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 just spoke to my husband and he will give the info to all his army guys and gals. He is going to ask them to contact all military personel they know in Texas. These are good folks and will help! I dont know how to freepmail Basil as I'm kinda new here and still learning this stuff.
I suggest that this Support the Troops Rally remain a Support the Troops Rally, and not a Give Cindy More Attention Rally. What's the point in having a Support the Troops Rally that focuses on those who support the enemy?
He did tell me that he is monitoring this thread.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep monitoring the thread!

I imagine we'll see you there!!! My son's already talking about it! laugh....
Tell him I said hi. It was so great to meet you both. My son wants to go this time around. :-)
I keep forgetting their "do as I say, not as I do" mantra. You live anywhere near Dilley?
This Saturday, Getmeoutta. THIS SATURDAY WE'RE GOING TO ROCK AND ROLL! ;-)

I just listened in to Air America for a minute during a commercial---and that Randi Rhodes was saying that a whole lot of mothers of sons who have died in Iraq are going to Crawford...
get this--To find out from Cindy, HOW TO GRIEVE!!!
Can ya'll beleive this, now Cindy is the "expert" on how to grieve....that is so laughable, but mostly SAD...
because I cannot imagine a WORSE way to mourn and greive..after all, she has lost her whole family over this, not just her son.
Well still trying to figure out the logistics for me... He'll be there no matter what I think..
I think this go we'll leave earlier to get there earlier... :)
We've received scores of letters from mothers and fathers of troops serving in Iraq & Afghanistan (including a half-dozen from those who have lost a child in the war) who will be attending the big rally on Saturday, August 27th in Crawford.
Another family member who cannot make it down to Crawford asked that the cross with the name of their child on it be removed from the vile anti-war exhibit as they feel this dishonors their son.
Hey Basil......I'm There.....!!!!
Apparently there is one idiot liberal rancher in Texas .... probably the only one
Terrific idea. I like that.
The only one's there when we arrived were basil and Raoul. We got there plenty early. :-)
