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!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'll bet he was there.

Lurking in the shadows. I know gunner...yep.

[Txsleuth]

You have an hour and 15 minutes left...keep that kleenex handy...trust me.

[ValerieUSA]

They are hot on his trail...

[Fudd Fan]

I think my Congressman knows my name, I've corresponded and called enough.

[luvie]

Thanks for the warning! It breaks my heart!

[Brad’s Gramma]

If you look in that one tree, REAL CLOSE, you can see beady little eyes.

See 'em?

I saw the "Trump for President" guy down the road at Sheehanistan, mingling with the Cav guys. Dunno what his gig was. If I see the Sheriff or any deputies hanging around the courthouse next week, I'll ask. Personally, I think he was double parked in the Twilight Zone. He had that 51-50 look about him.

[ValerieUSA]

I thought it was just an innocent turkey vulture!

[Txsleuth]

The guy with the flag must be the designated "distractor" for the police so humblegunner could "slip in" without being seen...lol

OR, while all of this was going on, he was on a porch drinking iced tea with Dubya...just laughing...

Thanks for posting this picture, ValerieUSA. Basil is sure looking great today.

Well done to all the FReepers and others who stood on the side of America and our troops today.

Jeff,

WOW


Great job as "MC" today! Even better than that, America, and the right, shows that our Patriotism is working all the time! Thread should do well over 50K+, if not75K!


Next time I see you, introduce me to the new guy - Glock Rocks!

[Txsleuth]

"Sheehanistan"...it would be good..

except that it is Casey's name also...and while I do laugh at Sheehanistan, it is kinda not fair to a bronze medal winner.

This is NOT to be critical of you...I am saying this in critisizm of his mother!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Which direction???

That's easy, Valerie!

The lady is pointing to her RIGHT and Doctor Raoul is indicating "right is up, left is down" in the struggle for liberty and freedom from totalitarians! ;^)

GREAT JOB on the photos, thanks for being our "eyes" today!

[185JHP]

I'm glad America has people like them...

[del4hope]

Well said. Thank you to all for your efforts today. Thank you for making our voices heard in Crawford from other parts of the country.

I am calling it a night. May God's Grace be with you all.

[Txsleuth]
