The Heart of Texas Chapter is planning a return to Crawford on Saturday, August 27. Our purpose this time will be to team up with the Move America Forward Caravan, which will originate in California, and pick up supporters from across the country. More can be found about Move America Forward here:MAF

We hope that with this much advance notice, more Freepers will be able to join us this time.

I have spent most of the day trying to contact someone at MAF, but they are so busy they haven't gotten back to me yet. However, it shouldn't be hard to notice a caravan of buses and cars in Crawford, so we will be able to jump in with them with no problem.

I spoke with Police Chief Donnie today, and he really seemed happy to hear that we were coming back. We won't need a permit this time, as we will be a tag on to the MAF permit.

Everyone with suggestions for signs, tactics, etc. please chime in. This will be another Support the Troops Rally--but MAF will probably get in a little Sheehan bashing--which is fine with me!

I'm sorry I wasn't able to make last weekend's rally, but am in for this one. I have room for 3 if anyone needs a lift from Austin.

"Interesting that Sheehan refers to herself as 'we'".

She's using the royal "we"......as in Queen Victoria's comment after hearing a ribald joke, "We are not amused."

The difference today is that Sheehan is a joke, and we ARE amused.

Glad you are coming--and it's really nice that you are offering to bring others with you!

[Enterprise]

LOL - BTTT

[Enterprise]

I can give a BTTT at least!

[cweese]

Me too! I've cleared my schedule for that weekend and am excited! Anyone in Austin needing a lift to Crawford, please FReepmail me.

[lormand]

"Almost forgot to ping you two!"

But you didn't and I'm thankful.

[lormand]

...wondering what the price per person would be to charter a bus from Austin?

[Eaker]

Anyone in Austin needing a lift to Crawford, please FReepmail me.

I hate driving with humble because he drives so slow. I live in Houston, but will ride in the trunk!!

On the other hand the last time I asked TheMom why she wasn't passing a car she gave me a scornful look and informed me that we were already doing a 110mph.

Oh well!

We will see you there!

[cweese]

Hehehe...well, I drive a Landcruiser that really sucks the gas. It's not that fast, but gets you there in comfort. Plus, the sight of an SUV probably gives most of Sheehan's "friends" the vapors.

[Terriergal]

Make a sign that says "Friends of Saddam" or whatever and go stand by the Cindy Sheehan bunch if you can stand it.

[dirtboy]

HOT Chapter freepers--get some of your ideas up here--I've heard rumors of camping out, etc--LOL!

When does dove season start?

[El Gato]

in fact it's across the street from his (Bush's) church."

What are you going to do, picket him while he's in church?

BTW, it's Road, not Street. No streets out in the country. If it's the same road they have been on before, it's name is Prairie Chapel Road.

City Slicker.

Last night, Chrissy Matthews had on an Iraqi woman, who is down in Crawford with the pro-troops protestors...when she couldn't understand his questions, or didn't answer his questions fast enough...(remember she is Iraqi, and spoke English, but not perfectly)...he YELLED AT HER...He was insulting to her when she said that the Iraqi people appreciate America, and want our help...

He jumped down her throat on that comment, asking her HOW LONG she expects Americans to be over there spending OUR money and stuff...she said she didn't know.. and he said "yeah, that is the problem, no one knows..and 10 years is way too long"...

Uh...Chrissy...WHEN did we go to Bosnia? Kosovo? Don't we STILL have troops in Japan...60 years after the END of WW2? (Oh, that's right...that was a good war, because a Democrat started it.) Just damn...

[Christian4Bush]

Chrissy Boy is such a jerk. Too bad the Iraqi lady wasn't quick enough on the draw to ask him when we will stop spending money and bring American troops home from Bosnia, Kosovo, South Korea, Japan, Germany, etc. And since when has Chrissy cared about the American government spending money overseas, like the billions in aid given to Africa and the Palestinian Authority, most of which probably went directly into the bank accounts of assorted kleptocrats?

PING to Post 234. I was thinking the same thing, but credit where credit is due for your saying it first.

[Christian4Bush]

I suggest that Cindy's own wacko quotes be individually put up on huge placards, with the dates and venues she delivered them. And then another saying "Atta Girl Cindy!" with a photoshop pic of Mohammed Atta giving a thumbs up.

Great idea, but the list is way too short...Atta, OBL, Sadaam, Uday, Qusay, Castro (darling of the Left), Pol Pot (since Durbin said we're like him anyway), Idi Amin, Adolphia and most of the leadership of the Democratic Party (yes, I know that is an oxymoron)...

[Redbob]

Here's a sign idea:

Make a trial sign and walk off 30 feet or so, see if you can read what it says.

Many of the signs I see in after-action reports fail this test.

My home was one of the ditrabution spots for the We Support the Troops and President Bush signs for Harris County Republican Party even though I am from the Galveston County side. I still have 10 left so I will bring them. I saw Jared Woodfill the HCRP Chair last night
and he knows about our Freep now.
