LATEST RALLY DRAWS OVER 1,000+ IN LIBERAL SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

(ON THE ROAD IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA) - Crowds continue to build as the Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) gains momentum! Yesterday in the very liberal San Francisco Bay Area, more than 1,000 people turned out to show their support for smaller government, less deficit-spending, and opposition to government-run healthcare.

The rally held particular importance as a Special Election for Congress takes place on November 3rd in California's 10th Congressional District. Conservative candidate for Congress, David Harmer, spoke at the event.

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.

Press Inquiries, please contact: Levi Russell at 509.979.6615 or Levi@Frontlinestrat.com

AFP Oregon

Join AFP-Oregon State Director Jeff Kropf at tomorrow's Teaparty Express Bus Tour in Portland!  Jeff will speak to the crowd and help fire up the rally against the bailouts, cap and trade, out-of-control spending, government-run healthcare, and higher taxes!   


Don't miss this opportunity!


Date:  Friday, October 30, 2009

Time:  1:00 pm

Place:  Michael's Italian Beef & Sausage Co, 1111 SE Sandy Blvd, PORTLAND

Cost:  Free!


P.S. - Be sure and plan on getting lunch at this event.  Here's a review of the great food from Willamette Week:

To experience Chicago in Portland, head to Michael's Italian Beef and Sausage Co. (1111 SE Sandy Blvd., 503-230-1899) where owner and Windy City native Michael Zokoych, 53, has been serving a taste of the City of Big Shoulders since 1976. The "Italian Beef" is thinly sliced, marinated in a gravy of its own juices, and served in an Italian roll (dipped in the gravy on request) with optional sweet or hot pepper. It's one of Zokoych's best sellers, among both the locals who have learned to love them and the Chicago ex-pats who Zokoych jokes will never let him go out of business. Priced at $6.45 ($3.40 for a half), this huge working-man's sandwich will fuel you for the day, whether you're laboring at a foundry or sweating over a hot keyboard.

Woo hoo. Thousands made it in the Bay area!!! Conservatism is still alive, even there.

Great news. And I noticed this:


The rally held particular importance as a Special Election for Congress takes place on November 3rd in California's 10th Congressional District. Conservative candidate for Congress, David Harmer, spoke at the event.
I hope he makes it out there in the 10th district. He has been ignored by the RNC and NRCC. But he was polling much better than expected in that gerrymandered “safe Democrat district.” We will see next week if he can motivate conservatives to the polls.

I hope to be there in Orlando on the 12th of November. Maye I'll see you there.


From the desk of
cc2k:
Candidates I support: Doug Hoffman for Congress, NY 23rd (PayPal), David Harmer for Congress, CA 10th (website for info).

Please, spread the word about these important special elections on November 3, 209: New York’s 23rd congressional district and California’s 10th congressional district.

I have emailed the express.org site about maps in the tour schedule that do not match the locations for the express visit. Particularly, Helena MT and Rapid City SD. both sites have a Coffeyville KS map associated with the links on the tour schedule page. There may be more such, I have only investigated through Denver. I emailed two or three days ago and nothing has changed. Do you know anyone that maintains their schedule info on the net?
