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"

LINK TO BRAND NEW THREAD *********************

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!


UPDATE

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.

On Darrel Ankarlo's show this morning on KLIF,a caller said he owns the property directly accross from where the Bush haters and their media minions were holding court. The caller said that those who would be in Crawford tomorrow to show their support were welcome to use his land. Sorry I don't have his name, but if you call KLIF, they may be able to give it to you. This information came to me second hand from someone who lives in the D-FW area.

Wish I could be there with you, but I'm stuck in Missouri at work tomorrow. God bless you all, and take lots of pics!

God bless you and all others who will attend to show support for our country, our troops and our President! I want sooooooooo badly to be there. I'm scheduled to be at a going away gathering for Church man, his wife and 6 kids who are going to Africa to be missionaries or I would definitely fly across this great country to be there!
I PRAY a good number turn out. We need to show our troops and our President there are many people who support them.
Again, God bless you for doing this!

I'm going to try to convince him to go tomorrow. I've already started making signs.

If he won't go, grab a friend and put those signs to great use!

Since the media will try to show you as anti-Cindy, have signs that ask for Hillary to account for her role in the Reno/Gorelick Wall which they media is ignoring. DU, etal are keeping the Able Danger story supressed. This could be Hillary's Waterloo. National Security will still be an issue in 08.

This is an AOL poll. AOL, which, unfortunately, is my carrier is generally liberal and appears so are their subscribers so no surprise by the poll results.
The President DID meet with Ms. Sheehan. Enough.

They had several death threats made towards them. The ironic thing is one of the talk show host, own son already did one tour in Iraq and is now in sniper school, getting ready for another tour.

That would be Daryl (sic) Ankarlo of KLIF in Dallas. It was right towards the end of his show this morning, (5-9AM) when he stated that he's coming and asked his listeners to show up as well. It might be a separate affair, but he is coming. Info is supposed to be up on the KLIF site (www.klif.com), but as of noon central time, it is not yet up. In fact Ankarlo's page shows as "under construction". He read the letter from the Sheehan family and talked with a man whose son was also killed in Iraq.

Do you think we might now get more than the 6 people attending that the DUmmies were predicting?

lol. I just hope I'll be able to find yall . Sounds like it's going to be a good turn out. Even though numbers don't always mean much. I've seen just a handful of freepers diffuse a group of hundreds.

Please note: This rally is NOT about Cindy Sheehan. Do not bring any signs that mention her at all.

All due respect: then why go? The news in Crawford is Cindy 24/7 and if you're not going to mention her, you could hold a support our troops rally in Austin and get the same effect. The media will be all over themselves rushing to the 20 or so ditch witch supporters and ignoring you anyway.

Why make it political? Keep it about supporting our military.

Because that's where the cameras are. This way all the people offended by this "grieving mother's" act will now see that she is speaking for a small minority. Don't have any signs about here, which could/will be misinterpreted. Just show the flag and praise those defending our freedom.

DU keeping the Able Danger story supressed? No, there was a DUmmie either yesterday of the day before too stupid to realize that a year before 9/11 their guy was in charge and every other DUmmie was egging him on.
