8/12/05 Update:
Here I am again! I just got a call from the police in Crawford, and they have moved our location! (Are you believing this? ) I need to make another prominent announcement--and hope you will help one more time. What's your opinion about starting yet another thread? We already have two going, I think. Announcement: The Crawford police have changed our permit location.
We are now being asked to congregate in the Community Center parking, in the 1000 block of East 4th St.
This is very close to where they had located us first, so, hopefully, people who don't get this message can see us and come on over. Thanks for everyone's patience with all these changing "news flashes"

THE FREEPER RALLY IN CRAWFORD IS ON!!
The Heart of Texas Chapter of Free Republic invites all patriots who support President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, to join us in Crawford, Texas this Saturday at noon for a patriotic, flag waving rally.
All who attend are encouraged to bring American, Texas and service flags, large and small, as well as signs bearing messages of support for our troops, their commander-in-chief and their mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The radio stations that were planning to hold a rally on Saturday have canceled due to outside pressure. Therefore there will be no free food or soda available like they were going to provide. So please bring your own snacks and plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages.
Please note: This rally is NOT about Cindy Sheehan. Do not bring any signs that mention her at all.
Being that Crawford is a bit hot these days, we encourage everyone attending to be on their best behavior and not do or say anything to embarrass our troops and their families. That means no cussin' and no fightin'. Seriously. If you don't think you can behave yourself, do everyone (including the Crawford police) a favor and stay home.
We are waiting to hear from the Crawford police about where we can hold a permitted rally. We have been told it will be allowed, we just need to know where exactly in Crawford that will be. We will make an announcement as soon as the location is nailed down.
In the meantime, please copy and pass this announcement along to your families, friends and e-mail lists if you think they'll want to stand up for our country on Saturday. Our troops need to hear from us loud and clear that we support them and their mission.
See you in Crawford!
We now have an assigned spot where we can gather.
There is a field with a lake that is owned by the city. We have been assigned the north end of that field--(closest to the Fina station)
We will be at the intersection of East 4th and Chisolm Trail.
Remember, the law enforcement in Crawford will be very busy, and probably over-extended. Let's make this a very orderly Freep, if at all possible.
Any one contacted the Protest Warriors out of Austin? If not, you might want to let them know about this rally.
Good grief! Do you think we might now get more than the 6 people attending that the DUmmies were predicting?
I would not pay attention to a bunch of bed wetters!
Good Luck, Basil! I hope all goes well.
Done
I personally can guarantee at least that number in my party. (BTW, the car is full.)
Kudos from a New York Bush supporter!
I will be there in spirit, of course..have you contacted the Protest Warriors? I believe their headquarters is located in Texas.
She's got the money behind her now to have her show up at Support the Troops Rallys and put a negative spin on them all.

If someone can post a map to this location, I would appreciate it.
Link.
Ignore the little red thumbtack. On this map you can see Chisolm Tr. and 4th.
In any event, if you make it to that intersection, you'll be able to see us.
My boyfriend heard about the rally on Mike Gallagers radio show. Mike & friends are leaving this afternoon to head down there. My boyfriend thinks the rally is tonight. Can anyone tell me if the time has changed or if it's still going to happen on Saturday? We plan on coming!
It's still on for tomorrow at noon.
Bellstar, look through this thread for details.
I e-mailed that he better talk to the authorities, but got no reply.
I updated your thread with the info from post 149 and 150.
Thanks for the info... I wasn't sure what MG was up to and why he was going tonight instead of tomorrow. I'm going to try to convince him to go tomorrow. I've already started making signs.
Understand that Doctor Raoul of the Takoma Park Demmings is to be present. You're going to have some fun for sure with the Doctor of Freep present.
basil you take care now.
You keep at 'em! (BIG THUMBS UP)
