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!

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?

I have just gotten in touch with Robert Dixon who is heading the caravan. He says we should meet in Waco. As soon as he gets back to me with a time and place to meet, I'll be making that announcement. It still make take another day or two, though, as that poor man is up to his eyeballs with emails to answer!

He did tell me that he is monitoring this thread.

I have an idea... How about All cars/vans/etc going to Crawford put a large C in one of the windows so we can identify each other on the road?

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.

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.

So a shehaan counter rally is OK this time?

I know alot of people who didn't go before because they were told flat out NOT to come if they had a problem with the shehaan liberal quack of the week lady.

Apparently, a local rancher has allowed Ms Sheehan and her ilk to move to his property, which has cleared the streets

Apparently there is one idiot liberal rancher in Texas .... probably the only one
