Kickoff Rally a Huge Success!

Hi everyone!  We've now launched the Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day with a giant rally in San Diego.  It was incredible!!  The crowd was huge - numbering in the thousands!  The sun was shining on this naval town with our rally on the water and the U.S.S. Midway serving as the backdrop.  Sorry Keith Olbermann and any critics of the Tea Party Express - but "We The People" came together in San Diego today and our voice was heard!

I can't begin to tell you how exciting the event was and how meaningful it was for all of us.  If you were there you know the energy that radiated through the crowd.

The speakers at the rally were great - including nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Roger Hedgecock and California conservative hero, Chuck DeVore, who is challenging Barbara Boxer for Congress.  The musical performers were great.  It just doesn't get any better than this.

We'll be posting continuous updates on the tour at our blog: http://teapartyexpressblog.blogspot.com/

And we've seen EXPLOSIVE growth in the number of people RSVP'ing to come to a Tea Party Express rally.  We need you to RSVP and then click the "Invite People to Come" link (it's located under the square logo on the upper right portion of the page).  You can RSVP for a rally, and invite others to come here:  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=162165327131

And now our strategy is to look down the schedule and see what events are coming up that need our focus and attention so we can build larger crowd sizes.  We know the media and liberal activists (some people like Keith Olbermann are both) are just wating for us to have a small crowd size so they can say the tea party movement is "failing" or falling apart.  We want to show the world that this movement is GROWING and getting bigger, and stronger, each day!

TPXII Creates Traffic Jam in Los Angeles!

Hello everyone - we just pulled into our rally location in Los Angeles (Griffith Park) and found ourselves running behind. As we got to the roads off the freeway leading to the venue we were noticing that the traffic was bumper-to-bumper and showed no signs of letting up. And then we realized why.

The traffic jam was from the more than 1,000 people who had showed up for the Tea Party Express rally. All the parking spaces in Griffith Park at our venue were taken. The overflow parking lots were filled. And there were streams of cars still trying to get in, but having no place to park.

Conservative Republican Assemblyman Chuck DeVore just spoke. He is running against Sen. Barbara Boxer (Liberal-Democrat) and is one of the "good guys." The GOP establishment is trying to woo Carly Fiorina (former HP executive) to run. But she represents more of the same - politicians who believe in power and 'going along to getting along.' We're so excited to see Chuck DeVore passionately articulating a strong, conservative message - and the crowds love him!

Now speaking is Peter Foy of Americans for Prosperity. He was one of the leaders in the campaign to Defeat Prop 1A which was a giant tax increase ballot measure here in California. Again, this is someone who walked the walk - and didn't just talk the talk.

More soon - including pictures.

THANK YOU to all of you who have helped make this first day of the Tea Party Express a giant success. It's been amazing, folks!

Thanks, the people are rising up to confront the unconstitutional affronts to our liberties and our Constitutional Republic by a government that refuses to acknowledge for whom they work.

CONSERVATIVE GROUPS JOIN TEA PARTY EXPRESS

 

TEA PARTY EXPRESS LAUNCHES THIS SUNDAY - OCTOBER 25TH

 

(SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA) - The national, cross-country Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) launches his Sunday, October 25th - 11:00 AM at Tuna Harbor Park in downtown San Diego, California.

 

Conservative groups have joined forces to make this massive national effort possible.  Besides the lead sponsor, the Our Country Deserves Better Committee, the Tea Party Express II enjoys support from Grassfire.org, ResistNet, Free Republic, Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, National Tax Limitation Committee, Americans for Prosperity, the Conservative MultiCultural Coalition, and dozens of local tea party groups across the country.

 

The Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day national tour will span 19 days, rallies in 38 cities, and cover more than 7,000 miles.  The tour marks the one-year point from the 2010 elections when numerous members of Congress will be targeted for defeat, as a result of their support of higher deficits, growth in the size and intrusiveness of government, higher taxes, bailouts and more.

 

The Tea Party Express will specifically rally opposition to efforts to pass a government-run health care plan.

 

The Tea Party Express II is a 19-day, 7,000-mile journey across the country with a caravan of vehicles holding tea party rallies in 38 cities across America.  The Tea Party Express is advocating for less government spending, an end to the bailouts, lower taxes, opposition to government-run healthcare and opposition to the growth in the size and intrusiveness of government in general.

Expecially that Free Republic, it's great to have Jim Robinson and family on tour again!

Are you on board?

Looking forward to the Rapid City, SD stop.

[Syncro]

Yes I am!

I hope to meet you when we get there.

Oh, and thanks for your service to our Country and your lifelong dedication to the oath you took!

Now if we can only find a few politicians that keep it.

And I do believe we will!

What's the weather gonna be like when we pull in?

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!!

Fresno/Central Valley bump!!

Tea Party Express rally at Eaton Park, downtown near the water tower at 1:30 today!!

Hope to see you there!!

What’s the weather gonna be like when we pull in?

The reception will be warm, despite the potential for cool temperatures. What we have been having is rain, freezing rain, snow, blowing snow, sleet, and more sleet, with a few hours of sun in between, but by the time you get here it could be fifty degrees. I’ll look up the NOAA forcast and go with that.

[wita]

Oh, I almost forgot, WIND.

The seven day forecast is a day short for your arrival, but as you may see, wind, snow, cold temps, etc are in the upcoming seven day forecast. This, BTW is one of, if not the coldest Octobers in my 30 year experience in Rapid City.
