TEXAS CITIZENS RALLY IN SUPPORT OF USA

FREE ENTERPRISE AND AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE TO BE CELEBRATED DURING EXXON-MOBIL ANNUAL MEETING

DALLAS – In a show of strength and solidarity of cause, citizens from across Texas and the nation will be rallying in front of The Morton H. Meyerson Center in Dallas to express their support for the USA at a time when some have sought to drag it down.

Members of the Texas Chapters of FreeRepublic.com, the Free Republic Network, Texas Citizens for a Sound Economy (TCSE), Texas Citizens Action Network (TexasCAN) and The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) along with other Texas citizens feel the Exxon-Mobil Shareholders meeting is the perfect place to rally.

“This annual meeting is the embodiment of the American free enterprise system at its best,” said Kenda Spaulding, contact for the FreeRepublic Chapter of North Texas. “Corporations like Exxon-Mobil are among America’s largest employers, and citizens who invest their money in a great company like Exxon-Mobil help to provide jobs and stimulate the economy. They are the life blood of our economy and we want them and everyone else to know that we support them and love our country.”

The rally will feature hundreds of citizens and a colorful bit of street theater as a way of expressing support for the USA. “Our men and women in uniform are protecting our way of life while anarchists are screaming invectives,” Spaulding added. “What they don’t seem to want to acknowledge is that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness aren’t possible without oil – just ask the Iraqis.”

It will be interesting to see if the national establishment media has any interest in rallies by *supporters* of capitalism.

Based on their dismal coverage of the pro-troops rallies, I'd say probably not.

Paging Fox News...
