKK, LOL, they are backwards aren't they, they seem to live in a timewarp.

Which is why they are so much like the Islamic Cults.

[patriciamary]

I agree.She is a stalker!

[del4hope]

Someone will need to keep up with who is paying her tab in DC, Yes we know who her supporters are, but she needs to be followed and reported, and continually exposed with not a stone left unturned. DC be not cheap to camp out, compared to Crawford

[2nd amendment mama]

Flash is safe...believe me. I teach/repair computers...just ask basil.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks. OK. That's 2 opinions from 2 people I trust. ;)

[easonc52]

You are very welcome. All the pics so far (and the updates) are from CNTXAN (I hope I have been spelling his FR name correctly...if not, I'm am sure he will point it out later when he gets home). Please thank him and all of those who were on the ground

A definite thanks to all the FReepers (and others) who showed up for the rally!

It seems amazing that we seem to be the only ones able to get ahold of 'real' American Flags.

[deport]

More than 250 supporters of President Bush gathered for a few hours in a ditch across the street from the war protesters, who have camped out along the road to Bush's ranch since Aug. 6. Most waved American flags and held signs, including one that read, "Help! I'm surrounded by America hating idiots!"

The pro-Bush rally was organized by Darrell Ankarlo, a conservative radio talk show host for KLIF in Dallas. He also asked to meet with Cindy Sheehan, who started the anti-war vigil, but she only agreed to meet privately with Bush supporters whose relatives have died in Iraq. That meeting was set for Saturday evening.

I don't think it uses Active X, that is the entry point for a lot of malware.

[Diva Betsy Ross]
