Anti-war & progressive groups in the Metroplex area plan a huge protest to be held in downtown Fort Worth Aug. 31st – Sept. 1st when the National Republican Party is planning to have 20,000 delegates from throughout the U.S. & all of the Republican Presidential candidates attend their Straw Poll Convention at the Ft. Worth Convention Center. This will be the beginning of the month when Gen. Patreaus is to give his report to the nation. The national media will probably cover this Convention.
