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.
TXBubba and Blastus family will be there!
However, you are NOT welcome to join our freep. We will have no signs, no references to anything other than the fact that we support our troops and our president, and their mission.
Anyone not abiding by the rules of this freep as stipulated here, will be asked to leave--by police escort, if necessary.
>>That means no cussin' and no fightin'.<<
Then forget it!
Pttth!
Aw, come on and join. Y'all can cuss at me, I won't mind one bit.
Wishing you well from San Francisco! Sorry I can't join you, but will be there in spirit!
SMILE!
click
gotcha!
Guess I better have the freeper jr. and freepette in proper patriotic attire?! :D
bump
Best wishes for a great crowd supporting our troops, our president and our mission, in Crawford!
EAGLES UP !!
What outside pressure caused the radio stations to cancel a rally to support the troops? Can you let us know which stations and what groups pressured them?
Best of luck.
Lots of "Freedom isn't free" signs too please.
And "WE really do support the troops" signs.
If the media hears that there will be America-loving, military-supporting patriots there in Crawford, they won't come. They hate that more than anything.
FYI .. just thought I'd let you know my local Philadelphia Radio Station mentioned this rally
Is anyone from the Fort Worth area going? If so, I'd like to try to arrange a car pool, as that's the only way I'll be able to go, and I REALLY want to be there for this.
send me a message on the site and we'll set something up.
Land of the Free
BECAUSE of the BRAVE!
Making plans to be there...never been to a rally in my life...but will make this.. my first...also did something today that I had never done b/4....shook hands with a 103 yr old man in Frisco, TX today. Indeed an honor...
So glad this is going forward, I'll be there with lots of big flags!
They really mentioned our freeper rally in Philadelphia? Wow. Any of you folks coming in from out of state?
Where have you been and why don't you answer e-mails???????? Okay, we'll see you on Saturday!
Tony Snow mentioned it today on his show. 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.
