Thank you,Heart of Texas Chapter.

We need to contact the local talk show stations around the state tomorrow morning and see if they can get the word out. I'd sure hate to prove the DUmmies right and only have a few of us show up. I'll try and be there if I can arrange a ride. Car is in the shop thus money is exhausted this close to payday.

[BillF]

Great job, basil. Wish I could join you.

Here are some pro-troops sign suggestions from our FReep of the Pinkos at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. (If in the DC area, please join us for the next one on Friday night, Aug 12 per thread details.) Note the large block letters in the signs.

CLICK ON ANY PHOTO AND A LARGE VERSION OF THE PHOTO SHOULD OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW.

All the best, basil.

Wonder how the MSM will play this. They (the MSM) marginalize themselves every day.

From tonight's Drudge Report (8/11/05):

FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY!
Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET

The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.

The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:

Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish.

Thanks, Cherie

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
