Rally Eve has arrived, and things are really looking good for the event in Crawford tomorrow. An awful lot of preparation has gone into trying to make this event very worthwhile and well run.
Some of us will be at the rally site by 9AM. If others are coming early, you are invited to come on by our rally site, and lend a hand in last minute preparations. Whatever time you come, use lots of sunscreen, bring a good supply of water, and wear a sun hat , The weather is predicted to be well over 100 degrees, with high humidity. There will be big fans set up to at least stir the air a bit, but be prepared to be hot. It is, after all, August in Texas.
Once again, here is where to find us: We will be at the Community Center, which is next to the Crawford High School football stadium, on East 4th Street. Freepers and friends who are already on site will be placing directional signs around Crawford, guiding folks to our site. Of course, there's always the possibility that these signs will be removed or destroyed by the other side--but we are trying to make it easy for everyone to find our event.
At this point, we have no idea how many will show up, of course. I've seen all sorts of estimates---but from experience, I know these estimates are always hugely overblown. However many show up is how many we will have is my best estimate--LOL!
We have an excellent lineup of speakers--most of whom are family of active duty service men and women in the Middle East now, and we have at least one man who will speak, who did at least one tour in Iraq himself, but who, sadly, buried his twin brother in June--the victim of a gun battle between US Forces and the terrorists.
A group of firemen will be cooking and serving Barbequed brisket and sausage on the grounds. We are asking for a freewill donation to cover the firemen's cost when you get your barbeque.
Angelwood has provided us with some of her wonderful Freeper buttons to pass around, and freeper W04 (I can't remember all of his name--will look it up and add it later), has sent some excellent, very large banners that we hope to be able to put across the front of the stage.
Kristinn has been in Crawford since Wednesday, making all the important arrangements for procurring all things necessary for putting on a rally of this magnitude. Doctor Raoul will once again be joining us.
Hope to meet and greet a whole lot of Freepers tomorrow!
EAGLES UP!
hodar & I are planning on meeting up w/the caravan in Waco. However, if the need is greater, we'd be happy to come straight to Crawford to help set things up. Either way, we are very excited.
THANK YOU for all the work you've done towards the rally tomorrow and the previous one a few weeks back.
Believe it or not, this may be a good thing...no time for them to make up lies; Did we really expect them to report anything (ergo, two momen in a van are going to Crawford to counter-protest, they have photos of Casey calling him a hero, how dare they...you get the gist). But guess what, they can't help but show today and tomorrow...the media is whorish for Cindy, but also tired of Cindy...and it is news. Expect the peaceniks to get rowdy...especially the girly-man ex-Marine (yeech), he already had a scuffle with a cameraman the other day... so much pent up rage...oh well.
Sean, Brit, Rush, Levin, Ingraham and O'Reilly mentioned it day before yesterday...we were in heaven.
I'm sending out constantly to 400 media sources...they have to feel the pressure.
Is this a poster? It should be down there too.
Basil, how close will we be to Camp Cindy? I am seriously considering coming out with my camcorder to make a documentary of this.
You saw the pic huh?
I saw her. I know...lying sos. What hags, can't get a man or a woman, so they don't know what to do with themselves.
I have a printable version I will put on the web, and will send you a link. It is an 8x10, but high resolution, and would probably hold up well if printed poster-size.
Give me a minute and I will give you a link.
I thought you were bringing the woodchippers? Oh, the actual paper trash... my bad.
I just heard John Gibson (who is subbing for O'Reilly on his radio show) say that he agrees with someone that told him that those Code Pinkos that protest outside Walter Reed Hospital are "human IEDs, out to rehurt our troops" as they try to rehabilitate!
Code Pinkos=Human IEDS!!!!! Indeed!
All that's missing is Kerry and Fonda...
I believe that's called kidnapping. ;)
Is that the one that had the bomb threat or no?
I know it was Yellow Rose something.
Hey ohio, long time. Great to see you. I too will be at prayer.
Doe anyone know approx how far down East 4th the rally is?
Leave it to me to get "misplaced" in Crawford last time and with traffic going to be goshawful....
TIA
Do we have a standard flyer besides an itinerary and mission statements from groups to send out to media as a package? I want to send something more cohesive. If you want press, they have to know where to go.
ONE MORE TIME!
TELL HER NO!! No dialog. It's not about her it's about supporting our troops!
BooYah! That's what i'm talking about...Go Gibson.
We will be several miles from them, Serpent. I have personally never bothered to go out to where they are.
You turn right at the Fina gas station in town. It's only about a 1/4 of a mile, but you will think you are going the wrong way. It's a small, narrow road. Right as you get to the railroad tracks, don't make the mistake we did and go to the Peace House. (It's about a block to the right.) Just keep on going straight!!
Bumping for Crawford and the Caravan.
You will be in our prayers tomorrow.
Stay safe!!
