RALLY Sat. in Crawford! Buses from TX metro-cities
Submitted by admin on Wed, 2005-08-24 13:41. Events
We need help putting this out widely AND letting people know that charter buses from Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth (or one in between?) are being arranged: please help us identify good convergence spots in those cities (large parking lot for people to park their car safely for the full day/close to city bus lines for those without cars/centrally located or on the side of town that is closest to Crawford) and we need help with mobilizing people to fill the buses, or possibly take RSVPs to see if we have enough buses on order for people interested.

Please spread around this event info far and wide, and email me at [e-mail] for help on above:

Caravan to Crawford to Rally Support for Cindy Sheehan, The Gold Star Families, Military Families and Veterans

Saturday, August 27th - Noon

Join us afterward for Hoe-Down BBQ from 2:00 – 5:00

We’re Inviting George and Laura to join us for some good food and conversation.

We have a few questions to ask him!

The vigil of Cindy Sheehan and the other families and veterans in Crawford has struck a chord with the American people. Like these Gold Star moms, we ask the President to take a few moments of his five week vacation to tell them why brave Americans like Casey Sheehan have been sent to their deaths in Iraq.

Cindy has also hit a nerve. The President and his right-wing supporters know that Cindy Sheehan and her simple quest for answers threaten their hold on power. That’s why the White House has coordinated a smear campaign against a grieving mother, rather than hear her concerns. The conservative pundits have been turned loose on talk radio and cable-news to slander Cindy and the other grieving moms.

Now they are organizing a giant rally in Crawford to further demean Cindy and mock her sacrifice. We are putting together our own rally to support Cindy and the Gold Star moms.

Show the Bush administration that all Americans demand to know the truth. Come to Crawford this Saturday at noon for a rally to support America’s Gold Star families at the new Camp Casey.

With only days before the encampment is over, it is more important than ever to show that Americans support these mothers and demand answers from our President.

These families have paid the ultimate price for the administration’s lies leading up to the war in Iraq and we all deserve answers. Please join us in honoring their sacrifice and demanding answers from a President who sent our troops off to war under false pretexts.

Details:

Organize a bus or carpools from your community. It’d be great to have a bus from all around Texas.
If you do drive, please park at the Crawford Peace House and take one of our shuttle buses.
BRING WATER FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS!!!!!!
Bring an Apple Pie to share!
For more information, go to www.MeetwithCindy.org

Directions From I-35, take exit 330 to 6 North. Go about 7 miles, cross Lake Waco and once it becomes a one-lane road, there will be a stop light. Take that left onto Rt. 85 and go 9 miles into Crawford. The Peace House will be on your right just before the railroad tracks!

3. I think one anti-Cindy bus will get utterly lost in the crowd

Hopefully, the busses will make it easier for folks to attend.
