Pro-Troop Rally Stops in Fresno

3/1/2007

PRO-TROOP RALLY STOPS IN * STOCKTON... * FRESNO... *BAKERSFIELD... 
 
One of the biggest patriotic events in recent times will be travelling through Central California on Thursday, March 8, 2007 - and we need everyone who supports our troops & our veterans to turn out and participate in this huge event. 
 
On Thursday, March 8th a patriotic pro-troop caravan of vehicles will be travelling through Northern California with several pro-troop rally stops in cities across the region including:  a 2:30 PM Pro-Troop Rally at Eastside Community Park in Stockton; a 5:45 PM Pro-Troop Rally at the Fresno Convention Center before meeting a gathering of Pro-Troop Supporters outside the Bakersfield Doubletree Hotel at 8:55 PM.  Another Pro-Troop Rally will take place the next day - on Friday March 9th at 8:30 AM at Heritage Park in Bakersfield.     
 
We need supporters to show up to these pro-troop rally locations, and if possible, drive along with the caravan from the rallies for at least part of the way.  (Decorate your vehicle with red, white, blue effects/American flag decals, and bring American flags to the rally locations, please!).  We expect the media to cover these events so we need a good sized crowd to turn out! 
 
This caravan of vehicles will be heading from Northern California all the way to Washington, D.C. - picking up new vehicles and supporters along the way.  At each rally stop we are collecting American flags from pro-troop supporters like yourself to display at a giant pro-troop rally in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Mall.  By the time we reach Washington, D.C. on March 17th we will conduct a giant pro-troop and patriotic rally to counter planned anti-war demonstrations (that weekend marks the 4th anniversary of the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom).
 
The national pro-troop/patriotic caravan -  "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN"  -  is sponsored by Move America Forward (the nation's largest grassroots, pro-troop group - www.MoveAmericaForward.org ).  We organized the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" caravan and the "We Support Our Troops AND Their Missions" bus tour across this nation.  Now, we're leading the "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN" national caravan to create a patriotic, and uplifting event that offers a positive alternative to all the negativity and defeatism from the anti-war crowd.

   IMPORTANT:    We are asking people to bring flags to our rallies to be displayed at a “Flag City” exhibit in Washington D.C. After the Rally the flags will be shipped over seas to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan (with a placard explaining where the flags flew and how this was a show of American support for the them!).  Please help us build big crowds for these  Central California  events and forward this notice on to as many people as you can!
