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!

Kristinn is there too, and I think he lives in Virginia.

He must have a double. LOL.

What's the story with Allen?

I think a number of peopel, including Senator Allen, took the position that it would be a kind thing to do BEFORE information came out that Cindy Sheehan was something quite different from just a mother consumed by grief because of the loss of a son. There was a good deal of compassion for her here before we found out more about this Professional Griever. I doubt that Allen would take that position now. jmho.

She actually offered to sent him to Canada ... or run over him with a car so he wouldn't have to go to Iraq.

I believe the reply was thanks, but no thanks.

I find this very disheartening. I think we should all call our congressman, esp republicans, and discourage it. Imagine if the political party was reversed, and someone camped outside, say the WH, an arrest would be definate.

I plan to call my congressman and senators and ask them to show a little backbone by standing up against this nonsense.

I wouldn't give too much credence to their sources.

Yes, yes. I stand corrected about Kristinn's whereabouts.I mis-read an earlier post.

All I can say is that I'm sure he WOULD have been there if he could have! :~)

The thing that makes me the most frustrated is that these are not "kids"...They are MEN who have CHOSEN to fight for their country. They may be very, very young when they join, and on occasion they may join for less than logical reasons. But, once there, they become MEN. And all of them did it of their own volition. Grrrrr....

I agree. I saw that woman frothing at the mouth about what she planned to tell the President, and my blood ran cold. I don't want her anywhere near my President. I think she's dangerous.
