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!


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.

yes, talk shows should be contacted - e.g. Hannity and Hewitt both of which have been covering the Sheehan event. Wish I could be there to show support for military, but am in AZ. Good luck getting MSM coverage (it won't happen unless they can spin it as a negative).

If I still lived in TX, I would be there, with bells on! And have yellow ribbons and American flags!

Since I can't be there in person, I will pray for your success.

You bet. I just had a call from one of the organizers down here. She said this is spreading like wildfire and folks who want to honor our soldiers are jumping on board in droves. Can anyone tell me what the limits if any to the sites are as far as how many people will be permitted. This thing looks as if it may break the 4000 mark and we're still making calls.

Romans 12:18
Matthew 5:9
John 18:36
Exodus 20:13
Romans 12:17,19
