TexasTurf planning 10,000 strong march on Austin
The Navasota Examiner reports Hank Gilbert of Texas Turf is attempting to organize at 10,000 strong march on Austin in protest of the Trans Texas Corridor.
The news item, which appears to come from a promotional flier, details the spectacle the group hopes will draw more attention to their cause:
We need 10,000 people to attend. We also need as many tractors, horses, etc. as possible. There will be national media at this event - so we need it to be huge!
The rally is scheduled for April 5. Stay tuned for updates.
