Joliet, Illinois (CNN) – Organizers of the Tea Party Express bus tour arriving in Washington later this week planned their route to go though Democratic congressional districts they consider vulnerable.

"What we did was take a map of the United States and then we went head and pin pointed the members of congress that merited our attention and then we looked at those that might be politically vulnerable," said Joe Wierzbicki, a strategist with the conservative PAC Our Country Deserves Better, who are organizing the cross country Tea Party Express tour.

Topping the group's target list in the Senate is current Democrat, and former moderate Republican, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. The Tea Party Express makes four stops in Pennsylvania later this week.

"Arlen Specter has always been a top priority for us, because as long as you had a prominent Republican who was providing the Democrats the means to push through this massive expansion of government, that certainly made him a top priority," says Wierzbicki.

It’s going to be interesting in 2010 to watch the communist go down like 10 pins if they pass this health care bill that will only up the cost of health care.

I guess the democrats didn’t learn anything from little Tommy Daschle.

Sounds like the TEA PARTY EXPRESS is filled with people who also know how to organize communities. How wonderful it would be if they could just continue to crisscross the country, hitting those areas where people are oblivious to how much freedom they have lost to left wing political hacks.
