H.O.T. Chapter of FR Heading Back to Crawford (Special 8/17 PM Update pending)

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!

Great FReeper sign ideas for Crawford!

I think I was just angry because my neighbor still hasn't taken down his Kerry yard sign

Not only do I still see Kerry bumperstickers--a week or two ago I saw a Clinton/Gore one! Give it up, losers!

[Humidston]

I knew it. OUR FAITHFUL, REGULAR FREEPER!

Thanks!

Although we not in Texas, so am I. :-(

[WolfRunnerWoman]

Hey pbrown. Wow your gonna try to come all the way from Louisianna again? Wow! You're my she-ro!

[processing please hold]

Great idea.

[basil]

Great news! We can sure use the signs---and your presence, and the presence of all who you are able to send to the Heroes Rally!

He re-enlisted for a second time. This was his second tour in Iraq.

My idea of camping out in TX in August is to share a large hotel suite room and spend the evening drinking and laughing with FRiends.

Well, you never mentioned that at a HOT Chapter meeting! Ha! You and Blastus are in agreement in your views on camping in TX. Only his would extend to the whole year.

After I posted that idea...I was told (and I should have realized) that military isn't allowed to wear their uniforms at "political" type protests and stuff...dang..

BUT, I did say it would be nice if some came down in their civies so we could all thank them in person!!!

[TXBubba]

Plus, the sight of an SUV probably gives most of Sheehan's "friends" the vapors.

You will see more SUVs and other "oil burners" on the left than you can believe. They are hypocrites. It's only the little people who are destroying the earth you know. Not them.

Barring any unforeseen tragedy, to support our troops at another rally. Yes. I can be a most convincing woman when it comes to my hubby.

Dangit. Well, I think any soldier stands out in a crowd, uniform or not.

[AliVeritas]

Indeed... think Michael Moore...
Now take a shower.

Some of the freepers have mentioned camping nearby overnight--but nothing definite about that.

We all love camping. What a great idea. Shi'ite cindy didn't get permits to camp, what are they gonna do, lock us all up? :-)

[basil]

I think this is a great idea! If some of you want to camp out overnight, you certainly have my blessings. I will have to return home Saturday, though--lots of things going on at my house!
