LIVE THREAD: H.O.T. CHAPTER'S CRAWFORD SUPPORT PRES. AND TROOPS RALLY (8/13/05)
Link to Announcement Thread ^ | Saturday, August 13, 2005 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/13/2005 6:55:59 AM PDT by kristinn

The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.

The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.

Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.

Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.

We'll see.

Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!

Congratulations on the role that each of you played today. Reviewing the thread this evening, the quality of your character stands in marked contrast to those on the other side. The photographs show well-adjusted, happy and hard-working people who would happily take the time from their schedules to make a small but important gesture for their country. For many of you this is mission and ministry, of sorts, and that also shows.

Your actions today make our country proud. You showed the respect, dignity and reverence that are so much a part of the American character. You touched many people, and planted more seeds than you will ever know about.

Eagles up!

Well put.

Ditto.

Good point about Weldon not resting in August!

I like my COngressman a whole lot, he's a great guy. But Weldon sure is the one I'd want if I didn't have him and could choose.

I keep insisting to all you Freepers out there. In addition to events, we need to put the pressure on our Congressmen and women. You know the ones that will listen (not MA or NY)
