We urgently need you to join us in Searchlight, NV tomorrow (Saturday) and this email explains exactly why.

Last night NBC Nightly News joined dozens of other national & international news outlets to report on the upcoming "Showdown in Searchlight."  The whole world is watching - and I'm not exaggerating at all.

This is by far the biggest event in the tea party movement since Congress rammed through government-run heath care this past weekend.  And as a result, everyone is waiting to see if the tea party movement is reinvigorated or if we've resigned ourselves to defeat.  Here is what NPR had to say:

"This weekend will be critical for the Tea Party and conservatives," says David Yepsen of Southern Illinois University's Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

And here was NBC Nightly News sending a correspondent to report from the rally site - 2 days before the rally even takes place:

But it wasn't just NBC and NPR.  CNN-Headline News had this report:

 

 

Here is the report from USA Today:

Still don't believe me that the whole world is watching?

 

Here's a report from the Washington Times.  Here's the report from the Las Vegas Sun.  And another report from the San Francisco Chronicle.  And there's a great report you must read from WorldNetDaily.

And there's even more.  Here's the report from AOL News.  And National Journal.  I could go on and on... this is just the tip of the iceberg, but I hope by now you get the point.

 

We need you in Searchlight this Saturday (tomorrow).  If you can get in your car and drive up, or hop on a plane, or take your motorhome or motorcycle, please please please join this historic effort.

 

Our team has worked so hard to make this event possible - backed by a coalition of dozens of national, state and local tea party and conservative organizations from ResistNet to AngerIsBrewing, our great friends at FreeRepublic and many more.  We promise you it will be an incredible experience.  It's already being called potentially one of the largest such rallies in Nevada's history.  And it hasn't even taken place yet.

MEDIA:  Tea Party Supporters Already Arriving for "Showdown in Searchlight"

Land Owner Invites Tea Party Activists to

"Camp Out" at Rally Site Starting Tonight (Friday Evening)

The "Showdown in Searchlight" mega tea party event is more than 24-hours away, yet supporters have already started arriving in Searchlight for the event.  In fact, the owner of the 160-acre property that the rally is being held on (Mr. T.D. Barnes) has invited supporters to come and camp out at the rally location beginning this evening (Friday, March 26th).

It doesn't get closer to a "Conservative Woodstock" than this.

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams aired a report on the upcoming rally on Thursday evening's broadcast, including an interview with a man who had just arrive for the rally... from Montana.  Watch the news report by NBC News' Lee Cowan - HERE:

Staging and equipment for the rally will also begin arriving this afternoon, and staff from the Tea Party Express will work with local coordinators to ensure that the event runs as smoothly as possible.

"We have untold thousands of people coming for what may be the biggest such rally in Nevada's history.  It might be crowded or chaotic at times, but it will be a profoundly meaningful and significant event for those who come join our tea party rally," said Ryan Gill of the Tea Party Express.

Go get ‘em!!!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Empty Las Vegas into Searchlight!

[AuntB]

A station out of Reno, KKHO, is giving you good coverage.

Good luck, wish I could be there.

[butterdezillion]

Maybe somebody could hold up a sign representing Former Las Vegas resident Nellie and her hubby and 4 kids - who are in Nebraska wishing they could be there to support this effort.

[Major Matt Mason]

Who cares what the media says? They can try to talk down our side all they want, which will make the thumping the Dems receive in November all the more satisfying.

[CedarDave]

From my NV map, Searchlight is about halfway between Boulder City and Laughlin, a distance of about 40 miles from either location. An easy 45-50 minute drive from hotels and casinos.

Wish I was close by and could attend. Good luck all!

[drdemars]

Will be at Flagstaff rally Sunday at 6 P.M. from Cottonwood.
Go Searchlight!

[crz]

There aint enough room! You blink while you go through that place and you miss it.

[Reagan69]

I tried to get a flight in... they are all full.

Also, I’ve heard that the hotels are booked. If that’s any indication, it should be huge.

Prayers are with you all !!! I predict a half a million people !

[Sunshine Sister]

Oh my gosh! I wish I could be there. I hope there are a hunch of posts to FR with updates on what is happening.

Good luck and I hope you have an excellent rally! God Bless America!

[Pikachu_Dad]

wow, that was a VILE article.

the ‘tea party brigade’ ... ‘on the march again’?

So now we are an ARMY... Dry up Brian Williams.

Wow, a political campaign to remove a Senator from his Senate seat... how horrible. How could such a travesty ever happen in America...

Lee (the reporter) looks a bit light in the loafers.

What was up with that shot of Harry? He walks up to the camera and then stands in profile? He doesn’t look at the camera or speak. Wow, that is weird.

And then he manages to go find a few democrats to complain about the rally. Apparently holding an opposition political rally is now ‘impolite’.

and caps with this...

‘I am not really ... gleeful ... that someone is going to come her to knock on my old friend’

I have to go barf, this is a most disgusting article

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’ll be there taking pics...anyone who wants on my pic ping list just let me know!

[Syncro]

Yea it’s a bummer isn’t it when the MSM promotes conservitive causes

Who cares if they get the word out for us

[Marmolade]

Add me to that list, please.

And go get ‘im in Searchlight.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Done!!

[Gadsden1st]

Any web cam setups??

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’ll just have still shots but I’ll try to post a lot of them!

[FreeAtlanta]

They are gloating. The left is so stupid, hateful and childish, they don't realize what can happen if they don't back down and keep pushing.

They are the school yard bullies.

[no dems]

Does anyone have a head-count on how many people have already arrived in Searchlight?
